Atomanta

Atomanta is a retro-styled vertical shoot ’em up starring Taria Takara, a space pirate seeking a valuable artifact hidden on the planet Azavuraz. Flying the Atomic Manta warship, she aims to claim the bounty and pay off debts owed to her previous handlers. The game combines pixel art and synth music with fast bullet-hell combat, while a ranking system rewards aggressive play.

Stages and routes

Fight through 8 stages, with 4 alternate paths to discover. You can choose from 3 starting loadouts, find up to 15 secret weapons, and take on hard mode or uncover the hidden hyper mode.

Weapons and combat

At the start of a run, choose one of 3 starter weapons. Power-ups can upgrade weapons up to 3 times; special options let you swap weapons and set them to max power. Focus mode is tied to the rail gun and uses a laser sight to help line up shots.

Your ship has a small, glowing hitbox to make dodging easier, and it keeps its power-ups when destroyed. Bombs cancel bullets and deal heavy damage across the screen. Secret pickup options can upgrade bomb damage, but those upgrades do not carry over between stages. Ship speed and mobility increase gradually with difficulty.
