About This Game

Test your limits in ITTA, a bullet-hell, boss-rush style adventure. Armed with her father’s revolver and guided by a strange ghostly cat, a displaced girl must battle her way through impossible trials in search of answers… and peace.

In this game, you can…

  • …fight only bosses, one after another, with no regular enemies in between.
  • …charge a power state by grazing bullets, then trigger invincibility and damage boosts when you need a swing moment.
  • …die and sometimes get a short story cutscene that reveals more of the hero's thoughts.
