NEON ASCENT

Climb the neon skyline, one bounce at a time.

Your ship bounces on its own. You steer it onto the next glowing pad, grab data cubes, stomp patrol drones, and try not to fall. It takes one thumb: hold the left or right half of the screen.

What’s in the free version

  • 20 levels, each a 280 m climb
  • 4 boss drone fights, at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20
  • Pad types: normal, spring, sliding, vanishing and crumbling
  • Patrol drones you can stomp from above
  • An upgrade shop between levels: Shrink Drive, Grav Stabilizer, Aegis Shield, Magnetic Pulse
  • Crash and you restart from the level you were on
  • Your cubes, upgrades and best height are saved in your browser
  • No ads and no sign-up. 

Controls

  • Phone or tablet: hold the left or right half of the screen
  • Keyboard: arrow keys or A / D to steer, P or Esc to pause, M to mute

Tips

  • Leave one side of the screen and you come back on the other.
  • A red cracked pad breaks, so don’t trust it.
  • Cubes sit off to the side of the pads, so you have to steer for them.
  • Shrink Drive helps most against the boss attacks.

Want more?
Neon Ascent Unlimited has endless levels, harder pads and drones that shoot back, and two extra upgrades (Cube Doubler and Soft Landing). Aegis Shield also goes up to 8 charges.
