Action platformer game all about freedom and movement designed by a pro melee player. Get ready...

What it feels like to collect a shard! This is an old video, the FX have changed over time.

Wait, a speedrunning game has collectables and encourages multiple types of play? It can't be my brand!

I have SPECIAL eyes 👀.

Some super sick story art @VetNovice just finished up for @breakneckgame o:

Gator (boss #5) is terrifying LOL

[Alex @VetNovice]

Some Breakneck art I'm working on. Doing Story boards and iconic scenes.

It's hitting pretty good! Some Gator for you guys.

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

"I CAN'T LOSE, NOT THIS TIME!!"

The Gator's rage fuels his scheme.

The Skeleton boss shoots beams when aggrivated! Careful. ⚡️💀

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

Sound effects are being put in! I dig it a lot, tweaking the final victory theme among other stuff.

[Alex @VetNovice]

Cleaned up the sprint animation for my game!

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

Future Checker, he sees your future movement projections, then teleports to you!

Scary, but cool :D!

- Alex

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

Parrot enemy has been added! Some gameplay footage of the guy flapping around to shoot at you.

Pretty cool, I'd say!

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

The Skeleton contemplates his life beyond this one. He wants to break free of his inevitable cycle.

Experimenting with Blender, and Resolve to hone my Visual FX skills. Enjoy!

@harmonic_witch Too early to say, but we have made tests that worked. Will depend on a lot of factors before making a solid confirmation. (THE DREAM THOUGH)

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

Game explorer's rejoice! Breakneck is not purely a speedrunning game! You can collect all these shards for additional power ups!

This encourages non-speedrunners to level up Kin (main char) to progress. There's also another form of collectable coming out soon OooOOoo. 👀

@dumb_hero You got that right! You're a champ for really helping us be the best version we can be.

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

@Ethan_Gibson79 Yeah we want to make a minigame where you can hit balls into a circle / ring or goal area when the full story is out. After the full story is done, additional modes of play are already brainstormed out. It's going to be SO FUN. :D

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

Being a fan of SF3: Third Strike, I made some of the Dash Combos feel a bit like Yang's slash / Sheik's dash att, Yun's shoulder attack, and Yun's lunge attack! Hope you guys dig it!

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

@dumb_hero Yup, just Alex n Shep. Shep n Alex? Either way, just the two of us :).

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

@dumb_hero Every little bit helps. The fact alone you look so excited about it means all the more to me. You're a champ in my eyes! The game is rough around the edges, but it's well on its way to being something cool. <3

[Breakneck: Emergence @breakneckgame]

Prototype of Boss Supers in Breakneck Multiplayer fights!

They act like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 supers, enabling multiple super types / builds. They behave independently of your movement too, so you can do aggressive setups like JoJo's 2D fighting game.

Full anims soon!
