Neon Primitive is a portrait arcade survival shooter for iPhone and iPad. Dodge glowing shape swarms, collect shards, and evolve your weapons during each run. Fight distinct geometric bosses, collect temporary boosts and treasure caches, and shape a different build each attempt. Between runs, spend Neon Cores in permanent Core Research, unlock pilots and banners, and chase better survival times. Try the full game free for 45 minutes of play time, with every mode, Core Research and revives included. The trial clock only runs while you are playing a run, never in menus or while paused. After the trial, the one-time Full Game Unlock keeps the game going for good and adds the online global leaderboards. No subscription and no ads. Optional 25-Core packs support Core Research progression. Play locally without an account. Optional Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In enables cloud backups and global leaderboards.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wizard's Survival at none against Neon Primitive's shown. Wizard's Survival also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Neon Primitive's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Wizard's Survival against 5.0 for Neon Primitive.
