About Berry
Berry is a short orthogonal 3D platformer that blends light bullet‑hell challenges with precise projectile manipulation via a web‑orbiting system. Players guide a tiny spider up Yamakuu mountain, navigating over 50 maps while fighting bosses and collecting hidden flies.
The game features a Metroidvania‑style progression, multiple endings based on fly consumption, and new shop and shield mechanics added after its Steam release. Full controller support and an options menu are included, and the game controls can be referenced from the pause menu.
01 / THE GUIDE
Map Exploration
The world of Berry contains more than 50 distinct maps spread across four terrain types. Maps present platforming sections and bullet‑hell obstacles, with flies hidden throughout the world to discover.
Exploration rewards players with flies and NOMI, the currency used in terrain‑specific shops. The number of flies collected influences which of the five standard endings the player receives.
- Take time to scan each map for subtle fly silhouettes.
- Compare terrain layouts to anticipate where shops may appear.
02 / THE GUIDE
Shop System
Four terrain‑based shops are scattered throughout the game. Each shop sells items that add combat, cosmetic, or utility capabilities, purchasable with NOMI collected from the world.
Visiting a shop unlocks new abilities that can affect how the spider handles projectiles or shields, expanding the player’s tactical options.
- Check each shop’s inventory before spending NOMI.
- Note which items enhance shield usage versus combat.

03 / THE GUIDE
Shield Mechanics
A shield system has been added, allowing players to use shields as extra health. Shields can also be disposed of in ways that generate additional NOMI.
Managing shields becomes a strategic choice: keep them for survivability or trade them for currency to purchase shop items.
- Experiment with discarding shields when NOMI is low.
- Balance shield health against the need for shop purchases.
04 / THE GUIDE
Fly Collection
Twenty flies are hidden throughout the game world. Collecting flies not only contributes to the ending outcome but also powers up the spider’s abilities.
The more flies consumed, the stronger the spider becomes, influencing combat effectiveness and the narrative conclusion.
- Prioritize areas with dense enemy clusters for hidden flies.
- Observe how ability strength scales after each fly.
05 / THE GUIDE
Multiple Endings
Berry offers five standard endings determined by the number of flies collected and consumed. A sixth true ending exists, requiring additional undisclosed conditions.
Players can influence the story’s resolution by adjusting their approach to fly consumption, ranging from restraint to aggressive collection.
- Track your fly count to anticipate which ending you’re heading toward.
- Consider replaying to explore the true ending after meeting the extra conditions.
