Freedom Planet is described as Megaman, Sonic, and Gunstar Heroes all combined in an explosive cartoon adventure with full voice acting and intense boss fights! The Kickstarter project has already succeeded before the deadline which is February 14th. This game is very similar to Sonic as far as the bulk of the level design comes into play, but a lot of the enemies are similar to opponents you may have faced while playing Megaman or Gunstar Heroes. If you like any of these games I highly suggest you take advantage of this unique offering.
Check out the free demo here.
Alternatively you can investigate the Kickstarter page and video here.
In the demo you'll be playing as Lilac and Carol. Lilac is the purple heroine of the game. While both characters operate fundamentally the same they do have their differences. Lilac's main form of attacking is a swipe from her hair. Which I have to say isn't too impressive. Though to make up for it she is quite talented at moving through the air. When your energy bar is full she can perform a hectic air dash (think Ristar if you've ever played it). Also when jumping off of walls Lilac can perform a hair twirl to glide in the air.
Playing second fiddle is Carol who I personally enjoyed much more. This little green creature has a few nice things to differentiate herself from the main heroine. First off her main attack is a swipe from her claws. What makes this so nice is that her claw attacks combo into each other and aren't as slow as Lilac's hair attacks. Secondly at the cost of some energy Carol will perform a multitude of kicks that remind me of a certain chinese girl in Street Fighter. These kicks are really powerful and can be used to take out the bigger enemies without too much trouble.
Carol doesn't have any options to move around in the air like Lilac. Our green platformer can, however, perform wall jumps which allow her to take more direct routes and solve puzzles differently. Lastly when Carol comes across fuel she'll hop onto a motorcycle and race across the level. This motorcycle injures enemies it collides with and can even drive up walls. Now tell me that isn't cool?
