More about this game
Neon Pursuit is an endless rooftop runner where you must outrun security drones across a futuristic city. Your goal is to survive as long as possible while maintaining a high combo multiplier. You start with a 78-meter lead, but taking hits from lasers or walls slows you down, letting security close in. The difficulty ramps up over time, increasing your base speed of 610 and introducing tighter obstacle cadences. A run ends if your lead drops to 0 meters or you fall between buildings.
Tips
- Sliding on the ground regenerates your stamina at 24 points per second, so use long slides to refuel your sprint burst.
- Landing perfectly after a long jump or vaulting cleanly over a laser barrier awards 300 skill points to boost your final rank.
- Watch out for scanner beams on the rooftops; getting caught in one will lock your sprint burst ability for 3 full seconds.
Questions
How is the final score calculated?
Your final score is a weighted mix of four stats: distance traveled makes up 60%, your combo score is 20%, collected data caches add 15%, and skill points provide the final 5%.
What happens if I hit an obstacle?
Hitting a wall or laser hurts you and triggers a 1.05-second slowdown. This drains your lead, and if you take multiple hits within a 2-second window, security gets a massive catch-up boost.
How do I get an S rank?
You need an overall performance score of 82% or higher. Focus on surviving past 1200 meters, reaching a combo chain of 24, and collecting at least 12 data caches.
