Neon Pulsefire

Neon Pulsefire really surprised me in a good way. From the start, it just pulls you into this glowing neon cyber-world that feels both chaotic and stylish at the same time. The gameplay is fast, but it never feels unfair or messy. It’s the kind of game where your hands are constantly busy, but everything still feels responsive and under control. I liked that it’s not just about rushing in—there’s actually a bit of thinking involved if you want to do well. The whole vibe is boosted a lot by the soundtrack. Those synth-heavy beats fit perfectly and make the action feel even more intense, almost like you’re part of some futuristic chase scene. Overall, it’s just a really fun, energetic game that looks great, sounds great, and keeps you engaged without overcomplicating things.

The game is cheap and fun to play. It's fairly easy to understand. With a little exploring you can see where to upgrade your stats. And what to do to unlock everything. It's a simple game, you can easily see how some of the mechanics work. (E.G. how the enemies simply follow you where-ever you are. That's one of the first things you learn how to program when starting out with making games.) I appreciate the effort and transparency the solo dev is putting out there, in order to fix any bugs. Old review is no longer relevant. Just leaving it here hidden for now as a reminder. [spoiler][strike]I actually like the game, but right now there's still too many crashes happening. Most of the crashes happen right after you kill the boss, and then your progress is at least saved before it crashes. I had one run where I crashed before I finished a run, and in that instance I lost my progress. So right now I can't in good conscience recommend anyone to buy the game. It is however not an expensive game to buy. And it's fun in it's simplicity. Will change my review to positive once I've found more bug fixes have happened and the game isn't crashing all the time. But for now I have to put this game down, cause it's just annoying having to relaunch the game everytime after a run.[/strike][/spoiler]
