Solo developer Retchy announced that hand-drawn bullet hell shooter, ZOE Begone!, is launching for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S on September 17th. Inspired by the drawn-on-film style of animation from the 1930s, ZOE BEGONE! puts you in the shoes of Zoe, a film-strip heroine caught fighting endless waves of The Animator’s creations. In classic shoot ‘em up fashion, you can expect to run-and-gun at a frenetic pace, clearing waves of enemies and dodging projectiles. You will also pick-up upgrades and new weapons amidst the chaos in the form of Apples, which give you a boost as you chase high scores on the online leaderboards across three game modes – Arcade, Time Attack, and Frame Trap.
A free demo for ZOE Begone! is available now on Steam, and you can check out the new release date trailer below. I’m digging the art style and premise; I just wonder if my old eyes can keep up with the chaos.
