Neon Ballistics: Project Rain
🌃 Neon Ballistics: Project Rain
A Cinematic 2D Action-Platformer set in the dark, rain-slicked streets of a future metropolis. You play as an exiled detective running across rooftops and through neon-lit slums.
🌑 Atmosphere First
I designed the game to look like living concept art with deep scene depth. Light only reveals what falls within your cone of vision, leaving the rest in deep, shadowy silhouettes. Heavy rain breaks against platforms , and a deep parallax background immerses you in the foggy skyscrapers of the city.
🥷 Verticality & Silence
Stealth is your weapon. Sound pulses from running or shooting will alert enemies. Crouch in the dark zones to become invisible, or use silenced weapons and a katana to eliminate threats without a sound.
⚙️ Cyberware & Hacking
Air Dash: Dash through the air across wide gaps, leaving a ghost trail behind.
Time Dilation: Slow down time to deflect bullets with your katana or aim perfectly mid-jump.
🎮 Game Modes & Competition
Choose how you want to experience the rain-slicked streets. Whether you are learning the ropes or pushing your limits, there is a challenge for you:
🟢 Normal Mode: Perfect for mastering your cyberware and memorizing enemy patterns. If you fall in combat, you will respawn at the current level, ready to strike again.
💀 Roguelike Mode: For the ultimate thrill-seekers. Death is permanent. One fatal mistake means losing your progress and starting your journey from the very beginning.
🏆 Global Leaderboard: Prove you are the ultimate exiled detective. Climb to the very top of the global rankings by relying purely on your reflexes, stealth, and flawless execution.
🗺️ Available Raids
Raid 1: Silent Harbor — Navigate the shadowy remnants of an abandoned dock. Rely on your stealth and careful movement to survive its towering, silent structures.
Raid 2: Magenta Club — Infiltrate a massive, multi-story neon nightclub. Stay alert and adapt quickly, as lethal threats hold the high ground and danger lurks on every floor.
Raid 3: Construction Zone — Navigate the treacherous scaffolding of a massive, incomplete skyscraper. Adapt to the unstable environment and relentless hazards as you push upward through the punishing storm.
🚀 Development Roadmap
As a solo indie developer, I am actively working on expanding the Neon Ballistics universe. Here is what I am currently building:
📖 Main Storyline: I am weaving a deep, cinematic narrative to connect the raids and explore the detective's past in the neon metropolis.
🗺️ New Raids: Designing complex new environments with unique platforming mechanics and environmental hazards.
🦾 New Enemies & Bosses: Introducing smarter, deadlier enemy AI and challenging, multi-phase boss fights that will test your reflexes and stealth.
