"Geballer is a bullet-hell game where players exclusively use their mouse to dodge various types of bullets in Linear and Loop mode. The game also features a mysterious REDACTED mode and a level editor for creating and sharing custom levels. Players can choose to play fair or use the editor to cheat and unlock achievements quickly."
