NEON AILERON

Coming soon to:

Earth is under attack from an alien force. Select your ship and fight off the enemy hoard!

Neon Aileron is a retro-style shooter where enemies spawn to the beat of the music.  Neon Aileron was created to evoke memories of playing older shooters that pre-date the bullet-hell genre.  We call this bullet-lite, because the focus is on shooting enemies instead of dodging complex bullet patterns.  We designed this game for fans of U.N. Squadron, Gradius, and Thunder Force.
