Neon Gyre
Slip through the gaps before the walls close in.
About Neon Gyre
You are a spark circling a glowing core. Walls rush in from every side, and there is always a gap somewhere. Find it, slip through and keep going. Every few seconds the walls get faster, the arena spins harder and the colours shift. Runs last seconds at first, then longer as you learn the patterns.
- Seven stages that speed up, spin harder and change colour
- Hand-made wall patterns, all tested to always have a way through
- A driving synth soundtrack generated live in the browser
- An online leaderboard of the longest runs on The Gamepire
How to play

Tips from the usta
- Look past the first wall. Knowing where the next gap is lets you start moving early.
- Bumping into the side of a wall only stops you. Only a head-on hit ends the run.
- Spirals open one lane further each time. Tap in the same direction in a steady rhythm.
