GBjam 11 · Bullet Hell

HackerDoom

A bullet hell where you got hacked, lost your cat photos — and you're the antivirus fighting to get them back.

Soundtrack made for GBjam 11 — a game jam I did together with two Russian friends.

You are the antivirus

HackerDoom is a bullet hell. You've been hacked and lost the photos of your cat — so you become the antivirus, blasting through waves of viruses to recover them.

It's hard, but it is beatable. Push through the viruses and you get your cat back.

One week, mostly weekends

I programmed HackerDoom in GDScript on the Godot engine. We built the whole thing in a single week, with most of the work happening across the weekends.

It's one of the games I most enjoyed making — even if it stressed me out plenty. I remember that stretch of coding it fondly.

What I loved most was the soundtrack, made by my Russian friend Vitya. It's a partnership that still lasts today — we've made 3 games together, me on the code and Vitya on the sound.
