Angel Essence

The release date for Angel Essence was July 21, 2026, when it launched exclusively for PC. This indie title by g3bsoft revives the 3D platformer with a focus on momentum-based movement and custom traversal. You control the treasure hunter Angelique through a floating world of interconnected islands, using a toolkit of wallruns, backflips, and super sprints to bypass environmental hazards and surreal enemies.

What sets this apart from typical retro-inspired platformers is the gravity node system, which allows you to manifest points in space to chain together custom air combos and flight paths. The world is designed with an open-ended structure, letting you tackle challenges and collect upgrades in any order. It is a dense, high-skill experience intended to be cleared in roughly three to five hours, making it ideal for those who value tight mechanics over long-winded exploration. Play this if you prioritize technical movement and speedrunning potential in your platforming.
