Akira Elevator
Diagonal Akira Elevator, Descending into the mechanical guts of the mechanical bunker. Surely no waves of enemies will jump aboard before you reach the bottom, that would NEVER happen.
Inspired by the decent into the bunker from the cyberpunk classic Akria, and the many many Diagonal elevators in the 90s and 2000s video games likely also inspired by it. A horizontal platform arena that slowly makes its way down a shadowy shaft as enemies pile on or attack from nearby platforms, a staple in sci-fi and science fantasy. There must have been some kind of sirens call developers to design this exact encounter across so many games. I did my best to sell the illusion in top-down, I’m quite proud of it and couldn't find anyone else going for quite the same thing, so now we can employ this wonderful trope in our own Sci-fi and cyberpunk sorts of games!
