One core. An endless tunnel. Keep the signal alive.

NEON THREAD is an arcade survival game about precision, quick reactions, and finding your flow. Guide your core through shifting gaps, collect energy to stay alive, and weave past obstacles as the challenge intensifies.

Play it safe or risk a close call for bonus points and a burst of speed. Build your chain, push your distance, and turn every run into a new personal best.

Game mechanics:

  • Steer and dodge: Move horizontally through gaps in moving barriers.
  • Manage energy: Your energy drains over time. Collect glowing pickups to replenish it.
  • Build combos: Chain rewards to increase your score multiplier.
  • Risk near misses: Pass close to obstacles for bonus points and a brief speed boost.
  • Survive rising difficulty: Reach new distance milestones as the tunnel becomes more demanding.
  • Beat your records: Your best score, distance, and chain are saved locally.

Controls:

  • Move: Mouse, A/D, or left/right arrow keys.
  • Touch: Drag horizontally.
  • Start / retry / resume: Space.
  • Pause: Esc or P.
  • Sound: Use the on-screen sound button.
