You are Finn Ridley, a former Special Forces operative killed in action, only to awaken inside a cosmic simulation that refuses to let you rest. Dragged into a twisted virtual dimension by an unknown entity, Finn is forced to fight once more through relentless trials, evolving enemies, and collapsing timelines… all for the chance to earn his eternal peace, and reclaim the one thing he desires most: his favorite ice cream flavor. War Flavor is a side-scrolling action platformer with tight, arcade-style combat inspired by genre legends like Contra, Metal Slug, and Blazing Chrome, but with a deadly twist. Time Is Your Health There is no life bar. No extra lives. Your remaining time is your survival. Abilities Cost Time Every special move, power, and tactical advantage drains precious seconds.
