- Fixed the Options bug. Check the devlog.
Step into the universe of CyberShift, a challenging 2D action platformer set within a vibrant, neon-infused cybernetic world. Here, your agility, precision, and strategic thinking are your only allies in overcoming the relentless challenges that lie ahead.
You'll take the helm of one of three cybernetic heroes, each with their own unique abilities. Harness the power of the Dash, swift and deadly, to cut through enemies and traverse vast spaces. Master the art of Teleportation, defying both space and time, to evade obstacles and assailants. Or wield the Gravity Vortex, bending the very laws of physics to attract or repel objects and adversaries.
An intriguing feature in the later stages of the game is the Auto Switching ability. This mechanic allows you to simultaneously control all three characters, switching between them automatically, thus adding another layer of strategy and complexity to the game. Your ability to swiftly adapt to each character's unique skills and optimally utilize them in unison will be the key to conquering these advanced levels.
Dive into the main storyline, a linear sequence of hand-crafted levels that will test your platforming prowess and ability to adapt to the unique skills of your chosen character. Alternatively, step into the arena mode, where relentless waves of enemies and ever-evolving challenges await. Here, your ability to strategize and utilize your unique abilities will be pushed to its absolute limit.
Experience intense high-speed gameplay that blends perfectly with a pulse-pounding synth-wave soundtrack. Engage in an adrenaline-fueled sprint through shifting platforms, lethal traps, and insidious AI. As you progress, you'll unlock new abilities and upgrades, helping you survive the increasing challenges and beat the growing complexity of the digital labyrinth.
The game's main menu mimics an old-school terminal interface, bringing a nostalgic yet immersive touch to the game's retro-futuristic aesthetic. Need HELP? Feel free to ask the terminal. This "AI"-powered interface is more than ready to assist you, providing guidance and subtle hints to overcome the challenges ahead.
