Jolt: Fully Charged (Demo Version)
About
A demo version of Darkera Studio's first independent video game, Jolt: Fully Charged.
Preface
Made in the image of 16-bit era platformers, Jolt: Fully Charged puts you in control of the titular automaton Jolt and his sparky companion, Cycle, each with a similar, but distinct playstyle.
In this demo, you'll dash through 1 stage each from the first 3 levels of the game; Acropolis Assault, Lost Lagoon, and Brazen Battery. Each level, pulled from the main game, has been fine-tuned to allow players to ease into the gameplay.
Gameplay
As stated above, Jolt: Fully Charged is made in the image of 16-bit era platformers, and functions the way you would expect it to. Your goal is to reach the end of each level, defeat the boss, and continue onto the next stage.
Where things differ, however, is Jolt's ability to become intangible and phase through enemies with his signature Bolt Dash. Combined with his wall jump and double jump, the player has many different approaches to situations they'll encounter.
You collect various power ups, such as the Dash Shield, which gives you new abilities such as double-dash, item magnetism, or even the ability to glide. Explore and find them all! (And yes, all powerups are in the demo!)
Features and Coming Soon
Here is what is coming in the launch of the main game:
10+ Large Levels, each with their own challenges.
Fast-paced platforming with an emphasis on aerial control and momentum.
A similar, but distinct, playstyle for all playable characters. (Yes, we said characters.)
Additional gameplay modes, including alternate story modes (complete with playable characters), and a time attack mode unlockable after completing the game!
Jolt: Fully Charged is slated to be released in September of 2018 (Next Month)!
The main game itself is nearly completed. But before we release the game, we want to know what you have to think about it. Are there things that need to be tweaked? Gameplay quirks that need adjusting? Or perhaps there's some nasty glitches that need stamping out before launch? We want to hear from you!
Please, enjoy our demo!
