About Neon Guitar
It is a compact 2D music game where each song runs from start to finish and your job is to catch as many notes as you can along the way.
You play an aspiring rockstar who spent every saved cent on an electric guitar covered in neon lights, but still has to learn how to play it. Luckily, the guitar has a device that picks up the music around you and feeds you the notes. Hit them on time to keep the crowd happy, because if you miss too many, you get booed off the stage and have to try again.

When a song starts, columns stretch out ahead of you with a color-coded button at the bottom of each one. Notes slide down the columns, and you press the matching key the moment a note passes over its button. They come one at a time or in groups, in patterns that keep changing through the song.
Hitting notes in a row raises your score and fills the special meter. Once it is full, every note on the guitar transforms and is worth more points than before.
Every song has Easy, Normal and Hard settings. The higher you go, the more notes and combinations get thrown at you. The song list is fixed, so you cannot load your own music into the game.
Quick summary
- You pick a song and choose Easy, Normal or Hard.
- Notes fall down the columns and you hit each one as it crosses its button.
- Long streaks in this arcade rhythm game push your score up and charge the special meter.
- The run ends when the song is over or when too many misses get you booed off.
Key features
- A rookie rockstar story built around a neon guitar that reads notes from the music around you.
- Four note lanes, played with A, S, K and L or an X-style controller.
- Notes arrive solo or in groups, so this skill game makes you watch all four lanes at once.
- Hard mode adds more notes and combinations than Easy and Normal.
Tips & tricks
- Play a few songs on Easy first to get a feel for the four lanes before moving up.
- Keep your fingers resting on A, S, K and L so you never lose track of which key is which.
- Guard your streak, since the special meter only fills while you keep hitting notes in a row.
