Neon Primitive is a fast arcade survival shooter about dodging glowing shape swarms, collecting shards, and evolving your weapons run after run. Jump into quick offline runs, fight distinct geometric bosses, collect temporary boosts and caches, and choose upgrades as your build mutates mid-run. Between attempts, invest in permanent Core Research, unlock pilots and banners, and push for better survival times. Optional Apple or Google sign-in enables global leaderboards and cloud-backed profile features. The game can also be played locally without an account. The one-time Full Game Unlock removes post-run ads, opens premium modes and full Core Research access, enables premium player skins, and gives free revive access without watching rewarded ads. Optional Neon Cores can be purchased for Core Research progression.
