## Gameplay

Heavy Bullets is a first-person shooter video game. The player character is armed with a pistol and a low amount of ammunition which can be retrieved upon firing.[1] The player's objective is to battle through 8 levels and reset a security mainframe.[1][2][3] Levels are procedurally generated.[1] Killing enemies rewards the player with money which can be used to purchase usable and passive items.[1] Upon death the player will not respawn, a new play-through must be started.[4] Money can be deposited in a bank and will carry over to the next play-through, the player can also purchase insurance to save money and items if they die.[1][2][4]

Vellman originally began working on the title as part of a game jam.[4][5] The game uses the Unity engine.[5] Music and sound was composed by American rapper Doseone.[5] An early access build of the game launched on Steam on 15 May 2014.[5] The full version of the game was released on 18 September 2014.[6]
