About this app
Small moves. Great heights. Neon Ascent is an endless sliding-number adventure with sculpted 3D tiles, kinetic merge effects and an original adaptive electronic soundtrack. Start on a 4×4 field. Forge bigger tiles to cross successive checkpoints, celebrate with confetti and a fanfare, and open one new row and column. Each new level retires the smallest tile tier, clears those tiles and raises the starting value of new tiles, keeping your larger tiles and score. Zoom, fit or pan your expanding field, charge a Pulse to clear space, use Echo to rethink a move, and chase rotating side quests. A blocked board gets a free rescue so your run can continue. Play with swipes, keyboard or the on-screen pad. Resume locally, with account saves available when signed in through Hackemist.
Requirements
A modern browser with JavaScript, BigInt and CSS 3D transforms. Web Audio enables the optional original soundtrack. Works with touch, mouse or keyboard; no external account or service is required to play.
Credits
Original game implementation, neon visual design and procedural soundtrack created for pisty. Inspired by classic sliding-number merge puzzles. No third-party game code, music or assets.
Release notes
Checkpoint progression update: cross each successive tile checkpoint to earn one new row and column, celebrate with gold-and-teal effects, confetti and a new fanfare, then retire the smallest tile tier and raise the minimum value of new tiles. Keep larger tiles and exact scores. Echo restores the previous field, spawn tier and retired tiles. Existing runs migrate to the new checkpoint rules. Includes zoom, fit and pan, CSS 3D tiles, adaptive original soundtrack, Pulse rescue, side quests, keyboard and swipe play, reduced motion, local resume and Hackemist account-save integration.
