Ad Shoot

Ad Shoot is a bullet-hell shooter in which the protagonist enters a game to shoot down advertisements after growing tired of unavoidable double ads before videos. Completing every stage promises an ad-free experience for a while, though the story asks whether it is really that simple.

Story and bosses

Bosses represent advertisers from fictional companies and attack with bullet-hell advertisements based on their products. The objects resembling hamburgers, cars and realtors are advertisements, not actual food, vehicles or people.

Stages and difficulty

The main game has six stages, each with three difficulty levels. An extra stage has six variations, each with unique dialogue and ending illustrations, making seven stages in all. Easy mode is available, and you can increase the number of continues in the settings. The protagonist’s life is measured by an HP gauge, allowing you to take more hits than it may seem.

Skills and score attack

Defeating bosses earns skills that you can use in subsequent stages. Pausing your shots instead of shooting down advertisements can also be beneficial. Score Attack features global rankings categorized by difficulty, with Hard mode scores competing for the top position.
