How to Play
Neon Orbit has 50 longer missions. Each level changes its colors, original music motif, hazard movements, and goal. Collect stars, survive a timed run, blast incoming hazards, rescue green signal pods, or race the clock. After 12 stars in every level, a guardian arrives for the final fight. Every tenth guardian is tougher. Aliens also fly in and fire aimed shots.

Mission types
The goal below the arena shows your progress. Star runs ask for more stars. Survival runs require both a time and star goal. Clear runs need blasted hazards and collected stars. Rescue runs need green signal pods. Rush runs give you a countdown. Collect 12 stars to summon the guardian, then shoot until its health bar empties. Survival, clearing, and rescue objectives must also be completed. Aliens fire projectiles toward your current position, so keep moving. Meteor waves arrive during longer flights.
Weapon crates
Pick up marked supply crates as they drift through the arena. L mounts a 12-second laser: hold FIRE to cut through enemies and damage guardians. 2 deploys a second fighter for 15 seconds: it follows you and fires beside your jet. B loads a bomb charge (up to three): tap BOMB or press B to clear enemy threats and deal five guardian damage. Each upgrade ends or is consumed during the current mission.
Jets, systems, and rewards
You start with four lives and recover one life and one power charge after finishing a mission. Choose Standard flight or Ace flight before launch. Ace flight starts with three hull segments, moves threats faster, spawns them more often, gives guardians extra armor, and adds 50% to the completion bonus. Five jets unlock at levels 1, 11, 21, 31, and 41. Catch cyan energy cells for Shield, Magnet, Time Warp, or Repair. Each completed level awards bonus points and a one to three star rank. Your best rank appears in the Stage picker, so you can replay missions to improve it.
Saving progress
Your best score, unlocked levels, and ranks save in this browser when local storage is available. They are personal to this device and may disappear if you clear browser data. Music begins when you press Play and can be muted at any time.
