Release Date: September 30, 2021
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.
Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Oliver Reynolds
Aeon Drive isn't quite up there with modern platforming classics like Celeste, but it's pretty darn close nevertheless. While its narrative won't win any awards, this is simply a supporting backdrop to the fantastic gameplay on offer. Bolstered by solid performance and minimal loading screens, racing through the levels feels exhilarating as you jump, slide, and teleport your way through the maze-like environments. With an online leaderboard to satisfy your competitive nature and added multiplayer to boot, Aeon Drive is a speedrunning triumph that absolutely deserves your attention.
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.
GameSpew: 8 / 10 by Richard Seagrave
Those into speedrunning or action-packed platformers would be wise to check Aeon Drive out. While it’s not spectacular in any particular way, there’s little to find fault with here, and it’s fun to jump into if only for a few minutes at a time, attempting to finish new levels or improve your times on those you’ve already completed. And as ever, dashing through levels with a friend or family member by your side makes the action that much more enjoyable.
