Advent NEON

Advent NEON is an exhilarating, fast-paced 2D action platformer that draws inspiration from classic games like Sonic.

Engage in intense combat against robot cops by chaining high-speed punches, dashes, and combos. When you think your enemies have the upper hand, use your dash ability to freeze time, outmaneuver them, and deliver a satisfying counterstrike!

As you reach 100% of your power, experience a transformation that amplifies your abilities to an unstoppable force. AdventNEON focuses on vibrant visuals, responsive mechanics, and freedom in gameplay. With simple yet customizable controls, fluid movement options, and lightning-fast combat, the game encourages you to jump in and have fun anytime. The aim is to make the experience so enjoyable that you can dive into it repeatedly, no matter the time.

The game is heavily influenced by the titles and characters I cherished growing up, so you’ll likely notice some familiar elements throughout.

In AdventNEON, you control Neon, a special android who can harness Resonance energy to gain incredible power. The more damage Neon dishes out, the stronger they become, creating an unstoppable force of devastation. However, there’s a catch: Neon’s power can only be sustained by avoiding damage—taking hits will weaken them. While incredibly fast and powerful, Neon can only maintain peak strength by staying in control of the flow of battle.

By fully managing the Resonance flow, Neon can transform and unleash their ultimate potential. Become faster, stronger, brighter, and even greener as you leave everything in your wake, struggling to keep up.

Fans of Celeste will love Neon’s dash mechanic, which allows you to dash twice. Dash through enemies, counterattack, and perform advanced techniques like wavedash jump cancels™ to navigate the battlefield.

If you enjoy platform fighters, you’ll appreciate Neon’s full directional move set, with the added thrill of launching enemies offscreen for a satisfying explosive KO.

Combat in AdventNEON offers complete freedom, letting you cancel actions into each other to create your own combos. Hit, stun, and run as you build momentum. Start with a dash, unleash a rapid combo of punches, freeze time, or take out enemies with repeated dashes. Teleport behind your foes and finish them off with a powerful Break attack!

No need to memorize complicated combo routes—just keep hitting and avoiding damage, and you’ll succeed no matter your style of play!
