Neon Shot Game Background

Neon Shot is a slingshot game inspired by Angry Birds. Fire shots at the rickety neon fort and take out the targets on and within it. Earn as many points as you can by collecting coins and finishing the level in as few shots as possible.

Basic Gameplay Advice

Basic Rules

Your goal is to take out all the targets, which are set atop and within a rickety fort of bricks, glass blocks, and wooden planks. Use the slingshot to shoot projectiles at the fort to take out the targets. Win by hitting all the targets within the 10 shots provided. Try to finish the level using as few shots as possible.

Use level features like TNT boxes to damage the fort even more and take out targets you wouldn’t otherwise be able to reach. Each level also has a set of coins scattered about. Your projectile can pick up coins as it flies; you do not need to collect all the coins to finish the level.

The game has 30 levels, which are unlocked sequentially. You can replay any of the levels you’ve previously beaten. Your browser automatically saves your level progress.

Difficulty & Scoring

The game has 2 difficulty modes (Easy and Hard), which you can select from the welcome screen. The levels arrangements are identical regardless of difficulty mode. The main difference between Easy and Hard modes is the presence of a trail of dots in Easy Mode. This trail can help you aim with precision.

Your score is based on the number of objects you’ve destroyed multiplied by the number of balls you have left at the end of the level. The fewer balls you use to complete the level, the higher your score will be. Every target you destroy is worth 200 points, while every coin you pick up along the way is worth 250 points.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Focus on collecting as many coins as you can along with the targets. Choose paths that collect as many coins as possible while taking out targets.

Consider aiming for the weaker parts of the forts. Ideally, your shots should take out load-bearing parts, which should be enough to create a cascading effect that causes maximum damage to the structure. This will, in effect, take out more of the targets in one shot.

If it’s difficult to aim for you to aim for the target directly, consider blowing up a nearby TNT box.

You can replay the game as many times as you want. If you lost or won but think you can do better, simply restart the level. Select the reset button to play the game again.
