Advent NEON

Advent NEON is an action-packed 2D platformer designed to keep you on the edge of your seat, drawing inspiration from legendary games like Sonic.

Experience the thrill of taking down robot cops with lightning-fast combos and double dashes. When it feels like your enemies have the upper hand, activate your dash to freeze time, swiftly circle around them, and unleash a perfectly timed counterattack!

Once you reach full power, transform into an unstoppable force. Advent NEON focuses on vibrant visuals, fluid gameplay, and absolute freedom of movement. The game offers tight, customizable controls, fast-paced combat, and versatile movement, giving you the freedom to jump, dodge, and fight however you want. The goal is to make the game so enjoyable that you\'ll want to dive in anytime for a thrilling experience.

The game draws heavily from the titles and characters that shaped my childhood, so you’ll find familiar influences throughout.

In Advent NEON, you control Neon, a unique android capable of harnessing Resonance energy, allowing them to grow in power with every successful strike. The more damage Neon dishes out, the more powerful they become—turning into an unstoppable juggernaut. However, there\'s a catch: Neon can\'t retain this power if they take hits, and they can\'t withstand many attacks. Neon thrives on speed and power, but maintaining this strength requires constant momentum and the ability to avoid damage.

If you can sustain the Resonance flow, Neon will transform, unleashing their full potential—becoming faster, stronger, brighter, and more dangerous as they tear through everything in their path.

Fans of games like Celeste will love Neon’s ability to dash twice, making evasion and counterattacking a breeze. You can experiment with advanced moves like wavedash jumps, or just have fun with the fast-paced combat.

Platform fighter enthusiasts will find a rich directional moveset, with the ability to send enemies flying offscreen in satisfying, explosive KO moments.

The combat system is built for flexibility, allowing you to cancel almost any action into another. Build your own combos—dash in, punch, stun, and stop time. Use rapid dashes to overwhelm enemies, teleport behind them, and finish with a devastating Break attack!

Forget memorizing complex combo chains; simply hit hard, dodge, and keep up the attack to win—no matter your playstyle!
