-What's NEW?!

 The Director's Cut features an entirely new campaign featuring our favorite resistance soldier champion, Joule! New levels, bosses, items, enemies, and powerups! There's a few other surprises in stock for returning players as well.

- The Story

In the distant future, a world long destroyed entered a period of recovery. The Scientific Union, forged by seven prodigal scientists from across the world, came about to unite this broken world. This New Enlightenment era would lead humanity to the furthest edges scientific thought, and as a result, rejuvenate the life of the planet.

To accelerate this era of enlightenment, Professor Tantalus Ohm, a rising star in robotics and computer science, and Dr. Lisa Shannon, the leading mind in artificial intelligence and information systems, created the Mega Drive Core to help spearhead the restoration and preservation of humanity. 

Years later, through deception and betrayal, Shannon’s part in the creation of the Mega Drive Core was eventually forgotten. Ohm was worshipped as a hero, and eventually, as the only voice that ever mattered. It was only a matter of time before war soon followed.

Thanks to his conquests, Ohm now has the tools to rebuild the world as he sees fit. His newest invention, the Calamity Contraption, would bathe the world in a wave of radiation once more. If the weapon is activated, the damage would be irreparable. 

But Unbeknownst to Professor Ohm, the Mega Drive Core never forgot its primary programming…

Time to save the world from calamity!

- The Gameplay  

Jolt: Fully Charged is made in the image of 16-bit era platformers, and functions the way you would expect it to. Your goal is to reach the end of each level, defeat the boss, and continue onto the next stage. Where things differ, however, is Jolt's ability to become intangible and phase through enemies with his signature Bolt Dash. Combined with his wall jump and double jump, the player has many different approaches to situations they'll encounter. You collect various power ups, such as the Dash Shield, which gives you new abilities such as double-dash, item magnetism, or even the ability to glide. Explore and find them all!

While this may seem like an easy challenge, where Jolt differs from most platformers is that the character's health is carried through each of the stages (since they are being pursued by the main antagonist). This means that exploration is the only way to recover health, but doing so comes with its own risks.  Make your choice fast though, Professor Ohm is coming for you!

A note from the Director:

This is a nearly completed version of the Director's Cut we had been working on for Jolt: Fully Charged.

Unfortunately, this game will never be entirely finished. I wanted to at least share what we had already accomplished with the world. So here it is! Jolt Fully Charged Director's Cut! This game is 99.9% completed, just missing some post game-content that had been planned for the DX version!
