What else is there to say about Neon 3? Let's list all the things that people love about this game:

Platforming - I mean come on, the very core of the game is naturally going to be an aspect that people love about the game. Nader's ability to create buttery-smooth saves is unmatched by almost anyone. Never does any one save get too difficult, never is there a small catch in any given set of jumps, never did I feel like I played even an ounce of a fifth of a filler save.

Music Choices - Nader always makes top class choices for his games, and this is certainly his best showing so far, musically.

Gimmicks - There's a mixture of both original and unoriginal gimmicks in Neon 3, but original or not, they're used masterfully either way. Perhaps my absolute favorite is the Transmutation stage. Nader implements a spin on the idea of changing from normal kid to dotkid, using retrievable objects that change you on pick-up. The way these objects were integrated into the gameplay felt so right, so absolutely natural, that it's a wonder it took anyone this long to hit upon such a brilliant concept.

Visuals - The Neon series has always been known best for its visuals; however, they were always fairly basic in this same department: cool, sleek, simplistic, and above all chill, but never did they deliver any sort of wow factor. Not so with Neon 3. Now, there's an additional level of luxury, an extra dollop of detail, just a little something to really make the visuals pop. The most visually impressive stage, however, and perhaps my favorite stage in all fangames, is the final stage. The way the colors change, the way they're synced to the music, the way it all culminates in this brilliant finale, it's just a thing of beauty that has to be seen to be believed.

Heart - This, I think, is the most important aspect of the game. I got into a conversation with Chatran about fangames yesterday, and something he brought up about what he wants most out of a game is to be able to see the heart in it, the life that makes the game more than just something to pass the time. Neon 3 has that heart, something that previous Neon games were in short supply of. Though they were great games, and you could still feel the passion within the design, they were missing just a little something. Neon 3 has that little something. The passion is in full showing, the care put into making everything feel perfect, the work put into making this game feel special, it's all palpable. The love and soul within this game makes it more than just your typical fangame, it is an all out journey, a promenade through the beauty of a brilliant creator's mind.


I need not say anything more.

Insanely good conclusion to everything about Neon stuff. I would say, almost perfection of needle all around. And the ending really makes me smile, even tho i'm not big fan of this type of humour
My personal issue might be there's not that much of physics-changed stuff compared to prequels, which was one of the shiniest things about them
