You are the Dæmon and beside you is your loyal sub-routine Bit. Together you are an elite hacker duo with a secret weapon, the polarity shift. The net has two competing signal types, but the polarity shift lets you align with one frequency completely rendering yourself invincible to its attacks. But you're still very visible, and vulnerable, to the other frequency.

Today you find an access node to one of the most lucrative zones guarded by an elite security drone. Whoever is guarding this area doesn't want visitors, which means whatever is on the other side is worth everything. Utilize your powerful polarity shift and your pal Bit to conquer the security drone and break through!

Null Session draws inspiration from the classic bullet hell game Ikaruga among a long list of others : ) Dodge, weave, and shift your way to victory in this bullet-hell with a little invincible twist.  

How to Play:

Gameplay

To survive Null Session you must master your shield polarity. Shift your shield between white and black and make yourself completely invulnerable to projectiles of the matching color.

You aren't just invulnerable to bullets of your matching polarity, your trusty pal Bit can absorb them and store the energy to redirect towards your enemies.

Absorbing enough energy fills your Super Meter and once it's full unleash a devastating blast! Bit targets the boss for you, no aiming required!

To defeat the boss you must constantly be weighing your shield polarities and strategically charging into attacks to charge your super. Use your super to battle the boss through 3 challenging and dynamic phases. 

Challenge Mode

For an extra challenge, turn on Hardcore mode. In Hardcore mode, checkpoints are disabled. Failing the hacking sequence sends you all the way back to the beginning!
