## What is Neon Manhattan?

THE MATCH-3 YOU DRIVE. No board, no grid — you match at full speed through a glowing neon city, and every crossing is a choice.

One thumb: swipe to turn, scoop shapes off the road, chain three of a kind before your flask overflows. Easy — until the battery dips, an energy gate slams shut, and the timer starts breathing down your neck. That's when it gets good.

FIVE CITIES, FIVE MOODS Cruise the stretched blocks of Midtown Manhattan, thread the dense grid of Tokyo's Ginza, ride along the Miami shoreline with the ocean glowing beside you, hunt landmarks through London fog, and take on the wide prospekts of Cyber Moscow. Every city has its own layout, palette, sky and signature landmark — from the Empire State needle to a ruby-starred tower.

100 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS A five-chapter campaign with goals that keep changing the rules: shape-specific triples, hard time limits, forbidden shapes, no-brake runs, eco finishes, district tours and rally checkpoints — glowing ring gates you thread in order, guided by a neon compass.

THE LADDER An endless climb where modifiers stack: rally rings on one rung, inverted odds on the next. How far can you get?

DRIVE SMART Manage your charge at glowing charge strips, patch your car at repair stations — take too many hits and the steering flips on you. Jokers, bombs, blinking and frozen shapes keep every run honest.

SCORE & STARS Three stars per level, clean-streak combo multipliers, and a lifetime score that grows with every run — win or lose.

PURE SYNTHWAVE Original retrowave soundtrack for every city, glowing wireframe skylines, rain-slicked streets and a sun that never quite sets.

Offline. Portrait. One thumb. See you on the avenue.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-09-03

Shapes now sit on the centre line of the road, so you pick them up from either lane — before, half of them were stranded on the oncoming side.

• FULLER STREETS. The whole city is stocked with shapes before the run starts, density is matched to each city's size, and nothing pops into existence in front of you any more.

• NEW TWIST: SHAPES ACROSS LANES. On seven campaign levels and every 11th rung of the Ladder, shapes spread across both lanes — a third of them end up on the oncoming side, and you'll have to drive around the block for those.

• THE JOKER WAS A LIAR. It used to be a gold star, pixel for pixel the same as the regular star shape — so completing a triple with it felt like the game was counting two of a kind. It's now an eight-point spark in a halo, cycling through the colours of every shape.

• READABLE LEVEL MAP. The city behind the grid no longer shines through it, and locked levels are actually visible.
