Low-Score is a fast paced arcade, bullet-hell game created for the GMTK game jam 2026.  You gain points each round by hitting balls. The twist is that your scores round on round must COUNTDOWN, meaning you must always score less than the previous round. 

Each round balls will be added to your bag that make it harder to score less. Between each round you can purchase balls in the shop to help scoring lower easier. You buy these balls with your score from the previous round however, meaning you must then score even lower. 

Will you risk buying all the balls or cling onto your points?

Post your high score in the comments!

CONTROLS:

Movement - WASD/Arrowkeys/Controller Left Stick

*The game works in level using a controller but you'll need to use a mouse to advance through levels and in the shop.

The idea of ​​getting a lower score each time – that’s cool! A small feedback mechanism is that players can stay close to the edge of the screen to avoid hitting the marble; perhaps adding some vibration around the screen would increase the difficulty Really cool game (o^^o) If you have time, I’d love to hear your feedback on our game too
