Game Overview

Time X Drifter is an intense 2D action-platformer, blending fast-paced combat with strategic depth. Take control of three unique heroes: JJ, Melody, and Abdul, as they fight their way through a series of thrilling levels to dismantle the sinister organization T.H.E.M. The game showcases stunning pixel art alongside hand-drawn cutscenes, each frame meticulously crafted to bring depth and emotion to the story.

Features

• Side-Scrolling Action: Battle through carefully crafted levels filled with challenging enemies and intense boss fights.

• Three Playable Characters: Choose between JJ, Melody, and Abdul, each with unique abilities, attacks, and gameplay styles.

• Extensive Combat Mechanics: Utilize double jumps, dashes, and air combos in a freestyle combo system, combining normal and special attacks.

• Pixel Art Fusion: Immerse yourself in a game that seamlessly blends vibrant pixel art with detailed hand-animated cutscenes, highlighting our dedication to visual storytelling and rich, dynamic animation.

Gameplay & Mechanics

• Stage Styles: Run, jump, and blast your way through dynamic stages, including a thrilling hoverbike sequence.

• Freestyle Combat: Mix up normal and special attacks to unleash powerful combos. Each character brings their own style, whether it’s JJ’s rapid combo moves, Melody’s long-range attacks, or Abdul’s powerhouse punches.

• Fighting Styles: Choose from three distinct styles to match your playstyle:

  • Balanced Style: A well-rounded choice for beginners. Getting damaged increases the special meter, allowing for more frequent special attacks.

  • Brute Style: Embrace a more aggressive approach, diving into enemies with brute force. Taking hits fills the special meter faster, making it perfect for players who like a relentless offensive style.

  • Technical Style: Specialize in skillful, strategic play. This style increases your points for skill upgrades but reduces your basic attack power. Perfect for players who favor special moves and building high scores.

• Upgradeable Skills: The game features a unique skills upgrade system. Instead of traditional XP or tokens, Time X Drifter introduces a scoring points system. The more combos you land without taking damage, the higher your score multiplier. Use your accumulated points to buy new skills, boost your damage, or even heal at in-stage "Upgrade Terminals"
