Awaria is a 2024 bullet hell indie video game by Łukasz “Vanripper” Piskorz.[1]
Gameplay
edit
The player controls a mechanic, Ula, who runs through the game's small top-down levels attempting to fix broken machines, while evading the attacks of increasingly aggressive ghost girls.
Depending on the difficulty level, getting hit by a ghost's attack leads to a game over. If Ula manages to evade the ghosts and fix the machines, she can kiss the ghosts as a reward for beating each level.[1]
Development
editAwaria is a stylistic follow-up to Piskorz's 2020 game Helltaker, though it is thematically and mechanically different. "Awaria" means "mechanical breakdown" or "failure" in Polish.
The soundtrack is composed by Mittsies, who had also scored Helltaker.[1] The sound design is by Patryk Karwat.[2]
Piskorz distributes Awaria for free over Steam and itch.io for Windows, Mac and Linux computers.[1][2]
Reception
editLike Helltaker, Awaria was well received by players, with 96% of Steam reviews positive following its release.[3]
