Terrain, actors, boss and bullets are sprites now, and four sounds play off server events. 548KB total across seven files, out of 3.9GB of source packs. - src/view/art.gd holds every atlas rect and sound path in one table, copied from the 0x72 pack's own tile_list. Scattering coordinates through draw calls would make re-cutting the atlas a hunt, and a wrong rect invisible. - Bullets get one MultiMesh per kind rather than one overall: a MultiMeshInstance2D carries a single texture and each kind needs a different region of the sheet. Four draw calls, no custom shader passing UVs through per-instance data. - src/view/sfx.gd is a 16-voice round-robin pool. Bullet-hell fire rates mean sounds overlap constantly, and identical sounds landing within two frames are collapsed so a ring hitting eight bullets is a bang rather than clipping. Every sound is triggered by a server event, never a local guess, so what you hear matches what happened. Audio was converted, not copied: the pack ships 24-bit/96kHz masters averaging 2MB. Downsampled to 16-bit/44.1kHz mono, silence-trimmed, and the shoot sound hard-capped to 0.30s -- it came out at 2.03s, against a fire cooldown of 0.12s, which would have smeared held fire into noise. tests/unit/test_art.gd checks what cannot be eyeballed here: every atlas rect lands inside its texture, every animation frame of a strip fits (the last frame is what runs off the sheet, not the first), there is a sprite per bullet kind and per enemy visual, and no sound is long enough to stack badly. A wrong atlas coordinate does not error -- it silently draws the wrong pixels. Licence sources recorded in docs/ASSETS.md now that they are known. All four are free versions and four rows still say "confirm at source": free itch packs vary on credit and commercial use, and there is no credits screen yet. 155 tests (was 146). check.sh, test.sh and smoke.sh pass.
Transcience
Top-down twin-stick bullet-hell with a dedicated, server-authoritative backend. Godot 4.7, GDScript, no external runtime dependencies.
Play
tools/server.sh # dedicated server on :27015
tools/client.sh --join --name ada # connect a client
Or run one client and press Host and play for a listen server.
Controls — WASD move, mouse aim, LMB fire, E on the ring in the hub to enter a dungeon, hold F for three seconds to escape back to the hub.
Develop
tools/check.sh # parse-check every script ~5s
tools/test.sh # GUT suite, headless ~2s
tools/smoke.sh # server + 2 bot clients, ENet ~35s
godot --headless --path . --script tools/bench.gd
Read CLAUDE.md first — it is short, and the Godot CLI gotchas in it will otherwise cost an afternoon.
What is here
| Twin-stick bullet hell | Server-simulated bullet field, ~350 concurrent bullets at 0.24 ms/tick. |
| Authoritative multiplayer | Clients send input only. Hits, damage, death and instance transfers are server decisions. Prediction + reconciliation for the local player. |
| Enemies | Four readable behaviours (static, drift, orbit, approach, strafe) composed with bullet emitters. |
| Boss | The Warden of the Fold: stationary, four phases, each adding one idea. Defined entirely as data. |
| Lobby hub | Shared persistent instance with a portal into dungeon runs. |
| Emergency escape | Three-second channel back to the hub, cancelled by damage. |
