Summary

Neon FM is a music game where players tap 3-5 lanes of notes to the beat of licensed electronic dance music from popular and indie artists while impressive visual effects swirl and flash in the background to simulate a music festival experience. The arcade version was first self-published in the USA by Unit-e Technologies in 2013, and then revised and re-released in Asia by Andamiro (a famous South Korean company responsible for the “Pump It Up” series) in 2017 with exclusive tracks. The mobile version was released in April of 2017 by Unit-e Global.

The game is recognized by 3 core factors:

  • The soundtrack, which features labels such as the popular “Monstercat,” and independent artists such as Carpenter Brut (of “Hotline Miami 2” fame) and Freezepop (seen in many Harmonix games).
  • Online, synchronous, cross-platform multiplayer matches
  • Impressive graphics and effects synced to the rhythm of tracks

The game originated in 2005 as a dance game similar to “Dance Dance Revolution” and “Pump It Up,” but was shelved due to issues with patents and the arcade publisher for the title. The game was resurrected in 2013 (with the same lead designer) as a hand-based game, and underwent many improvements with player and partner feedback. The game was then brought to mobile in 2017 after spending over a year in beta.

The game has since received international acclaim, especially in the United States, Japan, and Mexico. The arcade version is available in many countries, including the USA, South Korea, Thailand, Philippines, China, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates, and more (see the current list of arcades we know about here).

The game retails for $7,995 for arcade and is available free with in-app purchases for mobile.

★★★★★

For what it’s worth, I’ve never played this game before, or even heard of it. But the look on my face when I saw classic tracks from Monstercat, “Elisium+”, and even FREEZE POP, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming! Clearly the dev’s have worked hard on this came to bring it to mobile and they’ve done an amazing job. From the extra effects like the screen shake and color changes, to the roster of songs, everything is great. This is a game I’ll play and support for a long time!

This is such a grest rhythm gane. Perfect for everyone.

GJYYNGII EmoterAndroid player

Best rythm game ★★★★★

This is definitely the best rythm game out there. It has a unique button lay out and has some of the best music you’ll find in a rythm game. None of that classical music or rock star type music which has been over used by so many other rythm/music games. If you think this is going to be like all the other rythm games on the market, you’re wrong. If you fall in love with this game like I did, there’s even a built in arcade finder in the app.
