About

Neon Wings is mostly inspired by pod racing games, like Star Wars: Episode I Racer, or a not well-known game called Ballistics. Also, you can find elements from Blur or the Mario Kart games, cause we want some action beside the speed!

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing severe lag and performance issues, particularly during critical gameplay moments. However, the overall artistic design and aesthetic, described as a blend of adult Mario Kart with a vaporwave style, have been praised for their quality and contribution to the game's atmosphere.
- “The artwork, game progression, and music are all incredibly well done, making for a great overall experience.”
- “Think of it as a more adult version of Mario Kart with a vaporwave aesthetic.”
- “First tournament, race 2: I go through the first ring and experience a lag spike (and I don't mean going from 60 fps to 30 fps; I'm talking about 1 fps and it's a slideshow). Predictably, I die, respawn, and go through the second ring, and yet another lag spike leads to another slideshow. I lower the graphical settings to their absolute minimum, go through another ring, but it has no effect. So, I restart the game (close it, re-launch it), same tournament, same race, same track, first ring, and it's time for a slideshow again. Y'all ever seen a flipbook before?”
- “The graphics are disappointing and make the game feel outdated, which detracts from the overall experience.”
- “The visual performance is so poor that it ruins the immersion; I expected much better graphics for a game released in this era.”
