Velocity 2X is now available to pre-order on Xbox One. The game costs $19.99 and is only a 2.2 GB download. The title is expected to release next week on August 19. Become a certified badass. Abducted by a race of hostile aliens, Lieutenant Kai Tana must use her quick reflexes and the teleporting power of the Quarp Jet to free her fellow prisoners and find a way home. Swapping back and forth between top-down vertical shoot ’em up and side-scrolling action platformer, Velocity 2X blends two unique styles of fast-paced, frenetic gameplay into one incredible experience.
Core Features:
• High-energy Adventure: Players must pilot the Quarp Jet through dangerous territory, using a variety of weapons and teleporting technology. Then dock your ship and advance through side-scrolling missions to defeat the evil alien race from within!
• Speed Runner’s Dream: Use Speed Boost pads, on-foot teledash and cybernetic sprints to make it through the game faster!
• Over 50 Dynamic Levels: Using the Quarp technology, navigate Lieutenant Tana through hours of gameplay that increases in speed and difficulty as you advance.
• High Re-playability: Compete against your friends to see who can have the top score! Ranked leaderboards let speed runners compete for fastest time, highest completion percentage and highest overall score!
