Our take on Voidrun

Using the same objects for offense and defense creates a direct trade-off: attacking enemies also uses the tool that blocks their projectiles. The run structure adds another constraint by removing power-ups as planets are voided.

What is Voidrun?

Voidrun is a fast-paced bullet-hell arcade game in which enemies are defeated by encircling them with Void Balls rather than using a gun.

These Void Balls also block enemy projectiles, making attack selection part of the core play. A playthrough can include up to 9 different worlds, with 9 ships, 4 difficulty modes, and 19 power-ups available across runs. Each run requires voiding 4 planets. Voiding a planet removes a power-up, reducing the available choices as the run continues.

How Voidrun plays

01Void Ball attacks: Enemies are defeated by surrounding them with Void Balls instead of firing a gun.
02Projectile blocking: The Void Balls also block enemy projectiles, making them both an attack and a defensive tool.
03World progression: A playthrough can include up to 9 different worlds and requires voiding 4 planets.
04Ship selection: The game offers 9 different ships to choose from.
05Power-up choices: There are 19 unique power-ups, with power-ups removed as planets are voided.
06Difficulty modes: Four difficulty modes are available.
