About Neon Drift

It is a fast shooting game that you can play alone or with a friend on the same keyboard.

You pick between two modes. In Boss Mode, bosses show up one after another when your score hits certain milestones, and you win by beating all of them. Freestyle has no finish line, so you just survive as long as you can while the speed rises with your score.

The longer a run lasts, the faster enemies move and the more often they shoot. They also drop power-ups, which is your main way to stay alive once things get crowded.

Every enemy you destroy gives you points and gems. Your score is also what pushes the game forward, since it triggers the next boss in Boss Mode and raises the speed in Freestyle.

In two player mode, one ship is cyan and the other is orange. You fight side by side, but you have to keep the two ships from crashing into each other.

The game has a retro look, with bright glowing ships and enemies set against a dark, neon-lit backdrop.

Quick summary

  • You choose Boss Mode or Freestyle and take control of a glowing ship.
  • Enemies come at you in waves while you dodge their shots and fire back.
  • Destroyed enemies give points and gems and sometimes drop power-ups.
  • Boss Mode ends in a win after the last boss, while Freestyle goes on until you are taken down.

Key features

  • It plays like a classic arcade shooter with a ship and waves of enemies.
  • Boss Mode sends a new boss at each score milestone.
  • Freestyle is an endless mode that speeds up as your score grows.
  • Two people can play together on one keyboard.
  • Enemies get faster and more aggressive over time but also drop power-ups.

Tips & tricks

  • Grab the power-ups that enemies drop, because later waves move and shoot much faster.
  • In Boss Mode, watch your score so you know when the next boss is about to appear.
  • In Freestyle, a higher score means a faster game, so expect the pace to jump as you rack up points.
  • With two players, split the screen between you so the ships stay apart and never collide.
