PROJECTIONS
[PROJECT YOURSELF]
Take control of Vision and five other CONCEPTS to unveil Aranactha and understand the meaning of change. PROJECTIONS is an action arcade experience unlike any other, and to do your best, you’ll have to learn to speak its language:
- Approach your limits by mastering control of Projection Combat and Perfect Dodges
- Achieve high scores as you enter FOCUS Mode and push the boundaries of your mind
- Realize the events that lead to the creation of this unstable universe
[NO LIMITS]
Dimensions in PROJECTIONS are procedurally generated and endless in number, created by Aranactha as you seek their location in an attempt to reveal the nature of this new and chaotic universe. Defeat waves of enemies to perfect your skills and get closer to Aranactha – their awareness of your presence scales the game’s difficulty, so the better you do, the harder it gets, and the higher your score.
[A WOLFGUN ONLY ZONE]
PROJECTIONS has been developed by, and features original art, animations and sounds entirely by Wolfgun, along with a giant OST of over 30 original tracks. Explore ten years of Wolfgun’s musical journey through inspired visuals, aesthetics, characters and bosses as you realize the truth: I AM EVERYTHING, AND EVERYTHING IS ME.

TLDR; If you're interested, try the demo. It'll tell you more than I can in a review.
If you like Wolfgun's music, you'll probably gel well with this game. It's a peculiarly beautiful game about getting plucked out of your starship and being thrust into endless battle against starborn creatures from before time by an omnipresent godlike entity.
There is no failure in this game, nor death, as those concepts weren't a good fit for this reality.
I love this game's simple controls and quite deceptively deep combo and scoring system. If you take a hit in anything but the final fight of a run your score will be halved, but if you Perfect Dodge, your combo multiplier goes up, and you deal damage to enemies around you. Imperfect Dodges are still important for avoiding damage if you care about score. I think my highest score as of writing this review is somewhere around 231 million. Shit adds up fast if you're gunning for it.
Each run (so far) has a different character, or 'Concept' as Tutorial Wolfgun put it. I haven't gotten to use all of them yet, but so far some have better combo potential than others. You get a primary fire button, secondary fire button, dodge, and movement keys with an infinite jump (sometimes a descend key). It's got simple controls and it's complex to master, similar to my other favorite simplistic arcade platformer, Rain World. Combat is a conversation, this game encourages you to listen to audio cues and respond confidently to them with Perfect Dodges (PDs) and your own attacks. This gives the game a noticeable ebb and flow, unless you're in FOCUS mode. Focus mode is an intense gamut of constant enemies and attacks.
It's definitely worth the $13 USD, as it's basically like buying a wolfgun album with a game attached to it. If you're not sure, though, get it if it goes on sale. Oh yeah. Turn down your game audio from your volume manager. There's none built into the game, which is certainly a choice, and this game can get really loud in the cutscenes and boss fights.

Great first impressions. Felt like I was playing Keita Takahashis LSD retrowave nightmare in all the best ways. Wish there was options to lower the music in exchage for enemy soundcues but I think I'll manage regardless.

Pretty fun and simple (in a good way) gameplay with an absolute banger soundtrack from Wolfgun. Not that I could expect anything less from their music. The demo is at least worth a try.

This great album comes with a free game. Now if only I could tell what's real...

transcendent beauty in the form of a video game.

This is such a weird game hahaha! I'm intrigued though and would definitely like to play more when I can properly invest in it :D
