NETRUN

About the Game

Dual-Wielding Grappling Action

In NETRUN, you control both of your character's arms independently - each one equipped with a grappling hook and thruster. Mastery requires the active coordination of both hands:

• Swing on the rope with one hand, while lining up your next shot with the other

• Chain grapple shots by alternating hands to avoid cooldowns

• Launch both hooks at once to save yourself from a deadly fall

Using only three sets of inputs - the sticks, the shoulder buttons and the triggers - NETRUN provides a deep and addictive movement system built around navigational freedom. There is never just one way to tackle an obstacle - avoid an enemy, take a corner, or land a jump.

...Or indeed missing a jump! With success depending on not just the timing of a button press, but the precise inputs from two analog sticks, you'll always find yourself making micro-corrections to line up your trajectory with the route you planned. In this way, NETRUN can feel as much like a racing game as a traditional platformer.

This is not about jumping - it's about flow.

NETRUN's core gameplay challenge arises, not so much from the limitations of your tools, as it does from your capacity to handle their full power. Even a single, fully leveraged swing can send you flying quite far, quite fast. As that momentum builds, it's your job to know where your limits lie: How fast can I go, and still hit this shot? 

Carve Your Own Path

Tackle the challenges the way you want, with hundreds of handcrafted levels designed for both variety and player expression:

• Open stages featuring spacious environments and dynamic enemies reacting to your every move, rewarding quick reflexes and improvisation.

• Infiltration missions with complex geometry and enemies reliant on line-of-sight. Storm past the security, or take to the shadows and rely on finesse and precision - the choice is yours.

• Enclosed obstacle courses - hallways, mazes, puzzle rooms - with their own repertoire of static hazards and predictable traps. These stages reward planning and careful execution, while still providing meaningful choices in how you navigate the terrain.

Co-op and Arena

The Adventure mode can be played solo, or cooperatively with up to 4 players locally.

There is also a Smash Bros.-style Arena mode, where you can duke it out with your friends:

• Multiple rulesets to choose from, such as: Stock Battle, Collectathon, Lifeline, and others! Each with their own, configurable win conditions

• Special modifiers to mix up the action: gravitational anomalies, deadly digital light trails to corner your opponent with, permanent power-ups and more.

• Fine-tune the chaos with separate settings for item spawns: weapon crates, enemies, hazards, power-ups, and more.

Level Editor and Online

Create your own stages and share them with the world! Every stage that ships with NETRUN - Adventure and Arena alike - was built using the same level editor you'll have access to.

More details on NETRUN's online features coming soon.

NETRUN is slated to release later this year, with a free demo coming out in June. The gameplay speaks for itself - give it a shot. You may just find it scratches a totally unique platforming itch you never knew you had.
