THE GAME

BORN FROM THE ARCADE

NEON LANCER is a love letter to the golden age of arcade games. Inspired by classics like After Burner, Space Harrier, and OutRun, it delivers the same white-knuckle rush — built for modern hardware with 16bit crafted pixel art, an 80's synth-orch soundtrack, and gameplay that rewards skill over everything.

Fly fast. Shoot faster. Ride The Dream Horizon. That's NEON LANCER.
