About This Game

Neo Light is a brutal 2D precision platformer about speed, timing, and controlled chaos. Swap between 9 short-burst powers, survive rooms built to kill you, and chase cleaner runs while Glitch, your sarcastic AI assistant, reacts to your failures.

Run, jump, slide, crouch, and swap between 9 different “lights” that each has it's own special power that change how you traverse through each level. Every stage is built around quick reactions, clean movement, and finding faster routes.

It's a platformer made for players who enjoy dying, learning, improving, and eventually making a difficult section look effortless.

• Harness 9 unique powers to outsmart enemies and overcome challenges

• Challenge 6 bosses, each with strange personalities and satirical twists

• Jump, crouch, and slide to recharge your power energy

• Clear 30 diverse levels

• Chase better times, cleaner runs, and fewer deaths

• Explore 6 vibrant stages, each packed with its own distinct style and surprises

• Talk with optional Glitch AI feature, where Glitch, the in-game assistant, can respond to your voice input during gameplay

A note from the developer:

Neo Light is being developed by a solo developer,

It is my first video game project and I have been working on for a long time and still improving it so feedback is extremely valuable,

As a one-person project with a small budget, Neo Light uses generative AI for some of its assets, mainly background art, music and very few sound effects. That's what made a game of this scale possible for me, with a bigger budget I would have loved to work with artists and composers. Every AI-assisted asset was selected and edited by hand, and the level design, gameplay and Glitch's written lines are my own work.

Glitch's live AI replies are optional and off by default.

I hope you understand. Thank you for your attention.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Neo Light uses some AI-generated content created during development, including selected music, sound effects, background art, animation assistance and store artwork. All AI-assisted material was reviewed, edited and integrated by hand to match the game's final style and design.

Neo Light also includes Glitch AI, an optional online feature that stays off until the player turns it on. The player's voice is transcribed locally on their own device and the audio never leaves it; only the resulting text is sent through our server to an external AI service (OpenAI), which generates a short in-game reply from Glitch. Replies are kept within the game's world and Glitch's sarcastic persona, limited in length, filtered for unsafe content and limited per copy (1,000 replies in the full game, 3 in the demo).

Most of Glitch's dialogue, death insults, hints and command responses are pre-written and do not use generative AI. Glitch AI is not required to play the game: players can decline the privacy notice and play without AI-generated responses.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Neo Light contains cartoon/fantasy violence, frequent character deaths from traps and enemies, weapon-based boss fights, and comedic derogatory language.

The game also includes profanity, crude humor, and occasional sexual innuendo in boss dialogue and jokes. There is no nudity, explicit sexual content, realistic gore, sexual violence, drug use, or self-harm.
