About Hellbrella
Hellbrella thrusts you into a frantic aerial roguelite where a rain‑coat‑clad cat wields an umbrella as its only weapon. Fast, aggressive combos are required to survive endless swarms of demonic eyes across ever‑deeper stages.
The game offers five distinct umbrellas, over sixty upgrades, and a resource called Blood Drops to shape each run. Single‑player scores feed into Steam Leaderboards, letting you compare your performance with the global community.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Combat & Umbrella Weapons
Combat revolves around aerial hack‑and‑slash attacks, with the umbrella delivering melee swings that can be chained into combos. Staying aggressive is essential to avoid death against dense enemy groups.
Five unique umbrellas each provide a different attack pattern, encouraging players to experiment with timing and positioning to discover which style best fits their preferred aggression.
- Try each umbrella early in a run to feel its swing rhythm.
- Observe enemy approach angles; aggressive combos often clear groups faster.

Upgrade System
More than sixty upgrades can be collected during a run, transforming your playstyle for that attempt.
Collecting Pupils unlocks twelve permanent upgrades that persist between runs, while Blood Drops serve as a resource to intensify your current build within a single attempt.
- Focus on upgrades that complement your chosen umbrella’s strengths.
- Consider reserving Blood Drops for later stages where enemies become denser.
03 / THE GUIDE
Difficulty & Progression
Adjustable Difficulty lets you set a challenge level that matches your skill, while the roguelite structure restarts the run after each death. Deeper descent into Hell demands increasingly aggressive tactics.
Progress is measured by how far you advance before succumbing to endless swarms of demonic eyes, with each stage packed with enemies to overcome.
- Begin on a lower difficulty to learn enemy patterns before raising the challenge.
- Master aerial movement early to handle tougher later stages.

Leaderboards & Records
Steam Leaderboards record your scores, providing a benchmark for personal improvement and global competition.
Chasing higher scores encourages refinement of combo timing and upgrade choices, as each element directly impacts survivability and damage output.
- Review top leaderboard runs to spot effective combo routes.
- Prioritize consistent survival over risky high‑damage maneuvers.

Hellbrella runs on Windows and includes Full Controller support, covering DualShock and DualSense devices, alongside a Keyboard Only Option for players who prefer keyboard input.
