A one-thumb swipe game for Android and iOS

Neon Shift

snake, but you change colour

Eat your colour to build combos, eat another to shift to it, and slip through gates only in their colour. A new Daily Shift every day, and no account needed.

How it plays

Eat, shift, slip through

Swipe to steer. The edges wrap around, so only your own body and a gate in the wrong colour can end the run.

  • Eat your colour

    An orb in your colour builds your combo, and the multiplier climbs up to ×8.

  • Eat another to shift

    An orb of another colour shifts you to it, and your combo starts again.

  • Gates

    Every five orbs, neon gates appear. You pass only in their colour: hollow is safe, hatched is deadly.

  • Prism

    Grab the white triangle for 45 moves of rainbow mode: gates can't hurt you, and points count double.

The Daily Shift

Same board for everyone, every day

The Daily Shift is seeded by the date (in UTC) on a fixed 18 × 30 grid, so everyone plays the same board each day.

Your best of the day is kept next to your all-time best and the number of games you played, on your phone. With an account, your first run of the day goes on the daily ranking.

The game

Easy to read, quick to restart

  • Your colour is the UI

    The arena border, the ring and the combo chip all take your snake's colour, so you always know which gates are safe.

  • One thumb

    A portrait game: swipe to steer, and chain swipes for tight turns. It pauses by itself when you leave the app.

  • Signal lost

    When a run ends you see your score, your best combo and a badge for a new best. Playing again is one tap.

Accounts

An account is optional

Pick a nickname and play. Without an account, everything stays on your phone.

With an account, your best score goes on the online leaderboard, and your first Daily Shift run of each day on the daily ranking. Other players see only your nickname next to your scores.
