Developer Aurogon Shanghai is running a highly successful Kickstarter campaign for Afterimage, a metroidvania-style action game with jaw-dropping 2D visuals. Having launched the crowdfunding campaign in March, the team behind Afterimage has since surpassed their initial funding goal and even managed to unlock several exciting stretch goals – these goals include additional areas, a boss rush stage, and even voice acted cutscenes in Chinese, Japanese and English.

Here’s a trailer:
