Dope Retro style game.
With 8 stages which mechanicly pretty much are the same, but still divers in style.
Do not jump straight into Hard modes, play from easy onwoard.

it's hard or not, it's fun or not, idk guys this game is weirdo but in a good way .)

slightly frustrating sometimes but very much fun!

Neon Drive opposes my expectations constantly. Every level brings a new idea and I never expect it. By the time I reached level two my thoughts are, "Of course, they'll recycle the idea from level one!" Well, they got me. Then by level seven, I realized I'm the idiot who is stuck not coming up with anything creative and this developer, Fraoula, has succeeded.
Neon Drive starts off so mundane that I was ready to give it up in about a minute. Questioning why I made this purchase. But then the magic happens and it completely changed the game. Also, I didn't remember why I wanted the game or any of the screenshots. Anyway, after experiencing the magic once you're forced to complete all the levels to see exactly what the developer came up with. By the end of Neon Drive, it's beyond the mundane, it's amazing!
Yet, it's not a perfect game. In most levels, I struggle to feel the rhythm. I actually thought this was an infinite runner when I started. So I'm playing by sight and that's working fine. It's difficult and there are three levels of difficulty that increase the tempo of the track. It will take very quick fingers to finish all seven levels on insane difficulty. I found the last stage took me a ton of attempts but I did it! (on normal)
The surprise mechanics aren't enough to recommend Neon Drive outright. You must enjoy the visuals or A E S T H E T I C. I expect players to be deep into the Cyberpunk music and style to maximize the enjoyment of the game. You either love it or don't bother with Neon Drive.
Also, the twist mechanics aren't always good. Yes, they are interesting and I'm impressed but since they're not the main focus they're not polished. It's like how games add a small underwater section but the swimming sucks because why would they spend the time to make it good on such a small section of the game. You know what I mean?
Overall, this is an interesting game that surprised me. The risks the developer took paid off, it's a fresh version of a rhythm game. Keep it in mind if you want a couple hours of fun.

Neon Drive went from a very easy recommendation to a somewhat hesitant one after I reached the last few levels. The game starts off great. It's nice looking and stylistic in a uniquely simplistic way. The music is fantastic and the level design makes for a good challenge without being overly unfair.
Unfortunately it feels like the devs just ran out of ideas after the 4th or 5th track. The game starts to throw very cheap "gotcha" deaths all around. Where before you could only blame yourself for failing: now you have visually unclear sections and parts of tracks that require you to memorise rather than react quickly.
The songs themselves also dip in quality after the first 4 tracks imo. Maybe it's a stretch but I wouldn't be surprised if Fraoula, the developer of Neon Drive, decided the game simply wasn't long enough and chose to make some lower quality tracks (both songs and levels) to pad the game's length.
Either way, I think the price is right for Neon Drive. It's only $10 USD. The challenge will likely turn a lot of people away. Personally I only felt the need to play through my favourite 3 levels on the hard difficulty. A measly 7% of players got the achievement for beating 3 levels on hard so at least I can be somewhat proud of that.
As far as rhythm games go, Neon Drive certainly does enough right to earn a recommendation. Just don't expect your second hour with it to be quite as fun as your first.

Neon Drive is great. It's a Rhythm game where you dodge obstacles by weaving left and right. There are 4 lanes, one tap of the key moving you by one. As you might have guessed from the usage of "Rhythm game" obstacles are dodged in time to the music, I love the music.
You can finish the game in 20 minutes or so, faster if you never fail. But you will. For those that want to get more out of it there are leaderboards and a a few extra modes.
Hard Mode, which is the same but faster and Insane which is even faster and doesn't include checkpoints. The last mode is just survive as long as you can.
The gameplay is simple, yet surprisingly varied with each level feeling very different, even sections in those levels being distinct. Considering I love the soundtrack too there's no reason for me not to recommend this.
