Advent NEON [DEMO]
A downloadable game for Windows
Hyperactive 2D action platformer made by just me!
Tear up robots with lightspeed attacks and agility. Stop time, and transform when you reach MAX power! Exceed the limits you're used to, and hone Neon's ability to an instinct. Feel the power, in this solo-dev'd passion project inspired by legends like Sonic the Hedgehog, Dragonball, Super Smash Bros, Celeste, DMC and Megaman!
Advent NEON's got a large focus on simple to learn mechanics with a high skill ceiling, with lots of room for skill expression. Neon has a full platform fighter's moveset to achieve this. The experience should feel fun, whether you're new, a veteran, an ultra-optimal speedrunner, or someone just looking to wavedash! Some of these mechanics include:
- Directional & Aerial Attacks - similar to attacks from Smash Bros!
- 8-Way Dashing - the kind of dash from Celeste, but even faster!
- Time Stop - dash into danger at the right time to freeze everything!
- Cancelling - Perform new attacks and actions before old ones finish!
- Nodes & Healing - Collect them to increase Resonance and restore HP!
- Resonance - A percentage gauge that increases your damage output. Reach 100% to achieve MAX POWER!

how do i get the christmas version for free
it looks like spark the electric jester and im looking forward for the game development
yo its the guy from fnf
Friday night funkin' mod is now a GAME??
i downloaded for free
awesome game, good job
i wanted to try the updated version but all i got is a chromebook so i can't play the updated version (which is only available on steam) i can only play it on crazygames (which is not updated) so i got 2 options to request to u.
1: update the version on crazygames.
2: release the game on Geforce/Nvidia
awesome game, this had to be more popular
Good game, bad way to advertise. You can't promote a game because of another rhythm game that was declining, note that now they remember the protagonist of this game as "The one from FNF"
you cant rate a game by how its promoted
I can't rate a mobile game because the ad says that was a puzzle game and is really a clicker when you download it? Think
The mod never said the original game was fnf. You tried to relate two different things. And the mod sure wasn't a video. Think.
everything about this game- the art, the music, the gameplay are all absolutely BUSSIN. the mechanics especially are great with tons of game design genius included. The fact that killing one enemy in a group of them can lead to a nutty chain happening is epic and makes the game flow so god dayum well. Amazing game, can't wait for a full release!
BEST GAME EVER
fnf
😑😑😑😑😑
steelsting.mp3
why is this a demo still?
I've only known this because of the fnf mod
I NEED NEONS BACKSTORY
can you make a mac version when the game comes out
good platformer. i really like it.
make an osu! skin
Hey, I just want to let you know that I experienced a crash and think I know why. The game crashed after the "green corn chip" dialogue when you first unlock resonance mode in the tutorial, so I looked through the Dialogue.csv file and noticed something odd. Cell F66, in the COMMANDS column, has additional dialogue ("you can't EAT 'em!") instead of a command. I deleted the contents of that cell to match the other cells that weren't marking the end of a dialogue. Restarted the demo and it ran fine. Really fun and satisfying gameplay!
i finally found a good 2d fighting game thank you
holy sh!t is that neon from friday night funkin!?!?!?!?
this is the original thats why the mod came out BECAUSE OF THE GAME is it not how it works?
have you heard of a joke
wow wow wow relaxes dude, i just joking
r/woooosh
wow lmfao look who cant take a joke
I like this game because it is the only one where I can say: I was fighting a boss so loud it cannot handle itself so it wears headphones ,to kill it I dogded his attack allowing me to stop time like in fricking jojo ,gave him a punch bigger than my entire body and went super sayan while I was at it time continues and I proceed to punch the robot like I am star platinum.
its sad how this game is forgotten
hey cryogx can u make the boss in lvl 3 easier plz? i only got it down by 75% at 1 hp
then died
in 1 sec
I sure wish I had checked this out before the Kickstarter campaign ended!
Great demo, frantic and fun. Lovely old school charm, just hard enough to not frustrate and blisteringly fast like Sonic used to be. Congratulations on getting funded, sorry I missed out.
I have wishlisted on Steam, am following you on Twitter and yes, I bought the soundtrack too. Every little helps!
if you make a browser version, your so fucking op
Show post...
REALLY GOOD GAME DEV
I have a cool power-up idea lol : so basically... ya have infinite dashes so u can pretty much dash through the air lol
and then there could be a barrier or smth that removes the ability
hope this idea helps in some way :)
wow thats pretty cool (dani reference)
wow thats pretty cool
Will this be on Mac?
hey cryo can you tell me why the website version of adventneon wont get anymore updates? and im on chromebook.
YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO
Two reasons! First, the final game will be a downloaded paid game. The web demo only served to give more people a taste of the game.
Second, the web version of the game is a port. Ports for games are actually incredibly hard to properly make, despite being the same game. For me to maintain the web version of Advent NEON would be like developing the same game twice.
Alright.
Knock Knock...
Nice work unlocking the new level! However I ask that you not post screenshots of the new bonus level here yet as to not spoil players too soon, so I unfortunately deleted the other two posts.
ok
YO TENGO YO TENGO YO TENGO (ded meme)
wow
eee
Cé te pasa/what is wrong with You
I honestly had an amazing time playing this game. Usually I just play games for content, but this was just an amazing advent.
OYE ENTIENDO QUE TE ESFORZASTE MUCHO PARA HACER ESTE JUEGO PERO AL MENOS DESPUES DE VENECER AL BOSS HELICOPTERO ESE PONE CHECKPOINT LLEVO JUGANDO UNA HORA Y POR LOS ENEMIGOS QUE HAY DESPUES DE VENCER A ESE BOSS NUNCA ME LO PASO PORFAVOR ME DUELE LA MANO TE ODIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Damn, this demo is absolutely fantastic! :D
How do you interact
I can't get in the first level it will only let me in the Direction/learn the controls
disable up to jump?
thanks
