Super quick 1 minute time trial levels. Sooooo fun. Both flashing them and then repeatedly doing them to get the fastest time.

Super quick 1 minute time trial levels. Sooooo fun. Both flashing them and then repeatedly doing them to get the fastest time.
There's often a bit of a puzzle element to figure out to use your given abilities to find shortcuts. After getting the gold medal the game tells you where the shortcut is which is useful but sometimes I wanted to just find it by myself.
Hidden collectibles in each level also fun. Often easy to find but hard to reach, and need to use your power ups creatively to get it.
There's a lot platforming variety as each gun gives you a different platforming ability. Each one they add gets progressively more fun too. The final ability makes you go so absurdly fast. Only ability I wanted was a rope swing.
There are a few levels that are longer 2-5 minutes and those are by far my least favorite levels. I could never Speedrun a full game I don't know how people do it
Biggest con was the writing in the game was too much for me. I made it an hour before I just skipped all the dialogue. And wow there's A LOT of dialogue.

Phenomenal game with style. The gameplay is addicting and the possibilities with the abilities really get you wanting to break the game by bypassing and carving your own path. Speedrunning for this game I imagine is quite nuts.

A Neon White Haiku:
Oddly satisfying
Arcade style speedrun gameplay
Skip the dialogue

Love everything, the best music and the best level design and the best story. Has the absolute creativity behind the unabashed cringe the chaos of everything I want

While not quite in the spirit of my Games Where You Kill God, there's a lot of heaven, hell, and really big hands in Neon White. I finished a playthrough and told myself I'd stop and move on but I keep coming back to get aces and find gifts in all the levels. I'm telling myself it's so I can get an alternate ending but it's really because I can't stand being so close to the next rank. Unfortunately, I just discovered there's a rank above Ace and now I need to convince myself I don't need to grind for it.
If you're playing Neon White on Steam and want to be friends so I can envy your speed, feel free to add me: https://s.team/p/gqg-tdp/RWDKBTGB (I'm not actually sure if we're allowed to share friend URLs on Grouvee; if I'm not supposed to just let me know.)

If I still was 16 years old I would be absolutely obsessed with Neon Violet and 100% convinced "I could fix her".
I just wanted a psychotic big tiddy goth girlfriend.

I think this article put the final nail in the coffin of any desire I had to play this game:
How Neon White brought back the leaderboard chase
In Neon White, each level has a global leaderboard in addition to a smaller leaderboard that’s shared among your friends list. While leaderboards have played a central role in video games since the era of arcade cabinets, Neon White made me care about my scores for the first time in recent memory.
I fully accept that I'm beyond the point in my life wherein comparing scores with other people is something I consider fun. I have no doubt this is a beautifully crafted game, but its entire game play cycle seems to revolve around things I simply don't care about anymore.

I am amazed at how few mechanics and game there is here and yet the levels are so well done. It reminds of some of the best early Mario levels.
I really despise the characters and yet I hunt every special gift to give to them in order to unlock their side quests and get to play more exquisitely designed …
