help Neon White FAQ
Why does Neon White use cards instead of normal weapons?
Each Soul Card acts as both a weapon and a movement ability. Keeping a card lets White fire its weapon, while discarding it can trigger actions such as a double jump, dash, explosive boost, or ground slam.
Who are Neon White, Neon Red, and Neon Violet competing against?
They are deceased assassins recruited to exterminate demons in Heaven for a chance at redemption. The story gradually reveals that White, Red, Violet, and Yellow knew one another before their deaths.
How do level medals and gifts work in Neon White?
Faster completion times earn increasingly valuable medals and unlock additional leaderboard information or shortcuts. Hidden gifts can instead be given to characters such as Neon Red and Neon Violet to open side conversations and bonus stages.
Which games are closest to Neon White's speedrunning mechanics?
Its restart-heavy time trials invite comparisons with Ghostrunner and Mirror's Edge, while its compact score-chasing levels resemble action games built for repeated mastery. Neon White distinguishes itself through the Soul Card discard system created by Angel Matrix.
