THE RIVER
Skim a winding river at full throttle. Watch your fuel, blow up the bridges and fly low for ground targets — but not too low.

Three arcade ages.
One neon rush.
We took the best of three eras of arcade action and let them evolve.
THE INVASION
Between sectors the camera rises and formations of alien ships dive at you. Hold the line, then open fire.
THE BEAT
The whole world pulses to a synthwave soundtrack. The faster you fly, the harder it hits.
= NEON RIVERSTRIKE
Built to be replayed
Every sector throws something new at you.
Choose your route
The river splits into two or three channels. Refuel, power up or go for double points — there is no turning back.
Giant motherships
Carriers the size of the river launch drone swarms. Each one is tougher than the last, and the sector will not move on until it falls.
Mountain turrets
Gun towers wait on the bends of the mountains. Read the curve, then take them out.
Up to 6 guns
Twin cannons, plasma, homing missile swarms, NOVA bombs and shields — plus MULTI GUN pickups that bolt on up to six extra barrels.
Five neon worlds
Neon River, Moonlit Forest, Red Canyon, Ice Fjord and Lava Fields, each with its own synthwave track.
Beat-synced lights
Every beat flashes the world. Fly in rhythm and feel the speed.
Danger close
Skim low for ground targets. Go too low and the river turns red, the sirens wail and the ground pulls you in.
Made for touch
Virtual stick or tilt steering, one-tap auto-fire and big thumb-friendly buttons. Keyboards and game controllers work too.
Eyes on the river
Straight from the game, running on iPhone and iPad.
Five worlds. Five soundtracks.
Each world has its own look, its own synthwave track and its own way to kill you.
Neon RiverWhere it all begins
Moonlit ForestPine ridges under a full moon
Red CanyonMolten light on the walls
Ice FjordCold, fast and glittering
Lava FieldsThe river runs on fire
Watch it evolve
From the pixels you remember to a full neon rush.
