A desktop version is also available for download. The game looks better on desktop.

The Walls Have Bullets is a frantic shoot-em-up where you can't stop firing but hitting the walls can cause the walls to shoot back. Balance dodging and aiming to minimize damage taken and watch your energy meter. This game was made for the Game Maker's Toolkit Game Jam 2020. The theme was "out of control." If you want to check out the original game jam version (bugs and all) it is still avalaible for download as v1.0. Otherwise you should download v1.1.

How to play:

  • Dodge bullets with W, A, S ,and D or left stick
  • Aim at enemies with the mouse or right stick (make sure you enable controller aim in options!)
  • Pick up the colored powerups to refill your ammo
  • Graze bullets to regenerate health (bullets that are inside your indicator circle)
  • Escape pauses the game
