## Description

Heck Deck is an innovative bullet hell card game where bullets are represented as cards and time advances only as you move. Players explore five distinct stages filled with unique enemies and challenging bosses. The game combines precision and dexterity in bullet hell phases with strategic card management, as each card costs at least one life point to pick up.

Featuring a charming hand-drawn art style, Heck Deck offers a rich experience with different music themes, enemy types, and settings across each level. Dozens of attacks and spells, coupled with a shop system to buy and sell cards for health, add deep layers of gameplay. This fusion of card strategy and bullet hell mechanics makes Heck Deck a uniquely engaging challenge for fans of both genres.
