Neoclip

Neoclip is a puzzle game about revealing De Stijl-inspired compositions by using shadows to clip through walls in each painting. You explore each stage to uncover its vacant colours until the artwork frames itself as a complete piece. As you progress, levels grow more complex with evolving puzzle elements, and you unlock powerups.

Explore the paintings

Stages are usually fully visible from the start, but finding a route to the vacant colours becomes more complex as the paintings develop. Each stage presents a composition that gradually emerges as you explore.

Powerups and hazards

Powerups support different aspects of play, with each one addressing a single issue. You can toggle hazards as you progress; they are optional, add complexity to every stage and can earn you new rewards when you complete stages with them.

The artist’s journey

At the end of each stage, a short text passage shares the abstract thoughts and beliefs of a struggling artist exploring new artistic concepts. These ideas lead to the creation of the stage you have just completed. As you go deeper, the artist’s doubts, realizations and beliefs transition organically, revealing more about what makes art worth admiring.

Music and style

Neoclip uses a simple, refined style that recalls arcade gameplay from the age of flash games. Its original musical track changes according to the hazards in each stage.
