Neon Runner

A modern, web-native spiritual successor to the classic Flash game N. This version keeps the tight, expressive platforming and adds a dash mechanic, reactive hazards, glow-heavy visuals, and punchy synth SFX.

Objective

Collect all gold and reach the exit before the timer runs out while evading snipers, rockets, and mines.

• Shield: blocks one lethal hit.
• Slow Time: slows the world briefly.

You can take 3 hits before a full death reset.

Notes

Snipers and rocket launchers now hunt the player, so stay mobile and break line-of-sight.
