HearthWound is a hand-crafted 2D bullet-hell boss rush where every fight is a focused test of timing, pattern mastery, and precision dodging, built by two friends who love designing challenging, expressive boss encounters.
No grinding. No filler. Just you, a wandering eye, and a series of handcrafted battles that reward patience, skill, and stubborn determination.
If you enjoy learning attack patterns, squeezing through pixel-tight dodges, and improving one attempt at a time, HearthWound delivers that satisfying “one more try” feeling in its purest form.
These GIFs show the core of HearthWound: readable patterns, clean telegraphs, tight dodges, and expressive boss design.
Every boss is manually designed with unique mechanics, clear telegraphs, and escalating pressure phases. No randomness — every pattern is intentional, learnable, and challenging.
Fast projectiles, tight iframe dodges, punish windows, and high-stakes duels define the combat. Your success comes from reading patterns and reacting with precision, not grinding stats.
Your main laser handles constant pressure, but your right-click Special Attack opens burst windows and counterplay moments.
Use Life Gain (R) mid-fight — if you dare. Healing creates openings but exposes you to risk.
Clear visuals, distinct rhythms, and intentional pacing help you survive even when the arena overflows with bullets.
If you take a hit, you’ll know exactly why — and how to avoid it next time.
HearthWound is built by two indie developers who grew up loving boss fights. Every pattern, sound, and visual cue is crafted with attention and heart.
We’re actively working on:
new bosses with unique mechanics
more arenas and pressure phases
improved telegraphs and visual clarity
better dodging, hitboxes, and i-frames
additional movement and combat options
