Iwate Mountain Dance

Iwate Mountain Dance is a bullet-hell boss fighter set in the lands of Iwate. You face handcrafted, multi-stage bosses, learn their attack patterns and explore the region to discover its history.

Combat and bosses

The fights combine screen-filling bullet patterns with the fast-paced action of platformers. You need both strategy and quick reactions as you contend with attacks ranging from single-target strikes to spells that fill the screen with danger. Each boss has distinct patterns and multiple high-intensity spellcards, culminating in a unique final spellcard.

A compact challenge

The game takes place in a densely packed area, with new fights at every turn rather than a sprawling open world. There is no grinding or leveling up; each boss tests what you have learned as a player. The spirits of the land have their own stories, which you uncover as you learn to read their attacks.
