- Rhythm Game Neon Drive Is All The 80s You Can Take - 28 May 2016
Super Hexagon and Audiosurf walk into a bar. Except they realize the bar is a disco, and it’s having a Tron-themed party. Only neons light up the room. They’re playing Europe, obnoxiously loud, and the best dancer will win an actual DeLorean. So they dance like they come from out of this world, and leave the real one far behind.

The devs are even handing out Certificates of Superhuman Abilities to whoever manages to collect all the achievements. …
- Game Update - Music Sync, Practice Mode, Extra Life - 24 May 2016
After considering all of your valuable feedback, we've updated the game to make it even more enjoyable. The difficulty of the normal mode has been reduced a bit, making the game more approachable to the non-hard-core gaming audience, but we still kept it extra-challenging at higher difficulties. Normal mode is now slightly easier, and you get one extra life. We've added practice mode with unlimited lives. You'll love the looks of it (hint: it's another tribute to the '80s). Please note that you'll have to complete the previous level at normal difficulty to unlock the practice mode for the current level. Music track offset has been adjusted to be in sync with the visuals; this should eliminate problems on some PC setups. We've added an option to manually adjust music offset, in case you find the above fixes don't quite cut it on your setup. We've improved many translations, so you can en…
