Publisher Armor Games Studios and developer Glass Revolver recently announced their beautiful pixel-art world and frantic bullet hell gameplay of ITTA. The game featuring a little girl and a dead cat was born from developer Jacob Williams’ own life experiences and invites players to fight for survival in a world where themes of despair live alongside those of hope, beauty, and compassion.
I started designing ITTA in late December 2016 while staying in a psych ward. I was at the lowest point of my life. ‘Itta’ is Japanese for ‘gone’. It was to be a bleak, depressing game, with no hint of levity or hope
-Jacob Williams
ITTA is a boss-rush style bullet hell title
That follows a young girl, armed with her father’s revolver and guided by a ghostly cat. Itta explores a strange world inhabited by powerful cosmic beings – in search of answers, and peace. Players must seek out the powerful beings locked away beneath this seemingly peaceful world and go toe-to-toe against them in harrowing battles. From hulking ancient golems to toothy horrors, Itta’s journey will push both you and her past their limits.
Survive, No Matter What
Although she begins with only a revolver, as Itta explores, she can unlock a new arsenal of weapons that play in different ways. Detonate bombs to shower the battlefield with projectiles, or aim for the slower but more potent firepower of the cannon, to name a few. Whatever you choose, you’ll need to learn when to dodge and when to strike back if Itta is to stand a chance of surviving against 18 different, disturbing bosses. But no matter what happens, Itta must keep going. And so must you.
