CornflowerBlue has already shown outfit designs for Lina, including alien-style and little-devil-style costumes, and the trailer\u0026#39;s dashing pose and movement read as an homage to the 3D Sonic games, with touches in the vein of Super Mario Odyssey. A post from the developer\u0026#39;s X account suggests that awareness is deliberate. The game is a 3D platformer where Lina runs along walls and hills, dodges hazards, picks up items, and mows down enemies, with special moves called Spur Arts unlocked through data drives found along the way.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Lightspeed Lina's Kickstarter cleared its goal on day one, but the listed delivery date is spring 2028 and crowdfunding runs to October 2026.
