Gameplay
[edit]In Disc Room, the player navigates a series of labyrinthine rooms while avoiding bullet hell-style projectiles. Each room has its own patterns but is not predictable between rooms.[1] Aside from surviving a set period of time, objectives of these rooms also include solving various puzzles with projectiles, dying from different types of projectiles and unlocking more rooms. The player can customize themselves with various abilities such as a clone of the player character to shield against mortal damage as well as slowing time to their favor, while collectibles are available in levels.[2]
