The art and music are dripping with style, the mechanics are easy to learn and offer enough wiggle room to be challenging without demanding perfection, and the story is full of heart — if a bit corny at times. If this game looks even remotely interesting, don’t sleep on it.
This is a video game about flying around heaven, shooting and dashing through demons, flirting with your other neons, gathering cards that happen to double as weapons, and talking to angels that just so happen to be cats with comically large sunglasses. If any of that sounds even slightly interesting to you, you may have found your new obsession.

While the story never fully grabbed me, Neon White is an absolute joy to play, keeping me hooked and repeatedly making me ask myself if I had one more run in me. Even if you’re not the sort of player who usually gets into chasing high scores and leaderboards, Neon White might surprise you.
Neon White is an absolute delight of a speed-running game. It's easy to pick up and play, and it has enough bite that you need to master how to shave off a few seconds from your time to proceed. More importantly, it feels really good to do so. The plot is fun, if not groundbreaking, and the likeable characters keep you invested. Aside from some backtracking that I wasn't fond of, Neon White hits all the marks and hits them well. Just be prepared to start playing and discover that eight hours have flown by.
Neon White is everything you want from a speedrunning game: fast, super precise, well structured and built around short and various levels. This alone would be enough to recommend it, but the package is completed with a unique artistic style, a valuable writing and a clearly original and strange game design that mixes together visual novel, dating sim, first person shooter and platformer. Some very small technical uncertainty in the repetition of the attempts does not affect the overall quality.
Neon White is going to make more than a few people realize they’re speedrunners at heart. Its brand of competition with the self is enthralling, and it's lifted to greater heights by its presentation, music, and mechanics.
Neon White was designed with a clear philosophy in mind and it shows. It’s about smooth movement, interesting level design, creative puzzle solutions and most of all, speed. Those looking for a shooter may be disappointed, but players who are looking for the aforementioned attributes will certainly not be. Amusing characters and a lighthearted tone are just icing on the cake on this very well-designed platformer. If you enjoy the game’s first level, then you likely won’t be dropping Neon White any time soon.
One of my favorite games ever: it is very fun game, the story is okay but the gameplay is completely wonderful. You can play it the whole day and won't get bored. wonderful game.

Generally an overrated game but the soundtrack by Machine Girl is absolutely banging (almost worth the game in itself). It does however become repetitive after a while because the game never lets it unfold totally.
The gameplay is weirdly addictive and intuitively fluent in a way that most speedrunners can only dream of. Not a speedrunner kind of gamer, but this game has unlocked the magic behind it somehow.
Worst is the story and the acting; a horrible cringey visual novel style voiced over by actors that clearly have no idea what a normal human conversation sounds like and can be skipped without loosing any valuable gameplay knowledge. It's too bad - If some decent animators, actors and script-writers could have assisted in forming the story, the premise of the game along with some traditional animation sequences could have lifted it to another level.

Most underrated game ı ever played. Story is boring, side character are bad, mechanics are a disagrece. Map desing is awful and making a single mistake means you have to play the level all over again. I can't believe some people are calling this the "BEST INDIE GAME" its just normal game with garbage content.
