About Isbarah
Isbarah is a cross-genre of bullet hell and platformer style, it's a hardcore 2d game and each level is a duel boss fight.
In Isbarah, you have the standard platformer game controls and bosses will fight like in bullet hell games.
To survive, we have added three abilities to the gameplay:
Players will need to fully understand the boss patterns. It’s built on smartly managing your powers and using them wisely to survive - everything in our game involves dodging and making smart movements.
Live through the story of Isbarah with short comic strips in each level.
Playing Isbarah, you will be following Iria's journey through her lineage.
Iria is a goddess and in order to prevent this world from falling into chaos, her father rules it with an iron fist - and Iria is his only weapon and shield; he uses her to harshly punish anyone that bends the law, and there is no mercy granted.
Isbarah is bound to the imaginary world that all humans fantasize of - encapsulating all their dreams and nightmares into.
Every single thought made by human beings contributes to the shape and size of this world, creating an ever-changing universe full of creatures and landscapes.
These creatures are called The Designed; they all have different shapes and their behaviour depends on the people who have created them.
Alongside these creatures, live also the Designless.
These creatures are only concepts, they haven't been fully created by humans.
These Designless creatures are desperate to evolve and become full designs, therefore, they are constantly infecting other full designs to become more powerful and eventually takeover their shapes.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
[h1] Game consist of boss battles. Avoid bullets by jumping and dashing. Dash in front of sentry gun to activate it and stay in zone to charge them up until fire. Next phase is dodging attacks while staying inside the circle. Not bad, just a bit boring to play. Boss battles are mostly similar. Max resolution up to 1920x1080. Art style for bosses is ok. Music is ok. 5/10 [/h1]5 found this helpful
I dislike having to chase the cannons around the stage and having platforms being just too high to jump on. The combination of genres is alright but other games do it better. You're better off playing outland, furi, rabi-ribi, and tohou luna nights rather than this game. Another plus is that all of them allow you to use a controller in a platformer game. Danmaku are fast frenetic affairs and this one is too slow and clunky, mostly due to the control scheme, to be part of the genre.3 found this helpful
decent game
Another game bought for a background.
Loving the art in the game. It takes a bit to get used to the skill sets in the game. However, this is a pretty good game to sit down and challenge them forearms.
Great little game. Kudos to the developers for such a great original concept and it's execution. The further into the game you get the more addictive it becomes to retry a level and defeat the boss.
