Neon Junctions

Neon Junctions is short and sweet, but has a few issues that keep it from being great. There are elements that show a lot of potential for innovation which makes me excited for what comes next. The visuals and music are on point I just wish that there was a little more expansion on the core of the game.

  • The game features well-designed puzzles that are intuitive and enjoyable, providing a satisfying challenge without being overly frustrating.
  • The aesthetic is appealing with a stylish neon design and a fitting 80's synth soundtrack that enhances the overall experience.
  • It's a short but engaging game, taking around 2-3 hours to complete, making it a great option for puzzle game enthusiasts looking for a quick play.
  • The controls can be frustrating, as the mouse isn't locked to the crosshair and key rebinding options are limited, which can detract from the gameplay experience.
  • Some levels introduce new mechanics in complex situations, making it harder to grasp the new concepts, which can lead to confusion.
  • The game is relatively short, and while enjoyable, players may find themselves wishing for more levels or additional content.
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features a fitting 80's synth soundtrack that complements its neon abstract aesthetic, enhancing the overall experience. However, with only about four tracks available, the repetitive looping can become tedious, especially during challenging puzzles. Overall, while the soundtrack is appreciated, its limited variety may detract from prolonged gameplay.

    • “A nice 3D puzzle game with a cool aesthetic and nice soundtrack.”
    • “I love the puzzles, the look, and the soundtrack.”
    • “Well designed levels with a nice soundtrack.”
    • “There's only about 4 songs to listen to in the entire game, and it can become annoying if you get stuck on a puzzle with the music looping repeatedly.”
    • “The music was alright, but it doesn't stand out or enhance the experience.”
    • “The sound of 80's synths perfectly suits the theme, but the limited variety in the soundtrack makes it repetitive.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have noted that the gameplay can be frustrating due to the introduction of new mechanics amidst existing complexities, making it challenging to grasp these new elements. While some mechanics are considered easy, the difficulty spikes in later levels can create a disjointed experience. Overall, the balance between complexity and clarity in gameplay mechanics has received mixed feedback.

    • “My biggest complaint is that the game introduces new mechanics in situations where there's already other complexity, making it harder to figure out the new mechanic, particularly the fact that you can put boxes into doorways to hold doors open.”
    • “My biggest complaint is that the game introduces new mechanics in situations where there's already other complexity, making it harder to figure out the new mechanic, particularly the fact that you can put boxes into doorways to hold doors open.”
    • “Easy mechanics, despite the last level being hard to complete.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their stylish and pretty 3D aesthetic, fitting well with its neon abstract theme. However, some users noted that the visual variety is lacking, as many levels appear similar, which could detract from the overall experience. The accompanying soundtrack, while thematically appropriate, may become repetitive due to its limited selection.

    • “The graphics are pretty and stylish for what it's trying to be (a neon abstract first-person puzzle game) and the sound of 80's like synths perfectly suits the theme.”
    • “A nice 3D puzzle game with a cool aesthetic and nice soundtrack.”
    • “The aesthetics were good but could use some improving as every level looks the same.”
    • “The aesthetics were good but could use some improving as every level looks the same.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in specific levels like level 34 and the secret level, which detracts from the overall experience. While some enjoy the challenge, others feel that the basic movement mechanics make certain parkour elements frustrating.

    • “The grinding in this game feels excessively tedious, especially at level 34 and the secret level.”
    • “The parkour levels are just annoying, and the basic movement mechanics don't help the grinding experience.”
    • “I found the grinding to be a major drawback, making the overall experience less enjoyable.”
