Short description

classical horizontal scroll 2D Shmup

About this game

*The DEMO version is under production and may differ from the product version. A horizontal scrolling shooter where you defeat enemies using BITs that can change attack direction. Defeat enemies to release energy items. Approach them to draw them in automatically, but releasing the attack button will also attract distant items. (The faster you collect them, the more points and energy you gain.) Once your energy gauge is full, Hyper mode becomes available. While Hyper is active, your ship’s shot changes to a powerful laser and enemy point values are doubled. BITs can also block pink enemy attacks during Hyper. Continuing to collect energy even further unlocks Double Hyper. in Double Hyper, homing shots are added to your arsenal and points are quadrupled. (Colliding your Hyper laser with a boss or large enemy’s laser creates a massive amount of energy items and deals heavy damage with powerful energy balls.) Medium and larger enemies offer a time bonus — the faster you defeat them, the higher the point multiplier. Combining this with Hyper multipliers allows for a maximum of 32x points. In boss battles, bosses release energy items every time they lose 1/4 of their health. The fewer seconds that have passed, the more items appear. Defeating them quickly also grants additional “Destruction Bonus Energy.” Clear a stage with no deaths to earn a NO MISS BONUS. The bonus doubles with each consecutive no-miss stage, and the final stage bonus is doubled again. 3 Game Modes × 2 Difficulties (NORMAL / HARD) NORMAL / HARD The Hyper gauge also functions as shield energy. At full gauge: NORMAL allows up to 6 hits, HARD allows up to 3 hits. In HARD mode, enemy attacks become more intense, but the number of energy items that appear is doubled (though each item provides half the energy). X-mode (X-NORMAL / X-HARD) You can hold up to 2 shields (1 on HARD). Even if you lose them upon taking damage, you can redeploy them by accumulating gauge after activating Hyper. Hitting enemies with shots outside of Hyper increases the gauge. Activating Hyper while holding a shield grants bonus points. VX-mode (VX-NORMAL / VX-HARD) Energy gain is 1.5× higher than other modes. You…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

VARYZNEX's USD price history spans from Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

VARYZNEX's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99, from Sep 25, 2026 through Sep 25, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records VARYZNEX at $4.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
