Neon Blitz

Neon Blitz is a survivor-like shooter where you face waves of enemies in focused 10-minute runs. Inspired by Vampire Survivors and Brotato, you'll grow stronger through upgrades but with an emphasis creating moment-to-moment combat decisions that matter.

The minigun is your primary weapon, featuring spin-up mechanics, sustained fire periods, and a heat system that culminates in devastating area-of-effect vents when you overheat. Master the rhythm of positioning, firing, and venting to mow down hordes while staying mobile with your dash ability.

Upgrades are procedurally generated with rarity tiers - each level-up presents three stat boosts of varying power. Common upgrades provide solid improvements, while rare and legendary rolls can dramatically shift your power curve. Find the right combination of damage, fire rate, heat capacity, and mobility to create your ideal build.

This is an early playtest build - your feedback will shape the final game!

What I'm Testing

Core Combat Feel:

• Does the minigun feel satisfying to use?
• Is the heat/vent cycle engaging or frustrating?
• Does the dash ability feel responsive and useful?

Upgrade System:

• Do the stat-based upgrades feel meaningful and impactful?
• Is the rarity system clear and exciting when you get higher-tier rolls?
• Do builds feel different from run to run?

Clarity & Balance:

• Are the weapon mechanics (spin-up, heat, vent) clearly communicated?
• Does the difficulty curve feel right for a 10-minute run?
• What feels too weak or too strong?

What Happens Next

Your feedback will guide development priorities. Planned features include passive weapons with unique triggers, behavioral weapon upgrades (transformative breakpoints), meta-progression systems, and expanded enemy variety.
