Gameplay
Bite the Bullet is a platform game in which players control a mercenary with the ability to consume enemies and parts of the environment. As the player progresses through the game, they are given the option to upgrade their character's attributes and abilities, such as the ability to freeze attacking enemies, via several diet-based skill trees and character classes. For example, the vegan Slaughterer of the Soil skill tree can only consume plants, while Gorivores can eat meat-based enemies and food objects.
During a level, players can either destroy enemies outright with their weapons, or stun them and eat them. Combat becomes a series of trade-offs, as killing enemies outright is quicker and easier, while stunning and consuming them is more dangerous, as it leaves the player exposed to other threats while eating. Eating enemies, however, is necessary for the game's other systems.
