Advent NEON

Hyperactive 2D platformer beat-em-up made by a solo developer!

This game takes inspiration from many titles (such as Super Smash Bros. for the combat),  but removes the limiters on the speed of those experiences! With simple inputs ( Move! Jump! Dash! Attack! That's it!) with incredibly versatile applications, this game is built for anyone to enjoy, with nuance that the fastest and most technical of players will get a kick out of! 

You're put into the shoes of Neon, a Synthezoid who was created to fight against divided, robotic world.  Synthezoids are androids who cannot be controlled by others, and wield power far greater than that of most robots. Humans in this world either control the robots (therefore the society) of their Territory, or are simply outcasts, left to fend for themselves during the next technological conflict, and Neon is the answer to "the next conflict". 

Neon is as fast as YOU make him! He can dash at supersonic speeds in all 8 cardinal directions,  twice! There is no double tapping a button to make sure you attack faster. You will attack twice, on the dot.* 

If you're familiar with fighting games, take your understanding of frame data and throw it out the window, because this game lets you cancel virtually everything into EVERYTHING! Make your own combos! Hit and run! Hit with the same move over and over! Unleash a barrage of punches like it's an anime reference! Teleport behind the enemy and end them with a charge attack! 

No preset combos to remember no waiting for animations to finish**, just hit and don't get hit and you'll win regardless of your playstyle!

*You have to actually land your attacks though.  **Maybe SOME waiting, occasionally.  DISCLAIMER: Playing this game at its fastest potential may make you impatient when playing mechanically similar games.
