General Information
UPDATE!: NEW POST-SAGE DEMO IS NOW LIVE! DOWNLOAD IT BY CLICKING HERE!
(The older SAGE2020 [REV-001] demo is still available as an attached zip file next to this post. However, download the postSAGE.zip, or click the link above to get the latest version.)
AdventNEON is a solo-developed passion project meant to combine a ton of the inspirations I've had growing up into a single character and game.
With a focus on accessible, yet nuanced mechanics, speed, flash and tons of immediate power scaling, this game's meant to make anyone feel incredible as they tear through the opposition!
If you've enjoyed any of Sonic the Hedgehog, Megaman, Super Smash Bros and Celeste, I highly recommend trying this game out!
CONTROLS
(Configure keyboard or gamepad controls in the options menu.)
[Action]: [Keyboard input] -- [Gamepad input]
Move: WSAD/Arrows -- Left Stick/D-Pad
Jump: Space/C -- Bottom Face/Left Bumper
Punch: P/Z -- Left Face/Right Face + Direction
Dash: O/X -- Top Face/Right Bumper + Direction
Break Attack: Hold Dash + Press Punch + Direction (Can also be done with the Right Stick on Gamepad.)
"Tap up to Jump" can be set.
Gamepad Stick Deadzone can be set between 10% and 85% of the gate radius.
To ensure your gamepad controls are working, you can open a Visualizer for your inputs by going to Options -> Video -> Display Inputs. These show the realtime inputs from your controller regardless of what else is happening ingame.
MECHANICS
Directional Attacks - Similar to platform fighters, you get an entire moveset of grounded and aerial moves that change with the held direction!
Attack Chaining/Canceling - Ever play Turbo Mode in Smash Bros? Basically, land an attack and you can cancel into whatever the heck else you want.
Directional Dashing - Ever play Celeste? Like its dash? Cool! You get two of them here, and you can use them to dodge attacks or travel in any cardinal direction, grounded or in the air. (Yes there's wavedashing for those who want it) Timing a dash with an enemy's attack lets you dodge it and freeze time!
Break Attacks - Strong attacks that use up one of your dash charges; use these to break through enemy armor and counter their attacks, stunning them.
Nodes - The green spinning Doritos floating around. Collect 10 of them and recover a health point!
Resonance %- A scaling damage/speed buff that ranges from 0-100%. Hit enemies and collect Nodes to maintain this buff and absolutely snowball in power. The catch? This completely wears off if you get hit. Don't get hit. Don't wait around. Get in there and smack stuff around and you'll be handsomely rewarded!
INSTALLATION
