The Same Bullet
THE SAME BULLET
THE SAME BULLET is a time-loop puzzle shooter where every shot you fire becomes a permanent part of all future attempts.
You enter a room with one weapon, one bullet and one target. Time moves slowly. A direct shot is rarely enough.
When the loop restarts, your previous bullet flies again from the same position, at the same angle and at exactly the same moment. You receive another shot, but everything you created in the past remains.
One loop means one bullet.
Five loops mean five bullets.
Twenty loops mean a storm of your own mistakes.
COOPERATE WITH YOUR PAST
Your previous actions can activate switches, open gates, destroy obstacles and create synchronized attacks. Carefully position every shot and use the next loop to complete a plan that no single bullet could achieve.
Old bullets are useful, but they are also dangerous. A perfect ricochet from three loops ago may become the thing that kills you now.
SOLVE TEN TEMPORAL ROOMS
Each room introduces a new variation of the central time-loop mechanic:
- Learn how previous bullets repeat.
- Use walls to create calculated ricochets.
- Activate sensors and pass through temporary gates.
- Synchronize several shots within one moment.
- Navigate narrow corridors and destructible obstacles.
- Cross deadly pulsing lasers.
- Eliminate several targets during the same loop.
- Follow old trajectories through complete darkness.
- Survive bullets that adjust their course and hunt you.
- Discover why the final room cannot be solved with another shot.
THE ROOM REMEMBERS EVERYTHING
A visible timeline shows when every recorded shot will return. Ghosts repeat your previous movement while trajectory indicators help you understand the chaos you created.
Enemies move, dodge and fire back. Explosive barrels trigger chain reactions. Crates can be destroyed. Civilians must survive. Every element follows the same deterministic timeline, allowing you to plan several loops ahead.
