Neon Wings: Air Race News

Since we don't expect major sales in the future, we're making the game free. Maybe more of you will play this way :)
I hope it will be free around the New Year, the date mainly depends on steam.

HO-HO-HO, Santa's coming to town and brings you a present from the No More Neon team! We've put together a Christmas-themed level for you to make your holiday better! The level is the last one in the level list but it's already unlocked for everyone so gather your friends or race against the AI and have a great time!

• in-race UI reworked for better visibility
  
• electric sparks effect when a missile hits a ship
