Neon Shift

Neon Shift is a speedrunning platformer with 24 official levels and a community level editor and browser. Each level has two phases: a run and a chase. To submit a time to the leaderboard, you must complete both phases back to back.

Run for speed

The run focuses on maintaining momentum. Precise platforming helps you avoid mistakes that slow you down and increase your time, while sliding down ramps gives you a burst of speed. Some levels offer multiple paths to explore for a faster route; later levels add hazards and features such as spikes and speed boosts.

At the end of a run, your time is locked in and you become the Phantom, which must catch the ghost of the run you just completed. The Phantom starts at the ghost’s pace, but its maximum speed gradually increases during the chase. It also has a recharging dash for covering extra ground. Dashing through red blocks refreshes the dash’s cooldown, letting you chain dashes or reach routes that were previously inaccessible. Catch your ghost to submit your time to the leaderboard.

Level challenges

Each official level has a three-star system that rewards you for beating a challenge time while collecting items along the way.

Create and browse levels

The community level editor provides the tools used to make the official levels. You can build and test your own creations, then upload them for others to play. In the Community Levels tab, you can browse, play and rate levels made by other players. Each community level has its own leaderboard, where players can compete for the top spots.
