Heya, wltr3565 here. As it had been revealed before, Hell Blasters has “Journalist Mode”. In the simplest terms it’s the game’s Novice Mode. How easy it is varies from title to title. It is also literally a mode to cater to the journalists. I mean, they’re busy. To properly review the game, they need to clear it at least once, right? A very easy good ending to get!
The name isn’t just for that sake, though. It’s also relevant to the game’s story. How? It will be on a later devlog, but you’ll want to remember why it’s named Journalist mode.
Further Look
The thing is making the easiest mode by reducing the amount of bullets will render the game’s title pretty moot… Without any hell to blast then this game can’t be called “Hell Blasters”! But buffing the ships will make it hard to transition to harder difficulties. So what should I do…?
There are yellow bullets, so let’s make the mode full of them!
Looks pretty exciting for a Novice Mode, isn’t it? Yellow bullets are treated as popcorn enemies, actually, so their destruction with even normal shots do add up to the Chain counter. See how high you can score in this mode!
How easy is the mode in action, though? Here’s a hint: Try keep pressing the shot button and don’t move for even a pixel. See how far can you go! Don’t worry. There is auto bomb available on Journalist Mode.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned on next Wednesday for the next devlog!
