A psychedelic, high octane romp through a demon infested heaven has never felt so smooth. Neon White excels at almost everything it attempts to do. The gameplay is fastpaced, puzzling, and genuinely challenging in moments. Never does the game give you a break as new mechanic after new mechanic is hoisted on you with level design that teaches you how they work, but also challenges you to see how far you can take them. The addiction of shaving off just a few more seconds of your previous best time becomes a potently addicting gameplay loop that never seems to get old. Neon White constantly pushes you to become better and better as the mechanics from previous stages begin to layer and merge with one another to create interesting and compelling new movement combinations that you never thought possible before.

This is a game that shows your experience as you play it more. The second level becomes marginally faster simply by learning how to discard your weapon for a unique ability, creating a new route that is much faster than the first run. Backed by an amazing OST and simple but nonetheless charming visuals create an experience that appears simple on surface level, but hides a unique layer of complexity.
