http://store.steampowered.com/app/332300
After 256 years of peace in the lands of Antoria...

the ROSELIAN ARMY OF BATRATHYM has risen up once more to attempt to reclaim the land of ANTORIA that they lost in the 43rd War of Darkness.
Threatening to start War of Darkness 44, KING LANCELOT BARTHOLOMEW ROSELL of the ROSELIAN EMPIRE sends his beasts through the lands, corrupting and destroying everything in their path.
Refusing to hide from the incoming threat, a young recruit at the MOTOR KNIGHT ACADEMY named JOY LANTZ leaps into action!
With the power of DIVINE LIFE granted to the MOTOR KNIGHTS through their DIVINE ARMOR, and her powerful signature weapon, the hybrid motorized lance-drill BURST ARM known as the JOYLANCE, JOY refuses to let anybody stop her from saving the world-- not even the ACADEMY itself!

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's retro-inspired visuals and creative core gameplay concept with its distinctive Joylance mechanic, but are frustrated by clunky controls, poor intuitiveness, weak music design, and lack of a proper tutorial. The main criticism is that the game appears to be abandoned in early access, leaving its potential unfulfilled despite showing promise in its fast-paced action platformer foundation.

The visual looks great. But I'm surprised the game have terrible tutorial and generally poor intuitiveness, despite it bothered to ask me about my self-assessment skill/capability when I opened the game for first time. In the end, it's just another abandoned early access that appears to have some potential.

The Joylancer: Legendary Motor Knight is a retro-inspired action platformer developed by alpha six productions and published by Digerati, built around high-speed movement and aggressive combat mechanics.

Charging the Joylance propels Joy forward at high speeds, allowing her to dash through enemies, perform super jumps, and chain attacks in rapid succession. This mechanic defines the game’s rhythm. Momentum is key, and players are encouraged to stay in motion, flowing between platforming segments and combat encounters without slowing down. When mastered, the system can feel fl…

It bit of a shame this game will probably never be worked on again. I just gave it a go and it's surprisingly pretty fun. Cool GBA inspired sprites. The Controls are a bit clunky don't feel great but there is a pretty cool creative vision here. Music isn't great either, but the core gameplay is fun for me. For what it is right now it's fine, don't know this story of the developer of the development as it is right now in my hands it's pretty fun.
