Neon Wars is a one player Arcade Style Abstract Shooter. Blitwise Productions, who are the authors of the games Pocket Tanks and Super DX-Ball, created Neon Wars. Neon Wars uses bright colors and lots of particle type effects to add visual appeal. The game play is fast and constant, getting faster as your score goes up, somewhat like Geometry Wars. As you avoid enemies. you can also collect small stars that give you power-ups like, Shields, Lasers, Shooting Stars and even one that freezes the enemies where they are.
