Is It Any Good?
NEON MANIA is one of those games that make no sense until you play. Once you play this one, you may find that there is something appealing about the way the images light up under your finger. The only problem is that the scoring is a bit nebulous. It's based on speed and accuracy, but it's not always clear how accurate you have been, especially when you don't make any obvious mistakes. The game has a built-in soundtrack, but players can choose to use their own music in the options menu. The game has almost 2,000 levels, with room for at least one more category of images (categories currently include Kids, Food, Signs, Landmarks, Sport, Party, Easter, Street, and Music). Although this doesn't have a particularly deep level of gameplay, it's entertaining enough to be a reasonable value.
