 ==== Blood Carnage (Level) ====
 Shot strength and properties are determined by a "three-tier" meter called the Blood Carnage meter (or Blood Level). The player starts at Lv.1, gains a level with every full bar of Blood collected, and loses a level with every hit of damage taken, or with every hyper used. When the player is knocked down to Lv.0, any following hit becomes fatal, causing the player to lose a Heart.
-* If the player earns another bar while carrying 3 Blood levels stocked, they will enter a temporary fourth state called Lv.OVER, where the handguns' fire rate increases beyond its normal speed until the Blood Carnage meter empties.

At the same time, The Sorceress will find herself chased down by the reaper known as '''Death''', as she attempts to take the soul of The Sorceress and drag her back down to Hell with her. "Bullet" travels through many locales of the isle of '''Gunsylvania''', eliminating demons, ghouls and other assorted creatures that have taken comfort in her home since her banishment.

-Enemies and objects destroyed by Carnage Trigger will drop Skulls, with Skull-type enemies dropping three times as many Skulls when killed. If the player has collected +3000pts of Skulls, all Skull drops become high-value Jackpot Skulls. Additionally, the Laser Cannon (A) creates an instant hitbox that destroys enemy bullets, and the Megaton Gun (C) fires giant projectiles that cover the screen with high-damage firepower.
 Carnage Trigger requires at least a Lv.1 Blood Carnage meter, and spends 1 Level to activate. When activated, the player is invulnerable for 60 frames. If the player takes damage or uses a Revenge Trigger, the hyper mode is canceled early. Once Carnage Trigger is activated, the Skull Value of small Skulls no longer increases, locking their score value to whatever they were before the player activated hyper.
