About Neon Spaceboard
About this game:

There are powers to use like missiles and a shield that protects you from damage. It has a town called “Red planet” with RPG features where you can get upgrades and talk with NPCs.
It's the first development of an independent team.
Story:
Bebetta is an intrepid spaceboarder girl. She awakens on a mysterious place named “Red Planet” without any explanation. She explores the world by locating portals and teleporting to new levels. She needs to defeat all the bosses to finally find the answers of this place.
Red planet has different NPCs to interact with, mini games to solve and regions to explore.
Game mechanics:
You can walk on “Red Planet”, explore and play some mini puzzles, talk with some characters and enter levels. Also you may need you to complete all levels to unlock some sections and secret game features.
You have a life-bar that decreases when you take damage by colliding with asteroids or with boss projectiles. Picking up the platonic solids gems will give you powers to defend yourself from asteroids and bosses.
Bosses need to be damaged by your projectiles to be defeated.
Biography:
Federico Jimenez wanted to develop his own project, he likes extreme sports like skate and parkour, also through psychedelic experiences he finds a particular artistic style, and a way to express it in videogames. A year before graduating from game programming, he started working on the project concept and development.
Latter in the global game jam, he meets Tirso Hernandez and the idea grew into development for Steam. Soon afterwards Brenda Macias joined the team to make the voice acting. When the game was in need for more music tracks, Miguel Sandoval provided some tracks to complete the requirement.

My honest feedback as a tester: Good :D -I think that the models (asteroids, player, etc) are very very well done and look cool and have good detail. -The gameplay has a lot of fun parts the first level is a very good and hard intro to the game and isn't too challenging yet fun -Bosses are either humorous or look cool, the 2nd level has a bit akward yet awesome boss whilst the first one is just a funny. The other end of the party (Thinks to improve :D) -The motion blurr is extremly agresive so sometimes when turning you get just a melting cluster of colors, but the rest the colors are great and well made and not too confusing. -There are these small bits where you just move a bit to dodge 2 meteors per 30 seconds which can be a bit boring to start a level to, you can go trough the first time but it becomes a bit tiring to have to go trough that small bit (but it looks long and big) more than one time as you know you can beat it but you feel like you're wasting time. Level 2 has a perfect example of this at the begining, the level only starts becoming enterteining at the boss part. But level 1 doesnt seem to have this, it just intruduces you to asteroids then directly to boss. -Norm…3 found this helpful
In my opinion, this is more of a psychedelic experience than a game, You can actually trip with this game. I think that's fantastic, because psychedlic games have not been explored enough, Tetris Effect and LSD: Dream Emulator are the only games that could fit that description as far as I can think of. Neon Spaceboard has flaws, mayor ones even, but it's full of personality and trippy visuals. Musical tracks are awesome but repetitive. I wish I could pay to get a polished version of this game, with a variety of musical tracks and more trippy visuals, it could easily become a cult classic. If I had big money, I would fund this developer to create a psychedelic game.1 found this helpful
