Neon Driver

7 votes

While we still try to understand all the weird visuals of the vaporwave style that we associate with the '80s, we can play some Neon Driver. You are a driver who has decided to take your car on the road into a vaporwave paradise where the road will keep going as long as you keep driving. You're not the only one since other drivers had the same idea so they'll be sharing the road with you and you need to show them some respect. We all want to reach the vaporwave paradise that supposedly lies at the end of this visually vibrant drive.

About Neon Driver

When it comes to driving games, the are so many routes you can take but many folks like to drive because it's relaxing. This game has elements of a relaxing driving game, but will also challenge you to stay alert and not get lulled into too much calm by your surroundings. Calmness makes for better driving, but not if it dulls your senses to the other drivers. Do what you can to keep your drive going smoothly and to make sure that the other drivers on the road have a good drive as well. There's enough room in paradise for all.

How to Play

Neon Driver is a 3D driving game about driving along an endless road into the vaporwave horizon using the keyboard.

Controls

W/Up Arrow - Accelerate
S/Down Arrow - Slow Down/Reverse
A/Left Arrow - Turn Left
D/Right Arrow - Turn Right
Spacebar - Handbrake

There are various game modes, but the goal they share between them is that you need to keep driving for as long as you can. The car will constantly maintain a certain speed, but you can accelerate it further up the road. If the car crashes, then your ride will end.

Before you start driving, you can take time to choose your car for the drive. You can choose whatever models you have unlocked and then outfit them with different parts and colors as you see fit. To get more options, you'll need to spend coins which you can earn by playing and driving. After you've got your car, then it's time to hit the road. Once you start driving, you'll have some time to adjust but then you'll start seeing other vehicles on the road. From there, you need to accelerate and start weaving between the cars to avoid crashing. The longer your drive, the higher your score, and the more you'll earn.

Tips and Tricks

While driving, you'll have some time to get into a rhythm that you can sync up with the sounds and sights of the road. If you see no paths through, slow down and wait for the vehicles to form a better arrangement so that you can get through. Above all, just enjoy the drive and the openings will come so you can keep moving forward.

FAQs

Is Neon Driver the same as Neon Drive?

While both games have the same vaporwave '80s look and feel to them, this game is more about avoiding other cars while the other is about avoiding neon obstacles.
