About the Game

An arcade racer infused with roguelite elements, fuelled by music, mayhem, and pure forward momentum.

NEON SHIFTER pulls you into a high-speed, audio-driven road trip, where every move or crash can power your engine and build your advantage. Inspired by the likes of Burnout Revenge, this is a racer about aggression, risk, and relentless chaos.

You are a vehicle tearing through surreal, procedurally generated highways, neon coastlines, industrial docks, and chaotic cityscapes, all powered by the electrifying tracks of Savlonic. Your job is to tear up the roads: earning boost builds with aggression, where traffic density escalates with the beat, and every run becomes your own playable music video.

AGGRESSION IS YOUR WEAPON.

Forget careful driving or racing! This is about pure carnage.

  • Smash through traffic to build your boost.

  • Ram your opponents and pursuers off the road.

  • Take many risks to multiply your score.

  • Ultimately, maintain speed at all costs.

12 TRACKS. ONE ROUTE. 

Race across a country-spanning journey featuring 12 unique environments, including:

  • Neon coastlines

  • Industrial shipping docks

  • Desert mines

  • Night metropolis highways

  • Carnival chaos zones

Tracks are affected by the chaos on the road, which are procedurally generated to keep every run fresh.

SHORT RUNS. HIGH SCORES. ONE MORE RACE.

Built for instant fun and repeat play:

  • Fast, high-intensity races.

  • Discover secrets and hidden alternate routes.

  • Improve your runs.

  • Online multiplayer chaos

  • Local split-screen battles.

Simply race, or just wreck your friends, because sometimes winning isn’t enough. Sometimes you just want to ruin someone else’s run.

THE WORLD OF SAVLONIC

Set in the anarchic universe of SAVLONIC, a fictional band created by Jonti “Weebl” Picking, NEON SHIFTER blends music, rebellion, and absurd humour into a bold, stylised world.

At its core: Technology belongs to everyone. Not the elite.

KEY FEATURES

  • Music-driven gameplay that directly affects speed, chaos, and boost.

  • Aggressive, high-speed arcade racing.

  • Roguelite elements mutate the chaos in fun and unique ways.

  • Traffic-smashing, boost-building, combat driving.

  • 12 tracks, interconnected with procedural elements for replayability.

  • Score-chasing, short-session design.

  • Online and local multiplayer.

  • Stylised neon world.

  • Unique soundtrack composed by SAVLONIC especially for this game.

BUILT FOR SPEED. DESIGNED FOR CHAOS.

If, like us, you miss the days of pure arcade racing, where speed mattered, and chaos was rewarded, this is your next obsession.

WISHLIST NOW AND EMBRACE THE CHAOS!
