In Bullet♥︎, players take on the role of heroines in a far-flung future Earth and use their incredible powers to defend the Earth from evil — as well as from one another! Each heroine's powers manifest in a different form, with players controlling sound, paper, technology, gravity, triangles, and more! Turns are simultaneous. Place bullets in your sight, with the color of bullet determining the column and the number how far down in that column it is placed. Use actions to manipulate bullets to form configurations matching your patterns. Using a pattern removes bullets from your sight and sends them to the opponent. When placing bullets, you skip over existing bullets in the column you place it in, with the bullet hitting you if it is placed off your sight. At the end of the turn, you'll gain even more bullets from the center bag as well as what the opponent sent, ensuring each new turn is more hectic than the last! Choosing what order to place bullets, use actions, and use patterns in is key to staying alive as long as possible! Playing with the optional timer makes for even more intense play! Bullet♥︎ includes eight heroines to play and four game modes: Battle Royale Mode: 2–4 players can duel in a free-for-all puzzle battle that plays in real-time! Boss Battle Mode: 1–4 players can combine forces to survive against a single boss; the game includes eight bosses, one corresponding to each heroine. Score Attack Mode: A lone player can play for a high score against increasingly difficult odds. Team Battle Mode: Two teams of two players battle it out! The last team standing wins. —description from the publisher

My BGG Comment
Only played the practice mode without timer so far. This is definitely not easy to get good at. You pull bullets from your bag place them and try to use your action points to get the bullets positioned in patterns to remove enough so you don‘t bust. I have only played the two easy mode characters on the score attack so far. I imagine this getting quite crazy with more players and the timer but my partner already declared he cannot play under time pressure (instead he gets AP which is the opposite of what the game wants to be). So maybe this is not the game for us even though he enjoys the art.
