Neon Rift

A small ship. A very big problem.

Neon Rift is a free browser survival game from Puzzle Perch. Choose your ship, outrun the swarm, and build your way through five sectors to face the Rift Warden.

• Three ships: balanced Vanguard, rapid-fire Wraith, and heavy-hitting Atlas.
• Build as you play: collect blue energy, level up, and choose upgrades.
• Daily challenge: a shared arena seed, refreshed every day at midnight UTC.
• Play immediately: no download or game account required.

Controls

Move with WASD, arrow keys, or drag in the arena. Weapons aim and fire automatically. Press Space or tap Dash for a brief escape. Press P or Escape to pause.
