An action platformer that is a continuation of Dimension Drive. In Aeon Drive, we play the role of Jackelyne, who travels through stages full of traps, teleporting through obstacles and constantly fighting against time, trying to find the faulty elements of a machine for flexing dimensions.
Aeon Drive is an action platformer developed by the independent team of 2Awesome Studio. The game continues the story that began in a shmup published in 2018 under the title Dimension Drive.
The main heroine of Aeon Drive is a space pilot known from the game Dimension Drive named Jackelyne. The heroine goes to cyberpunk Barcelona, where she has to find the faulty elements of the machine used to flex the dimensions; without them, the space-time structure of the universe can be shaken.
At Aeon Drive, we observe the action from the side-scroll perspective. The game consists of more than eighty levels, among which we can find places associated with Barcelona, headed by Las Ramblas and Park Güell, or even Arc de Triomf and Torre Glories. As we walk through them, we jump on platforms and avoid countless traps, lasers, spikes and circular saws, we destroy selected field obstacles with the help of the heroine's great sword, and we teleport ourselves at short distances, making use of a special dagger. This is complicated by the fact that we have a limited time to complete a given stage; however, we can increase the stock with the help of the capsules we get along the way. As our actions are judged by the scoring system, which encourages us to polish our skills and improve the results, the game is characterized by high replayability.
Aeon Drive has colourful two-dimensional graphics made in pixel art technique. The game has been equipped with streaming tools.

Game Ratings for Aeon Drive Video Game.
Screen Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Jacob Zeranko
Aeon Drive is an otherwise solid experience with nuanced mechanics. The biggest areas where the game struggles are, luckily, in the smaller details such as the lack of hangtime and forgetting to include a mechanic in the tutorial that, thankfully, didn't hinder the gameplay until the end. With its comfortable three-hour playtime, native speedrunning leaderboards, competitive mode, and charming personality, Aeon Drive is definitely worth checking out.
Video Chums: 8.7 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski
If you enjoy fast-paced 2D action games where you try to complete levels as quickly as possible then you'll absolutely love everything that Aeon Drive has to offer. In fact, as it stands, it's one of the best indie games that I've played in a very long time.
Pure Nintendo: 5 / 10 by Dan Crawley
Sloppy level design and sluggish run speed and teleportation turn the speed-based Aeon Drive into a bit of a slog.
