“Neo Neo is a very solid twin-stick endless game that's simple and addicting, with fast gameplay that pushes you to chase a higher score each time.”
“The fast-paced gameplay continuously encouraged me to restart every time I lost.”
“Simply put, the gameplay is like Hotline Miami if you weren't allowed to stop moving.”
“I kind of have a love/hate relationship with this game; the gameplay loop is so short that you can easily get bored or frustrated with it unless you make good progress each hour you play.”
“It is difficult to get to grips with them if you aren't used to the kind of intense gameplay that Neo Neo involves.”
“The only thing I find frustrating in the gameplay is I occasionally miss when I try to warp kill, but I am absolutely certain that it is because of the game's incredibly fast speed.”

The game's music features a crunchy sound design paired with an upbeat yet ambient soundtrack that enhances the overall aesthetic. While players appreciate the pleasing audio experience, some note that the limited number of tracks can lead to repetitiveness over time, suggesting that dynamic changes could enhance engagement as the game progresses. Overall, the music is considered simple but effective, with some players expressing interest in purchasing the soundtrack separately.
“The crunchy sound effects and the upbeat but sort of ambient soundtrack with the soft reds, blues, grays, and whites.”
“The game itself is bug-free (as far as I have seen), and both the art style and music are pleasing to the senses.”
“The music is simple, but effective.”
“There are only a few soundtracks in the game.”
“After a long while, the music does become a little repetitive. An ideal improvement would be to add in some sort of dynamic changes to the track whilst the game goes on. This would also have the effect of adding to the increasing intensity and feeling of reward when you get further into the game.”
“The music is also simple, but effective.”
