A2C: Ayry Seems to be Playtesting a 2D Runner Shooter from Cci

About

A2C: Ayry is a 2D runner shooter with visual novel storytelling. You control a character sprinting through levels while firing at enemies and avoiding bullet patterns. The gameplay loops around quick reflexes and timing jumps to bypass obstacles. Between action sequences, dialogue unfolds between two characters discussing their world of Nosolute and the process of creating the game you’re playing. The story weaves their banter with the urgency of a nation’s fate hanging on your performance. The game stands out for blending frantic action with meta-narrative elements. Developer Imaginary Traveller uses the premise to reflect on game design itself, adding a layer of self-aware humor. Early playtests highlight the tight controls and creative level design, though the visual novel segments keep pacing uneven. Releases January 2025 on PC. Shorter than it sounds, but packed with developer commentary and bullet-hell challenges.
