Simon Neon

Straight to the point: Simon Neon is patterns that speed up every level, down to 300 ms per flash, playable in your browser right now. It is tuned for quick runs, honest difficulty, and controls that make sense the first time you touch them.

What makes Simon Neon different

Each level adds one step to the light pattern, and the playback gets faster as the level climbs. You watch, you repeat, and one wrong tap ends the run. The patterns that speed up every level, down to 300 ms per flash, so late rounds feel less like a memory game and more like a reflex test.

Why Simon Neon sticks

It suits anyone with a queue to wait in or a kettle to watch: students between classes, commuters, parents stealing ten quiet minutes. There is no meta-progression to lose and nothing to catch up on - a week away costs you nothing but a little sharpness.

How to play

1. Press play and watch the pads flash in order.
2. Tap the same sequence back to clear the level.
3. Each level adds one more step to the pattern.
4. One wrong tap ends the run - your best level is saved locally.

Where it sits

Repeat the light pattern. It speeds up every level.

A note on the sticker

Simon Neon is filed under Teka Shelf, and the decision comes down to one tag set: memory, reflex, pattern. Those three words are the whole reason it is not sitting somewhere else.

It is rated 4.5 out of five in our notes, and the number is held up mostly by how quickly it can be restarted rather than by how clever it is.

The companion game to try afterwards is Simon Sprint: same family, different emphasis, and together they show what the Teka Shelf is actually good at.
