.Decluster (dot decluster) is a vertically scrolling 2D shooter game (shmup). The controls you need are just two. To move your ship and to fire the homing laser. Because it is designed for mobile devices, you can control easily on the iPhone / iPad.
Slide your finger anywhere on the screen to move your ship. The relative touch movement is adopted. And tap second finger to fire the homing laser. Basic shots are automatic.
The homing laser is powerful activity and is also a key to surviving. The homing laser requires the gauge of it at least 1 Lv. The moment the homing laser was fired, bullets around your ship are canceled and get cancel bonuses. This is so important. Don't forget it.
The player's unhitting box is very small. It is displayed as a white rectangle in the center of the ship. And when a lot of bullets appear, the game-speed gets slowdown. Therefor you can keep surviving more than meets the eye.
Four different difficulties. From beginner to expert. The novice difficulty has some benefits from the start. Extra options and extra lives. If you are beginner fun of shooter, the novice difficulty is a good choice.
In the settings, you can adjust the size of game view and you can also adjust the touch sensitivity for slide control. If it is hard to see the screen because of your finger, or you have incongruous with the slide control, then try to adjust them.
From version 2.0.1, the boss battle mode was added.

Community Insight:
But perfect stage 4 makes us want to cry.
Really good game fun and addicting but sometimes the controls will glitch and teleport you to the bottom of the screen please fix this developer.
Can't get enough of this game! Music, the levels, the bosses, and the most important, bullet hell madness.
Fell in love with Do-Don-Pachi series and finally a game that just simply rocks! Both the versions are worth it. This is one killer shmup game.
Shmup featuring great design, spot-on controls, and challenging gameplay.
It's a great game we have played in a while. But it always crashes after we finish level 4.
This game has style in spades. It's fun, addictive, & slick as hell. Speaking of, it's one of the better bullet hell games out there. Best part, no IAP BS.
Space cadet is better than this, and its free.
This is a really great bullet hell shooter. It's got all the features we really like in an iOS bullet hell game, such as multiple difficulty levels that actually make a difference, adjustable gameplay area, adjustable control sensitivity, great music, very interesting bullet patterns, and Game Center support. And it's got a unique look. A must for any bullet hell fan. Thanks for the new novice difficulty level and everyplay integration.
Bullet Heaven Blues When you tap on that App(le) icon Masayuki Ito has some awesome treats for you. 4rm the dazzling animations to his ears to keep you nodding your head or neck snappin (we plugged it up to our JVC Black Monster) for new Soundcloudscapes this Artist has sculpted some digital poetry for us. His new update has us runnin to our Everyplaystation as we spe.
Definitely one of the better bullet hell shooters on the App Store. Highly recommend.
This game is a very nicely done abstract shoot'em up that's has the same vibe as the game Noiz2sa or RRootage. The game uses relative touch and the dev put in lots of options to customize the controls and even change screen sizes. GameCenter has now been implemented with achievements. You can tell a lot of thought went into this. We definitely recommend it. There is NO IAP nor any ads. Please support this dev. We can't tell you how fun this game really is.
.Decluster is easily the best "bullet hell" shooter on iOS. If you're a fan of shmups, you owe it to yourself to click "buy.".
Very stylish and imaginative bullet hell game. An insta-buy you won't soon delete.
