About Neon Deflect
Neon Deflect is a single-button reaction game. You stand in the centre of an arena holding a small shield, and waves of neon projectiles streak in from every side. Rotate the shield to block them.
Hits come fast. Wave intervals shrink as the run goes on, and the shield itself shrinks at certain score thresholds. It is a clean test of timing and rotation — short runs, instant retries.
How to play
Drag or use the arrow keys to rotate the shield around your character. Block incoming projectiles. One unblocked hit ends the run.

Tips & tricks
- Anticipate the next angle rather than reacting to each shot.
- Multiple projectiles cluster — block the group, not the individual.
- Slow, steady rotation reads patterns better than fast wrist-flicks.
- When the shield shrinks, your rotation has to tighten too.
- Take a breath at the end of each wave. Calm reaction beats frantic reaction.

Yes — circular drag rotates the shield.
Are there power-ups?
Brief power-ups appear at score milestones to widen the shield or slow the wave.
Does my best score save?
Yes — the local best score is shown after every run.
