The gameplay in Neodash is a fast-paced, arcade-style racing experience that combines drifting and flying mechanics, reminiscent of games like Rocket League and Trackmania. While the controls are generally smooth and responsive, players may find the learning curve steep due to the precision required for mastering the mechanics, particularly in challenging levels filled with obstacles. Overall, the game offers a rewarding experience for those willing to invest time in honing their skills, though some may be frustrated by certain design choices and the lack of a robust campaign mode.
- “The core gameplay is insanely fun and addictive, and feels really good to play as well as master.”
- “This game is really really fun: the levels are inventive, the controls and mechanics are easy and fun to use, and the style really fits the game.”
- “Gameplay is wonderful, graphics are stunning, the controls feel snappy and clean.”
- “Precision platforming and tunnels full of insta-kill traps that happen faster than the literal human reaction time, in a game that requires you to go as fast as you possibly can, with an inconsistent turning and drifting mechanic.”
- “Simple: the developer implemented drifting and 'flying' mechanics into the game that make no sense, then designed the game's levels in such a way that players are forced to master those techniques pretty much from the start.”
- “If the gameplay had stuck to the ground, or at least made the airborne sections not require incredibly precise movement when you barely have control of your vehicle, this would definitely be recommended by me.”

- “Runs great on my Steam Deck for a couple of levels when I have a moment's respite during the day.”
- “I never write reviews, but I absolutely adore this game. The music, the colors, the visuals, the instant reset, it all just works. The fact you can download and play an infinite number of tracks from users is an added bonus, not to mention being able to make your own. You definitely need quick reflexes, but every time you die, it feels like it's your fault because the controls are super tight. Oh, and it runs great on my deck.”

- “After many more hours in the game, and me ending up being more of a track creator than racer, the game has way too many super annoying bugs and glitches that are game-breaking.”
- “I ran into a few glitches with driving too close to the edges of platforms and clipping through the railing, but it didn't really affect much once you know it.”

The game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players find it limited due to its short length, others appreciate the challenge of improving times and exploring community-made maps, which significantly enhance replay value.

Overall, the game offers a decent amount of replayability for those who enjoy competing for better scores and exploring user-generated content.

- “Community-made maps make this very replayable.”
- “There's not much replayability for a player like me; however, I did enjoy the time I spent on it.”
