For day 17 of the RPS Advent Calendar this year, you’re feeling the need - the need forspeed. There’s a beautiful load of levels to leap through out there, and if you can take out all the enemies in your way then so much the better.

This is Neon White at its best: seeing beyond what a level appears to be, figuring out your own little tricks, revelling in every split-second shaved, finally nailing a tricky skip, then coming to master that skip and making it another movement performed unconsciously, and celebrating every place climbed on the leaderboards. It is a wonderful feeling to nail a run and set a new best time, yet the feeling that I could do one section just a bit better never goes away. I was very happy to have Neon White levels running in the back of my head for several weeks this year, occasionally throwing up potential solutions that I’d have to dash to my PC to check.

All the while, you’re zipping through a beautiful vision of Heaven, listening to fantastic music, and hanging out with your idiot anime pals. I know some find this rude ‘tude off-putting but I’m quite fond of these idiots and here for their daft plans.
