A small request from us (and many other bullet-heaven / VS-like devs!)
The community is rallying to help get the “Bullet Heaven” Steam tag officially recognized - something that would benefit all games in the genre, including ours.
There’s a super quick 10-second anonymous survey you can fill out to support the effort:

If you want a quick overview of why this matters, here’s a short explainer video (Jotunnslayer even makes an appearance!):
