Our take on ONE BTN BOSSES
The bounce point arrives at the control scheme: anyone expecting direct movement, aiming, or several combat inputs will have to adapt to changing direction with one button while managing speed and firing rate.
What is ONE BTN BOSSES?
ONE BTN BOSSES places a ship in automatic orbit around each boss.
A single button changes the ship’s direction, while fewer direction changes increase its speed and firing rate. The game includes a 4-hour campaign with 50 handcrafted bullet-hell levels, plus a concise roguelike mode featuring randomly generated bosses. Boss fights use best-of-3, best-of-5, or best-of-7 structures, providing different levels to attempt when a fight proves difficult. Ship customization combines attack and movement upgrades, with more than 100 possible combinations, including dashes and lasers. Campaign progression follows Ace, an unpaid assistant resisting the bosses, while victories earn Grind Points and unlock additional play options.
