Genre	Platform

An upcoming 2.5D platformer by Neutronized was first announced on June 11, 2020 and was being developed for PC, mobile and console. It involves "dream[s] and reality mix[ing] together" and is inspired by classic games such as Klonoa. The mechanics share similarities with a previous Neutronized release, Dream Tower.

The protagonist is Alex, who awakens to the sound of wind and is trapped in a bubble. This bubble will allow him to temporarily float upwards when jumping off small obstacles or ledges. The gameplay will feature exploration and traditional platform mechanics, along with new characters as well as familiar ones from the Super Cat Tales series..

Controls

The player will only be given the ability to move left or right.

Gameplay

The player controls Alex, who navigates a tower while in a bubble. Alex will interact with the environment differently when moving left or right. When Alex walks off a ledge, for instance, he will float and spin around in his bubble. If the player moves him left and right, he will continue floating upwards while moving horizontally, but will fall if all horizontal movement is paused.

Enemies

Several enemies have been revealed in devlogs:

• Rock minion
• Bat
