Neon Rider

Neon Rider is an endless auto-runner set on a Tron-style light cycle. Your cycle moves forward automatically across a glowing grid — jump over gaps, pull off double jumps for the tough ones, and hold to flip if the track goes inverted. The grid gets faster the longer you survive. Chase your best distance and try to beat it.

How to Play

The light cycle runs automatically. Your job is to keep it on the track by jumping over gaps at the right moment. Time your jump as the gap appears — too early and you land short, too late and you fall through. The speed ramps up the further you go.

• Keyboard: Space / ▲ to jump. Press again in mid-air for a double jump.
• Touch: tap once to jump, tap again while airborne to double-jump.
• Hold to flip: on inverted sections, hold the button to flip the cycle upside-down and stick to the ceiling.
• The run ends if the cycle falls into a gap — tap or press to start a new run immediately.

Tips & Strategy

• Jump early, not late. At high speed you have very little time to react — jump the moment you see a gap appearing, not when you're at its edge.
• Save the double jump for wide gaps. Don't waste your second jump on easy gaps — wide chasms require both jumps to clear.
• Focus your eyes ahead. Don't watch the cycle — look a few grid squares ahead of where you are so you have more time to react.
• Rhythm over reaction. At extreme speeds the gaps come in patterns — if you start to hear or feel the rhythm of the gaps, trust it.
