The 27th Dimension
A 2D pixelart run-and-gun platformer with unpredictable enemy paths, 30 handcrafted levels, 3 boss fights and an unlockable enemy editor so you can decide which threats spawn in every stage.
A colossal crack has appeared in the fabric of reality – the 26th Dimension is attacking the 27th Dimension!
With unprecedented energy and alien technology, it seeks to disrupt the order of the 27th Dimension and shake the balance of the Multiverse. But all is not lost. In the midst of the chaos, the local deity of the 27th Dimension calls upon you – chosen, unique, ready for battle. You have been recruited, not just as a soldier, but as the defender of an entire plane of reality.
Your mission begins now. Your fight will decide the fate of an entire dimension.
A 2D Run-and-Gun with unpredictable enemies – and an editor that puts the monsters in your hands.
The 27th Dimension is a focused 2D run-and-gun platformer: 30 handcrafted levels, including 3 boss battles, 4 different weapons, and 8 types of enemies that don’t just walk back and forth – they move along random paths. Every run forces you to react, adapt, and improvise.
Once you complete the campaign, you unlock an enemy editor that lets you determine which enemies appear in each level.
Run, shoot, improvise
Enemies in The 27th Dimension do not follow fixed paths. Each type of enemy moves randomly. You can’t memorize set patterns and autopilot through. You must react to constantly changing enemy positions.
Learn behaviors instead of fixed movement patterns.
Replay levels to create cleaner, faster, and riskier runs.
30 levels, 3 bosses, 4 difficulty settings
The campaign takes you through 30 handcrafted stages, including 3 boss battles that test different aspects of your movement and accuracy.
4 difficulty levels, ranging from accessible to merciless.
Tailored tuning for each difficulty level to provide a fitting challenge.
Whether you just want to see the credits or chase perfect runs – there’s a setting for you.
Unlock the enemy editor
After completing the game once, the enemy editor is unlocked, allowing you to set which enemy types appear in each level. It’s not a full level editor – the geometry remains the same – but you control what comes at you. You can also set random enemy selection.
