Developer and publisher CryoGX has announced that its fast-paced 2D indie action-platformer, Advent NEON, is now available on PC via Steam. Also notable is that this title marks the developer’s first solo commercial game.
Advent Neon takes place in the setting of Neopolis, following the protagonist, Neon, on an adventure to retrieve their creator’s body. Players can anticipate swift combat and maneuverability with attack chaining and dashing. It’s possible to freeze time, including the level timer, to take advantage of foes as well.
Prospective players can anticipate a full platform fighter’s moveset, featuring attacks that can be executed in multiple directions, alongside cancelable attacks and responsive upsets that encourage combo variation. Plus, enemy attacks can be parried. Further, there are eight-way dashing and wavedashing, with the entirety of the movement system emphasized as remarkably smooth.
Another significant mechanic is Resonance, which allows for drastic power scaling, dealing critical hits, and transforming at maximum strength. Moreover, slopes can be utilized to achieve and maintain the High Speed State for swifter navigation. Those wanting to experiment can use the Training Room.
Lastly, the game features remappable controls, multiple controller support, the option to hold inputs, tweak FX opacity, and more.
Advent NEON has a 10% launch discount until July 25, 2025. Additionally, the game is confirmed to be compatible with Steam Deck, and a free demo is live.
