The gameplay of Neo Neo is characterized by its fast-paced, twin-stick shooter mechanics that blend elements from Hotline Miami and Super Hexagon, creating a minimalist yet addictive experience. Players face a relentless wall of death, which maintains high tension and encourages continuous movement, while various weapon upgrades add depth to the gameplay. However, the intense speed can be challenging for newcomers, and some players feel a tutorial would enhance understanding of the advanced mechanics.
- “Imagine Hotline Miami pared down and condensed to its most minimalist gameplay core, then reimagined as a score attack survival game in which you push through a seemingly endless line of randomly permuted little rooms filled with baddies and other obstacles.”
- “It's even more interesting though thanks to a constantly approaching wall of death that forces you to never stop advancing, ensuring the pace of gameplay is always frantic and tension is always high.”
- “Neo Neo is a twin-stick shooter arcade game with lightning quick gameplay and brutal difficulty built to be as addictive and quick as Super Hexagon.”
- “I kinda 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.”
- “Simply put, the gameplay is like Hotline Miami if you weren't allowed to stop moving.”

The game's music features a crunchy sound design and an upbeat yet ambient soundtrack that complements its visuals, creating a pleasing sensory experience. However, some players find the limited number of tracks leads to repetitiveness over time, suggesting that dynamic changes could enhance the gameplay experience. 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 create a unique atmosphere.”
- “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, enhancing the overall experience of the game.”
- “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.”
