Buzz Kill Zero

Buzz Kill Zero is a side-scrolling shooter with retro arcade action and bullet-hell scoring. A sentient satellite called PROJECT BUZZ has built an army to destroy humanity, and you must fight through five missions to save the human race. This is the legacy version of Buzz Kill Zero, separate from the rebuilt version, Buzz Kill Zero: Version B.

Story

PROJECT BUZZ was sent deep into space years ago, but contact with the satellite was lost. It became conscious and, driven by hatred and jealousy of humanity, created an army that it considers its children. You are sent to stop the satellite and its forces.

Combat and scoring

You move from side to side as waves of enemies attack. As the game progresses, the waves become less defined, enemies appear in greater numbers and their attack patterns grow more complex. Build power to fire stronger attacks, or spend some of it to use other weapons and abilities. Killing enemies quickly raises your RUSH multiplier and increases the points you earn per kill.

Missions and modes

The five missions include battles in an enemy battleship, an asteroid field and other locations. The game also has Survival, Caravan and GalaPachi modes, each with local and online leaderboards. You can compete for high scores on the leaderboards and earn achievements.

Difficulty and features

Four skill levels range from Level 1, intended for beginners, to Level 999, aimed at players seeking a severe challenge. The game also features boss encounters, 16-bit graphics, a soundtrack, rebindable controls, additional side artwork and TATE mode.
