FEATURES:
- Precise, first-person shooter meets fast-paced platformer to create a unique speedrunning challenge.
- 10 levels with difficulties ranging from “It took 15 tries but I finally got it!” to “THIS S*** IS F****** IMPOSSIBLE!!” (though we promise every level is beatable)
- A pulse-pounding, electronic soundtrack that’s guaranteed to keep your heart pumping.
- Blaze through a synthwave cyberscape with high-octane, momentum-based movement.
- Non-linear level design allows for creative strategies to achieve maximum speed - this game is meant to be broken!
- It’s free! This is a passion project that we want to share with you, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
INSPIRATIONS:
Inspired by challenging, fair, and fast-paced games like Dark Souls, Quake, and Celeste, we sought out to develop a game that combined our favorite parts from each. The result was Hard, Fast, and Flashy: a momentum-based platformer with retro aesthetics and a definitively modern gameplay feel.UPCOMING FIXES:
- Improved performance through animation rendering.
- Improved camera angle (modified FOV, visible feet, centered model).
- Additional settings for key rebinds, VSYNC, and mouse sensitivity.
- Reworked physics to allow for greater conservation of momentum and better aerial control.
- Reworked instructions and menus.
- Voice acting for player character and main menu.
