After the whole troll debacle we are back in Kickstarter, stronger than ever!

Dimension Drive is a comic book-styled space adventure set in a multidimensional universe. It features a unique teleportation mechanic that allows you to fight on two battlefields at once, and gameplay combining frantic shooting, defense and fast puzzling action. We'll need YOUR help to make Dimension Drive the high-quality release you deserve, and bring this unique mix of genres, storytelling and action to reality.

The Ashajuls, a cruel multidimensional alien race, are attacking our universe. Fight as Jackelyne Tywood (a.k.a. Jack) in The Manticore, a legendary ship capable of teleporting across space and dimensions. Uncover the mysteries of your past and the origin of the Dimension Drives with your trusty friend and A.I., "V.E.R.A.", at your side.

- A New Type of Shoot?Em Up: Dimension Drive is a Dual-Battlefield vertical Shoot?Em Up with a focus on smart, quick teleporting.

- Rich Sci-fi Adventure: Unfold the secrets of the Dimension Drives and your past, teleport across the multiverse fighting the ultimate threat, and meet new races and allies!

- Clever Mix of Three Mechanics: A seamless combination of levels focusing on strategic shooting, fast puzzling and frantic defense make the core of Dimension Drive an exciting and varied one.

- 2 Wars at Once: Multitask and teleport to single-handedly fight in two shoot'em up levels at the same time.

- 4 Game Modes: Arcade, Modern, Pacifism and 1 Credit Clear all force you to approach the game in different ways and add replay value!

- Comic Book Style: Experience the story of Jack Tywood through gorgeous, dynamic motion comics fitting the cel-shaded style and visual "pop" of the main game. In Dimension Drive, video games meet comics. Who said space was just black?

- Energy Management: The Manticore is powered by Dimension Drive energy. Carefully decide when and where to teleport while in the midst of combat.

- Advanced Scoring System: Shoot'em up fans and genre newcomers alike will enjoy our unique scoring system that rewards you for playing truly well, rather than simply shooting enemies.

- Teleportation!: We've said that already, right? It's what makes our game really unique! No? Okay then--Teleportation!

Some info on how we plan to mix the story and the gameplay:

Dimension Drive is going to be a story-driven game and we've showed some of the early material that will go into telling Jack's adventures. We don't want to have the gameplay parts totally separate from the story. We want them to mix and intertwine and we have lots of ideas for that to happen. Today, we want to talk you about one of these ideas. Enter the Data Cubes!

Data Cubes are collectible items that you'll find in the levels in the form of pickups. They'll be located in hard to pick locations, so you better sharpen your teleportation skills if you want to get them!

You may be wondering how are these connected to the story and what is that map above, right? Data Cubes will give you extra pieces of story and background lore of Dimension Drive. They will range from images of certain game locations, to explanations on some of the technologies or races in the game. For example, want to know more about Jack's dual blasters and how do they work? Look here:

"Jack's dual blasters are based on the Vain military pistol. However, they have been heavily modified by VERA to work in conjunction with the Drive core in The Manticore. No need to carry any kind of ammo packs, these blasters harness the energy directly from the Drive core through a dimension portal. This allows Jack to fire them at will no matter how far she is from her ship. As long as The Manticore keeps the Drive core up and running, Jack can keep up the shooting making her a formidable foe."
