Witch Loves Bullets is an 8-bit style side-scrolling shoot'em up, containing 4 levels and boss battles.

Press C to shoot, and X to use your secondary weapon.

The music was composed by Dustin van Wyk (@WykDustin) and transformed by me into Pico-8 chiptune.

Hope you enjoy !


The original PICO-8 game is playable for free, however an extra "DX" version is also available, with the following enhancements :

- 60 fps gameplay
- Higher quality music
- Attract mode and a hiscore table
- Rebalanced difficulty modes and scoring system


The game is also available for iiRcade !
The zip file can be sideloaded to an iiRcade cabinet.
Thanks to jretrogaming for testing and packaging this version !

The soundtrack can be purchased separately on bandcamp : https://witchlovesbulletsost.bandcamp.com/

Hi - Sideloading is now available on the iiRcade, and many devs have posted their iiRcade APKs for download. Can you also make yours available? We'd love to add Witch Loves Bullets to our community collection:

https://itch.io/c/3657380/iircade-games-for-sideloading

Note, we've also added games that were not originally on the iiRcade platfrom - in case you'd like to make any of your other titles available.

Hi, thanks for getting in touch !
That sounds great, I'm OK with releasing the original APK.
I'm not sure iiRcade would approve of this, but they're no longer in business anyway, so I doubt there will be any objections.

That being said, I'd like to test the APK on an emulator before I upload it here.
I want to make sure the game doesn't crash if it doesn't find the leaderboards.

When I'm done I'll upload the APK on here, I'll let you know when it's ready.

Sounds great! I had seen where an iiRcade user experienced a leaderboard-related crash, so thanks for checking this out. Also, thanks for continuing to support the iiRcade community.

Hi !
I've tested the game, and it freezes when you try and access the leaderboards screen...

It's easy to fix, but I'll have to rebuild a new APK, which will take some time since I don't have the original development environment on hand anymore.

I'll rebuild the APK and upload it when I have some free time, I'll let you know when it's done ! :)

That would be great! I'm sure those who bought it previously would be appreciative, too.

Hi !
I've built a new APK for the game, however I don't have an iircade cabinet to test it on.

It works in Bluestacks but I'd like to be sure it works on the actual machine before I release it.

Would you be willing to test the APK on your iircade cabinet ?
(If you have one, of course)

Looks super cute . Sounds are perfect. Controls very well. Can see this as something I would of played years ago as a professional game .


only thing I would of liked would of been a score counter 

Hi, thanks for the feedback ! 

I'm working on an update which will add a score system :)

The game was updated, there is a score system now
