About Solid Aether

NOTHING BUT BULLET HELL.

Solid Aether is a bullet hell shoot'em up game that is extremely simple designed.
It is a classic 2D shooter game featuring a variety of bullet patterns that are generated continuously in a stylish black and white world.

Features

  • Minimalist and abstract art: The visual is artistically designed, based on black and white and using only rectangular-shaped elements, which offers an unique and comfortable gameplay.
  • Variety of bullet patterns: Consisting of countless bullets, the patterns will be deployed one after another.
  • Four unique levels: Each level is characterized by its own music and tendency of bullet patterns.
  • Extremely simple game mechanics: No bombs. No power-ups. No items. Just dodge and shoot.
  • Newbie friendly: You can easily recover from mistakes by destroying enemies and receiving extra lives, which lets you enjoy the game even if you aren't familiar with shmups (sorry, may not be very suitable for those who want high difficulty or who take score attacks seriously).

A minimalist shooter with a beautiful presentation, wonderful music, and challenging yet strangely relaxing gameplay, Solid Aether is in my opinion the best "training shmup" around. The graphics are as minimalist as you can get, but they are also incredibly clear and easy to read. The game is very challenging, with low key graphics, and music that get's you excited, but not so excited you make mistakes. I didn't feel overwhelmed at any time during play, and every time I died (lots and lots of times) it was always very clear what killed me, and how I should have avoided it. There are no cheap deaths, only teachable moments. The only thing I feel like this game is missing is bombing, and that only because I need more practice with bombing and would love to practice in this game! Also the music is wonderful and very listenable even if you're not one to listen to video game music outside of a gaming session (like me!).
