About

The Neon Boy is a challenging 2D precision platformer about a small, one-eyed hero held captive by evil scientists. Escape a world of deadly machinery by mastering jumps, studying traps and finding a way to the exit.

Jumps and deadly traps

Combine double jumps, wall jumps and wall slides to reach the exit. Saws, lasers, turrets, mines, fire, acid and spikes stand in your way. Learn how the traps work and choose the right moment to jump.

Four acts and secret levels

Explore 80 main levels across four acts: Laboratory, Valley, Smeltery and Techcenter. Collect all 27 hidden artifacts to unlock a bonus act with 9 secret levels.

Faster routes, better times

Return to completed levels, find shorter routes and refine your jumps to improve your personal bests. Compare your results with other players on Steam Leaderboards for individual levels, each act and the whole game.

Online races with friends

Choose an act and invite friends through Steam for online races with 2–4 players. Race through its levels, reach each exit before your opponents and try to win the most races.
