About the Danmaku Maker trial

Danmaku Maker is a game where you build bullet-hell (danmaku) stages and play each other’s. This page is a browser trial of the iPhone and iPad game Danmaku Maker. Nothing to install, no sign-up.

How to play

Drag anywhere on the screen and your ship moves by the same amount (relative movement, so your finger never hides the ship). On a keyboard, use the arrow keys; hold Shift to move slowly. One hit and you lose. Survive stages are cleared by lasting until the timer ends; boss stages by chipping the boss’s HP to zero with auto-fire.

How to build

Tap “Build a stage” and place up to 8 emitters (the things that fire bullets). Choose a pattern (ring, aimed or rain) and the bullet count, speed, interval, angle and color, and a preview shows the motion. Then clear it yourself in a test play: only stages you have cleared can be shared by link.

The math behind the three patterns is explained, with live demos, in how bullet-hell patterns work.

FAQ

Is it free?

Yes. This trial is free and shows no ads. The app is free too, with one-time purchases for extra patterns and looks.

Where are my stages saved?

Only in this browser. Nothing is sent to a server. Clearing your browser’s site data removes them. To give a stage to someone, send the share link.

How is the trial different from the app?

In the trial you build with three patterns (ring, aimed, rain) and share stages by link. The app adds publishing to the world, world stages, rankings and boss rush, and many more patterns.

Does it work on phones?

Yes, in the browser on phones and computers.
