She can throw a dagger, for example, which will stick into objects such as walls and allow her to teleport to them. Running and jumping are the bread and butter of your actions here, but Jackelyne does have some other tricks up her sleeve. But you don’t need them, and by using them you’ll certainly not be at the top of the speedrunning leaderboards.

It can be tricky with only thirty seconds on the clock, and should time run out it’s game over. But chances are you’ll have to repeat many levels multiple times before being successful, bumping that playing time up considerably.Īs Jackelyne, your goal is to reach the exit point on each level, avoiding obstacles, hazards and enemies along the way.

A space ranger, she’s crashed her ship and is now stranded in Neo Barcelona. Aeon Drive is a 2D platformer for those who like to live life in the fast lane.
