Neon River

Neon River is a roguelite bullet hell about fighting through endlessly generated worlds. Once you cross the riverline, a timer starts, and you battle until time runs out. The farther you travel from the starting line, the harsher the world becomes.

Risk and reward

You begin with a set amount of time. As you move forward, you can find more treasure and time, but may find nothing; turning back lets you return safely to the starting line. You can fight for as long as you can, die and restart, or simply play for fun.

Arcade gameplay

Running and shooting are central to the game. Its gameplay draws inspiration from 1980s arcade games such as Robotron and Bubbles, with no other distractions.
