Description

Time to deliver noodles! 
In the world of Velocity Noodle, food delivery is more critical than ever, and it's up to you to beat the challenging routes in a futuristic pixel city. Run, jump, teleport, and slide to deliver your noodles in record time. Velocity Noodle is a 2D, precision platformer that pushes you to try different techniques to figure out the best path and beat record times. It's similar to games like Celeste, Super Meat Boy and Dustforce but with quicker and freer movement. 

A big goal of Velocity Noodle is to give the sensation of speedrunning to people that do not normally speedrun games. It's not about getting the world record but more about stringing together movements and finding optimal routes through the bite sized levels.

History

Velocity Noodle is developed by a team of one, Shotgun Anaconda, who is based in Sweden. Game development has always been fascinating and a passion thus the game has been made along real life obligations. Velocity Noodle is self-funded and majority of what you see is done by being self-taught to code and pixelart. 

Features

• Smooth and fast movement that is easy to learn but has a raised skill ceiling for those that really want to dig into the game. You'll quickly learn to combo your basic jump, slide, dash and teleportation skill to beat record times.
• Several dozens of handcrafted levels that gradually introduce new traps and gimmicks to keep the experience fresh. All levels have a collectible and three records to break for the completionist.  Beat enough levels and you'll unlock new batches of hard levels to keep you going. 
• A banging synthwave based soundtrack.
• You can pet a dog.

Velocity Noodle has ultra-smooth movement with different techniques that let you go faster. With a base set of movement skills, you learn to combo them together to break levels and go even quicker. You'll have to run through several handcrafted challenging levels for all skill levels. The city has placed harsh restrictions on delivery companies. Thus your path is full of traps and alternative routes. The more you unlock, and the more records you beat, the more challenging puzzles are presented to you. Levels also have secrets and collectibles for those who love exploring and breaking levels. Play just for fun and your own satisfaction, or try to beat records times and collect all the shiny trophies. Beat enough levels, and you'll unlock expert versions with their own record and trophies that will really push you. You can pet dog. That's all.
