About

Neon Drift Zero

Read full description

Neon Drift Zero is a one-thumb survival run through an endless storm of glowing cubes. Your ship flies forward on its own. Hold the left or right side of the screen to drift between the cubes and stay alive as long as you can. There are no points and no power-ups: your score is simply your time. One touch of a cube and the run is over. HOW IT PLAYS • Hold left or right to steer. The whole world banks and tilts with you. • The field keeps coming from every direction, so there's no edge to hide on. • The longer you last, the faster it gets and the tighter the gaps become. • Every gap is placed within reach of your ship, so every run can be survived. • Skim past a cube for a near-miss flash and chime. A NEW LEVEL EVERY 30 SECONDS Each level shifts the neon around you and adds new challenges: • Level 1 · Violet Drift: learn the feel of the drift. • Level 2 · Cyan Current: walls, corridors and zigzags appear. • Level 3 · Solar Rush: faster, denser and more patterns. • Level 4 · Toxic Bloom: pulsing fields join the storm. • Level 5 · Ion Storm: split paths force a split-second choice. After that the cycle returns with new colors, faster than before. LEADERBOARD AND ACHIEVEMENTS Put your time on the Longest Survival leaderboard and unlock 7 achievements with Game Center, from your first run to surviving a full 3 minutes. Game Center is optional; the game works fully without it. SMOOTH NEON VISUALS • Glowing edges, bloom, fog, a striped horizon sun and a starfield • Speed lines, light trails and a burst of shards when you crash • Runs at up to 120 Hz on ProMotion iPhones and adjusts quality on older ones PLAY YOUR WAY • Made for iPhone Duo: fills the screen closed or open, and turns to landscape when opened sideways • Plays fully offline, with no account needed to play • No ads and no in-app purchases • Camera tilt can be lowered or turned off if motion bothers you • Optional tilt steering with the motion sensor • Sound and haptics toggles Contains fast motion and bright flashing effects. Beat your best time, then beat it again.

Verdict

Jump Jerboa's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
