About

Neon Driftline

Features
Read full description

Hold to fire a grapple. Let go to fly. That is the whole game. The rest is you getting good at it. Neon Driftline is a one-touch swinging game across three cities. Eighteen stops from the Statue of Liberty to Mount Fuji, each built around one thing you have to learn to read — and each pinned to its place on a real map of the city. New York teaches the swing. London hangs its obstacles above the line instead of below it. Tokyo stops asking you to avoid things and asks you to pass through them. Release at the bottom of the arc and the chain grows. Release badly and the ground finds you. Either way you are swinging again in under a second — restart is one tap, and there is nothing between you and the next attempt. • One touch. Hold to swing, let go to fly. • Eighteen levels across New York, London and Tokyo, each on a real map of the city. • Three stars on every level, if you can find the line. • Lives, coins and neons: five lives, a free stretch on every level, a shop for the rest. • Aurora, the neon of every colour. • Game Center leaderboards and achievements. • Plays offline, in ten languages. • No ads. No account required. Coins can be bought for lives and neons — never for score.
