The Neon Boy

A lot of pain and pain. A great and fun indie platformer, with simple graphics and great experience. Good musical accompaniment. I play with a gamepad, quite a convenient control. Leaderboards are a great motivator to replay many times, that would occupy the top positions, but this is not always possible. In general, this is a good game, definitely recommend it.

Video (gameplay + commentary): https://youtu.be/DCkaE2jJ-g0 Really loving The Neon Boy so far. Some of the earlier levels are quick and easy, but before long the game hits you with a few that are a real doozy. Looking forward to seeing more!

[b][i]Review copy provided by developer via Curator Connect[/i][/b] I kinda wish Super Meat Boy had gone on with a bunch of direct sequels, partly because it might have spared us from the loads of challenge platformers that have tried to follow its success. SMB worked because it had tight controls, incredible mobility, and extremely clever levels. In contrast, The Neon Boy has the first one, a little bit of the second, and none of the third. Cleverness is replaced by more saws, more spikes, and longer levels which only multiply the frustration, not the challenge. It's a shame, too, because I was pretty on board with this one before it turned on me. There's technically a story, you've been converted to a neon construct by nefarious scientists and trapped in test chambers full of deadly traps. You can double-jump and cling to walls and that's about it, but it's enough to hop over sawblades and make your way to the exit of each level. The levels are structured just like SMB, with 20 levels to a world, and the first world serves as a fine introduction to the challenges you'll be facing. Each level is short and has key features to negotiate and everything works. Then you get to the last level of the world and for some reason it's not only far harder than the previous ones, it's about ten times longer. Challenge platformers are fine when you can die and retry jumps every few seconds but having to get whole minutes into a level just to practice tricky jumps is a dealbreaker. Shame they had to go and spoil such a promising game, but perhaps the developers can puzzle out more entertaining challenges in their next game.

This game is a great reason to remind you that before the game was more difficult. No one was trying to help you. So this is a game, the heiress of those ideas. She strongly resists and does not give you a chance. That's cool. I hope in the future we will see the second part of this creation :)

If you are a user of Unix OS and everything works like a clock. If you are a Blender user in God mode. If you have passed all the Dark Souls and you are bored! Then this game, then what you need.

Fun, cheap game with awesome creativity and gameplay. This is one of the few games that challenges you with difficulty in a way that isn't cheap, and instead motivates you to overcome its obstacles. Don't use a controller, that way you have less to throw at your computer.

This game is awesome. Very entertaining and well designed platformer with a lot of potential. Soundtrack is marvelous through the entire game. Very enjoyable.
