Released
About the game
A pixel-art space shooter roguelite on an open map. Survive 30-minute hordes, hunt challenges across the map, build a different arsenal every run and defeat 15 bosses with their own music and voices. 14 ships, 15 worlds, Threat Levels 0–10.
Original Steam description
NEON SURGE is a fast twin-stick space shooter built around one idea: every run should feel different. Fly an open map with no walls, dash through hordes that grow minute by minute, pick 1 of 3 powers, fuse them into something absurd — and face your world's boss at 30:00.
Every ship, rebuilt
All 14 ships got a high-resolution redesign — and every one of them has unique skins that rebuild the whole ship: a samurai, a phoenix, a reaper, a kraken, a pharaoh, a queen bee, a radioactive core and many more. Each skin brings its own engine flame, bullet trail, sparks and shield rings.
Worlds built in each boss's image
Every world is painted in its boss's colors and shapes, with living, animated backdrops and many parallax layers: a giant eye that watches you, an asteroid fortress, a crystal station, a serpent coiled around a lava planet, a spinning black hole, a hive full of wasps and more.
Challenges on the map
Hold the Trial Ring, hunt the golden target, accept a Cursed Shrine for a big prize, catch the Golden Comet — and crack open boss capsules bursting with confetti and rewards.
15 bosses, each one unique
Every boss has its own music, voice and animations, and the music turns furious in the final phase. A wasp queen, a living black hole, a three-headed hydra, a critical reactor core, the Signal and more.
