More about Neon Beats

Steam's global achievement data puts about 4 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 0.3-hour game, that is a lot of evenings the rest never spend. Inside the two-hour refund window, 96 percent of the 305 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it.

0.3 hours to finish it, 3 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 11 times the campaign.

At 0.3 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
