The short version

What is Vapor Trails?

I'm porting all the content over to the physics build which is going into Steam early access. I wouldn't have kept working on it if not for the popularity of this game on itch.

I'm porting all the content over to the physics build which is going into Steam early access. I wouldn't have kept working on it if not for the popularity of this game on itch. The physics build is already bug-free and feels much better to move around in compared to the base game, so give it a shot if you haven't tried it yet. <a href="https://sevencrane.itch.io/vaportrails-physics">vaportrails-physics by sevencrane</a> The year is 20XX. Return to the surface of Vapor City and exact revenge. Vapor Trails features separate buttons for "hit with arm" and "hit with leg." In standard Metroidvania fashion, bosses give you unique attacks and sometimes movement abilities. Explore the beautiful, flawed world of Vapor City. Make friends and influence people. Figure out Lauren's true motivations, the dark history of Paradise Labs, and what it means to be a Generation 0 candidate. Just kidding. Vap

Return to the surface of Vapor City and exact revenge.

Vapor Trails features separate buttons for "hit with arm" and "hit with leg." In standard Metroidvania fashion, bosses give you unique attacks and sometimes movement abilities.



Explore the beautiful, flawed world of Vapor City. Make friends and influence people. Figure out Lauren's true motivations, the dark history of Paradise Labs, and what it means to be a Generation 0 candidate.



Just kidding. Vapor Trails is pixel art because I like making pixel art.



Features tailor-made tracks from Gray Heron. Give his stuff a listen, it's good! Especially if you're a boomer and like the Chemical Brothers.




Vapor Trails is currently in development. If you have comments or bug reports, let me know in the comments.

There is a community discord server dedicated to speedrunning that you can join. I'm in it, but I don't run it.

I have a day job, so I can only do gamedev on weekends. 

If you'd like to support development, feel free to toss me a few bucks. Any money donated will be funneled back into Vapor Trails through buying my composer weed.

This is not going to be a phone game. Please don't ask me to port it to mobile, because I'm tired of explaining that porting a game to a phone is hard.
