**Thrillscape: Horizon Dash** **Genre:** 2.5D Dynamic Runner | **Platforms:** PC, Consoles, Mobile **Setting:** Vibrant landscapes merge 2D platforming with layered 3D depth, blending side-scrolling agility with immersive environmental storytelling. Traverse crumbling temple ruins, neon-lit cyber cities, and bioluminescent caverns where foreground obstacles interact with dynamic background hazards. **Core Gameplay:** Master momentum-based movement—wall-run across ancient pillars, grapple through floating debris, and dodge collapsing terrain. Time precise jumps, slides, and mid-air dashes while adapting to shifting camera angles that reveal hidden paths. Interactive environments respond to player actions: trigger landslides to alter routes, swing vines to access shortcuts, or outpace cascading water surges. **Progression:** Unlock agility upgrades—double-jump boosters, temporary flight modules, or holographic clones that mimic your path. Collect relics to customize your runner’s gear and aesthetic, or discover secret zones that remix levels with mirrored layouts or time-reversed challenges. Compete in daily races with mutators like zero gravity or mirrored controls. **Visuals:** Stylized 3D models with 2D gameplay planes. Foregrounds pop with hyper-saturated colors while parallax backgrounds create cinematic scale—think colossal mechs patrolling distant cities or storm clouds swallowing mountain peaks. **Hook:** A "Perspective Shift" mechanic lets players temporarily rotate the camera 90 degrees, transforming side-scrolling paths into top-down obstacle courses. Boss battles escalate the concept: outmaneuver a screen-filling serpent by switching perspectives mid-chase or dismantle a titan’s armor by targeting 3D weakpoints visible only during camera pivots. **Platforms:** Console/PC for precision controls; mobile version features streamlined touch-and-hold mechanics with haptic feedback for jumps and slides. Crossplay leaderboards track best times across all versions.
