A game by Boncho Games for PC, Mac, Linux, and iOS, originally released in 2016.
Blitz Breaker stars a tiny robot named Blitz who is attempting to escape the factory in which he was built, but his moveset is unlike that of most other platforming heroes. Blitz is unable to move freely to the left or right, and while he does have the ability to jump, it’s a technique that is rarely required. Instead, he can dash in a straight line in one of four directions and he is unable to alter his course until he reaches a solid object. This minimal moveset is called upon in varied and increasingly difficult ways across his 101-level adventure.
In each level, the robot is spawned into play and the player must use his dash maneuver to fly quickly around the screen, bashing into walls, floors, and ceilings on his way to the exit, all the while dodging hazards such as spikes and spinning sawblades. Early levels feature 1- and 2-screen environments, with larger multi-room environments appearing later in the game, although each is meant to be completed in under 30 seconds.
