Neon Frontier

About the game

An original browser game by Zarocer.

Neon Frontier is a territory arcade game where a single line can reshape the arena. Travel along safe borders, arm your trail and venture into open space. Return to safety to claim every connected region without a drone. Your goal is to capture at least 65% of each of three sectors using three shields and four minutes of active time. Later sectors add drones, making their movement patterns and your choice of route increasingly important. Classic mode keeps a fixed seed so you can learn the arena and improve your personal best. Daily mode uses the UTC date as its seed, giving everyone the same starting challenge for that day. Practice follows the same rules without emitting competitive candidates. Keyboard, mouse and touch controls are included, along with local saves, sound settings and seven interface languages. Restored runs and the records displayed in the game remain local; a global leaderboard requires portal integration.

Controls

Hold the arrow keys or WASD to move. Press Space or X to arm your trail before leaving safe territory. Return to safety to capture connected regions that contain no drones. Keep drones away from your trail and never cross your own line. On touch screens, hold a direction button or swipe the arena; lift to stop. Press P, Esc or Pause to stop the clock and save. Capture 65% in all three sectors to win.
