BAIONLENJA (AppID: 3509160)

Speedrun Inspired Movement

BAIONLENJA is an atmospheric FPS where you combine the most overpowered and skill based movement mechanics of all time. Inspired by Source Engine movement tricks, you explore the research facility with powerful versions of B-Hopping, Rocket Jumping and Airstrafing. No earlier experience is needed: Audio and Visual feedback will teach you each technique until you feel like a speedrunner.

STORY

Fossil of an unknown creature was discovered by the BAIONLENJA corporation. Once they began to disturb the fossil, a dormant consciousness within lashed out with disastrous consequences. Researchers soon realized that the brain of the fossil is still intact; holding schematics of strange machines called MECHANOIDS and memories of a time beyond ours.

You do not know who or what you are, but you can hear the fossil calling out to you, beckoning you to venture into the undersea facility of the BAIONLENJA corporation.

The fossil calls you by the name: SPIRIT.

MOVEMENT

• B-Hopping (Autohop with visual & audio feedback)

• Air Strafing (Same as in Source, but acceleration is cranked way up)

• Blade Jumping (Melee Rocket jumping with no self-damage or ammo)

• Surfing Ramps/Trimping (Combine with B-Hopping and Blade Jumping for huge jumps)

• No speed caps or limits (Go as fast as your skill allows)
