Dimension Drive is a space shoot'em up which gameplay combines frantic shooting, defense and fast puzzling action, and brings a unique mix of genres, storytelling and action to reality. Play two games at once on this dual battlefield madness set on a comic book universe!
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.
Dimension Drive features single player, local co-op game modes. Unlock various weapons by finding secret data cubes in the levels and improve your arsenal for the ultimate fight.
David Jimenez and Alejandro Santiago are developing Dimension Drive in their free time while working as Engineers in the European Space Agency (ESA). At the beginning of 2015, they joined forces with an amazing team of artists and musicians to help them make Dimension Drive the game of our dreams.
Dimension Drive is coming on PS4 and Xbox One on September 4th, which marks the final success of a long journey for the two ex-space engineers behind it. After a first Kickstarter campaign failed due to a fraudulent funding commitment that shook the industry, a second was successful.
“We are true believers in the ability of independent developers to create unique experiences for gamers. Being indies ourselves we know intimately the challenges that comes with marketing and distributing your creations”, said Anders Larsson, CEO of Lightbulb Crew and Chairman of LBC Games. “Our goal is to work with our developer partners to make their vision come true and reach the right audience.”
“The support provided by LBC Games gave us the chance to bring Dimension Drive to all the platforms we wanted.” said David Jimenez from 2Awesome studio. “It has been hard work, but we have finally achieved what we set out to achieve back in 2015!”.
