About Neon Loop
Neon Loop drops you into a glowing synthwave tunnel where your retro sports car races nonstop around a ring. Crystal rocks burst out of the vanishing point and grow as they fly toward you, and your only control is reversing direction at exactly the right moment.
That single button is what makes it tense: every time you reverse, your car gets a little faster, so panicking early makes the rest of the run harder. Reading where each rock will cross the ring, and waiting as long as you dare before switching, is the whole art. Your score ticks up every tenth of a second you survive, and your best run is saved for next time.

How to play
Your car drives around a ring on its own; press Space, click or tap to reverse its direction. Rocks fly out of the centre of the tunnel, and if one crosses the ring where your car is, the run is over. Every reversal adds 5 to your speed, and you score 10 points for each second you survive.

Tips
- Watch rocks while they are still small near the centre, since their path to the ring is already set.
- Only reverse when a rock is really heading your way, because every switch makes your car permanently faster.
- A rock that has already crossed the ring and grown huge is harmless, so ignore it and focus on the new ones.
- When two rocks come at once, reverse early so you are clear of both instead of weaving between them.

FAQ
Is Neon Loop free to play?
Yes, Neon Loop is completely free and runs right in your browser with no download or sign-up.
Can I play Neon Loop on my phone or tablet?
Yes, just tap anywhere on the screen to start and reverse direction; the tunnel adapts to both portrait and landscape.
Why does my car keep getting faster?
Each time you reverse direction your speed increases by 5, so the fewer reversals you use, the easier it stays to react.
