Neon Breach is a portrait shmup with a twist: every enemy that slips past you drains your shields. You don't just shoot — you INTERCEPT. Pilot one of four interceptor ships across 20 waves of escalating combat. Enemies rush the screen in formations — Runners flood, Fighters strafe and shoot, Shielded tanks push through your fire, and Swarms overwhelm. Every one that breaches your defense line costs you HP. INTERCEPT OR DIE. FOUR SHIPS, FOUR PLAYSTYLES • Vanguard: balanced all-rounder • Needle: glass cannon with rapid fire • Bastion: armored tank with heavy hits • Phantom: lightning-fast evasion specialist FOUR EPIC BOSSES • Sentinel: turret fortress raining laser spreads • Hydra: three-headed serpent with wave bullets • Mothership: capital ship launching radial bursts and homing missiles • Archon: final boss with three escalating phases of bullet hell BUILD YOUR LOADOUT Collect pickups mid-wave: fire boost, damage boost, spread shot, shield bubbles, screen-clearing bombs. Spend energy cells at the between-wave shop on permanent run upgrades: dual cannons, rear guns, crit chance, speed boosts, and more.
