It's kind of brilliant to design a game around speedruns, so every time someone breaks a level, you have that tiny voice in the back of your head wondering if you're still just dancing in the developer's palm.
This is so fascinating to see! As opposed to most other games showcased here, this one is MADE for speedrunning and you can see that in the dev commentary. It's incredibly beautiful to see!
So glad these devs understand that in the years it takes people to fully optimize these levels the community will spend just as much time on the levels as the devs have
Easily a top 10 favorite game of mine. Perfect fit for casual speedrunning and very engaging gameplay and the soundtrack makes it such a vibe. Hope they make the leaderboard more navigable.
loving this game so far (with the exception of estate....) cool idea idea might dlc where you play as the other colored neons with their own unique weapons.... could be cool to have character leader boards and such
3:20 "Hidden" is an understatement. It took me a year and a half of playing this game to find out that there was a parry mechanic...I was so amaze. Lmao.
Getting author medals for every one of the maps became insanely difficult. Was having to get into top 2500 on leader boards for them. Love the game though!
This is the Level Rush mode, which is just the levels back to back with none of the in-between stuff. It's unlocked after completing the game and has its own leaderboards.
It actually works with every weapon. you can parry your own bullets.... of every weapon. Something called a ghost bullet. This also applies to enemies.... you can parry enemy bullets... twice its faster to fireball into stairs than into ground as stairs are the slowest movement there is, maybe as fast as regular falling
As someone who finished the story yesterday on the xbox version, I’m not even a quarter of the way into the video and I’m flabbergasted. Holy movement and precision Edit: so glad that the mimics were changed, original way would’ve been brutal
Neon White is when you resurrect Mirror's Edge into modern day jackassery of a first person sorcerer people wanted to see and then make it divide people because of forgiveness towards abuser.
Every other developer: We did not intend for that to break like that.
Neon White Devs: JUST AS PLANNED!

Yeah! And since EVERYBODY has to speedrun to play the game, you have a far greater understanding of the work it took to get these times.
Made for speedrunning but the devs have completely abandoned the speedrun community for a year now 😭
@@DempseyDaProI mean they got new ventures
after being part of the speedrun community in the demo this is definitely my favorite devs react to speedrun episode
So glad these devs understand that in the years it takes people to fully optimize these levels the community will spend just as much time on the levels as the devs have
More time
The laws of speedrunning:
If it has health, it can die.
If it has bomb jumps, it can optimize.
If it has devs, you can shock them.
If it’s a open area, It can skip the entire level
If the game exists,then there are devs
If there are, then there is
@@camaku3084 if, then
@@Numbabu ⠀
Can't wait for someone to TAS this game to see the absolute madness you can pull off
There's probably lacking collisions on a few corners or pixels so yeah probably gonna break the game to under 10minutes
Machine girl did such an awesome job with the soundtrack HOLY
Any Rush feelers in the chat?
I’ve played the game, went to their show organized by a friend, had hell of fun, discovered way after they were the same guys lol
@@ShadowOfOurHearts some heaven aimers too
GOTY for me. Was so fun to run through and try and get best times with such fluid movement
same but man is the dialogue so corny
@@Garmond_Zaza_Fan I'm pretty sure the dialogue was meant to be extremely corny
@@ogretime why do you think that?
@@gxrsky Pretty much every character was stereotypically made so I’m sure it’s meant to be corny.
@@isaiah7106 They made it corny so you would speedrun through the story 🙃
They should really make a level creator.
Yes
Yes

Nah

"Aim for the heavens!" the sondtrack is such a banger.
the book of life levels were so fun to watch, their attitude when somebody teleports through solid objects was genuinely so funny to watch.
They’re so much fun to play, too. Not only are they hilariously OP, but they’re very forgiving of mistakes too.
got an ace rank on every level and 100%d the collectibles, had no clue destroying bullets gave you a boost…
time to go for all dev time medals, or really strong individual level times! :p
and then install neon lite and get even better medals@@InamorastraStardustLucille
"What did you think the world record would be?"
"Like 10 minutes."
just watching the speedrun feels so well, like a calm visual asmr where all pieces go in the right spot and is very cool to hear the devs opinate
so cool how every level from a game designed to make you speed through it sticks perfectly in your memory
My man Azorae, doing amazing runs as always. His Talos Principle runs are also very fun :D
Speedrunners are amazing. This game itself is such a nice gift to the speedrunning community!
Hell yes, my personal goty so far 💙
loved dunkey's video on it
Just picked this up last night and can’t stop playing….Finally something unique and fun
@@cherrycrystalssilvertears the gameplay is fun? Idk. The original doom also had a forgettable story
@@cherrycrystalssilvertears you must hate minecraft then since there's barely any story
@@cherrycrystalssilvertears this is a platformer game not an rpg
Shout out to Machine Girl for making an amazing soundtrack!
loving this game so far (with the exception of estate....) cool idea idea might dlc where you play as the other colored neons with their own unique weapons.... could be cool to have character leader boards and such
Even the developers reaction wasn't as fast as that speedrun. Still aced it.
devs who actually play their games just make me so happy.
Props to IGN, only found out about this game from this video and I’ve been playing and loving it so far!
Level designers: Yeaaaaah there's no collision there... Or anywhere... We don't have collision in our game lol
Love this game. Insane speedrun~
this game could be the next Mario Maker if they made a level creator
That would place it in my top 3 games of all time if they would do that.
3:20 "Hidden" is an understatement.
It took me a year and a half of playing this game to find out that there was a parry mechanic...I was so amaze. Lmao.
Watching this video now and just realized it lmao
This is my favorite game, and it's one of the few I've 100%, but seeing how fast these guys can go... makes me sad inside. That was incredible
Some of the routes have gotten even crazier. I'd love to see them do something like this again.
This is so cool to see. Devs being genuinely excited by people pushing their games mechanics to the absolute limit
A game for speedrunners, by speedrunners, watching a speedrunner do things they didn't even know you could do in their own game lol
Hopefully we can get more of these new games speedruns
These Developer Reacts videos are so nice to watch
Getting author medals for every one of the maps became insanely difficult. Was having to get into top 2500 on leader boards for them. Love the game though!
My GOTY as well. It's a masterpiece. Glad to see my strats were the same as the WR on some levels.
What's goty?
@@Manas2222 ‘Game of The Year’ iirc
@@thebest-360_5 what is iirc? 🙂
I'm sorry I'm kinda dumb when it comes to abbreviations.
Btw thanks for the goty one.
this was one of the best games ive played in years no joke. its so fuckin cool
Old mimic looked cool, but yeah the new one fits the fast paced vibe more
These devs are precious
the devs seem so cool honestly
As trackmania simply teaches. Time spent in the air is time not spent accelerating.
This is such a nice commentary lol
The current WR is 28m57s wow
29:57
Please play this game guys
How is he able to go on to thr next level skipping all the xp, cutscenes etc? Also he's doing almost all the wr routes this run is insane

they either say “this is so old” or “we added that at the last minute”

great episode
this game is actually a piece of art
19:29 Your wish has come true sir.
You should have them back on and have them react to the special character levels
Yesss
devs sound hot
As someone who finished the story yesterday on the xbox version, I’m not even a quarter of the way into the video and I’m flabbergasted. Holy movement and precision
Edit: so glad that the mimics were changed, original way would’ve been brutal
Pure fun action.
GOTY for me also! love this game to bits!
This is gonna be so cool
such an amazing game
This is gonna be fun
AIM FOR THE HEAVENS
*NEON WHITE*
looks like a game to send messaging to the brain to go and become a vtuber
The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love your decisions. ♡
Yeah yeah but the machine girl OST!!!!!
Jesus christ the amount of bots in this comment section
Wait what, what already?
Note: it was all intended
literally my GOTY. still so underappreciated
why does the level rush skip the level before the final boss fight?
it's basically an autoscroller
So nice sharing 🤩
The power of speedrunners compel you! The power of speedrunners- WHOOUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH COMPEL YOU!
meanwhile me who didn't even know that you could switch the card you are holding intel the end of the game: wut
I think they should add a map creator for the people, like mario maker
🤘🏻😎👍🏻
Still wild that these are the same guys who made TattleTale.
The one dev sounds like malf lmao
How did they completely skip Sacrifice? It's the second-longest level in the game and they didn't even play it
Sacrifice is just not available in White/Micky Level Rushes.
long time not see speedrun series
The game literally looks like a 1st person sonic game lmao
pretty accurate comparison tbh. this game’s gameplay is way better tho
Is "Only Shallow" a reference to the My Bloody Valentine song of the same name?
19:51
what happened here. there's a guardian he missed but he still moved on.
mimic chest shot it
....is russell actually funke? if not, their voices and interests are pleasantly coincidental :)
Oh boy
Pretty cool
When u want to play game, but u have only 2hr to refund
😫uhhhhwaaaaaaah!!! *(Finishes the speed run and stops screaming)*
More Neon Violet trap rooms when?
Cool
Christ this game is so much better with 0 story lmao
This game was robbed game of the year it’s incredibly
those rocket jumps looks like theyre straight from tf2 lol
you mean straight from QUAKE?
I’m this was made by Nintendo they would sue the speed runner for using glitches
25:56
Awesome run , uh uhh.. "insert witty comment"
Neon White is when you resurrect Mirror's Edge into modern day jackassery of a first person sorcerer people wanted to see and then make it divide people because of forgiveness towards abuser.

6:25 “stomp” slower than a diamond there 19.5 seconds
want second part of this game!!!
Everything is intentional.
Dev React Rain World Speedrun?
They’re pretty funny haha
Alpharad noises
he's a covert narcissis
