A little about the gameMeet Neon Commando: Run and Gun
Run and gun through four neon districts as Nova. Your blaster locks on and fires by itself, so you just run, jump and grab drone weapons to beat each zone guardian.
How to play Neon Commando: Run and Gun
Your blaster aims at the nearest enemy in view and fires on its own, so you only run and jump. Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD run, Space (or X or K) jumps. Hold Up or Down to aim yourself, Down alone to lie prone, or Down plus a jump to drop through a ledge; Z or J adds shots when nothing is in view. Touch: drag anywhere on the left of the screen to run and tap anywhere on the right to jump; drag up or down to aim yourself, and hold the drag down while you tap to drop through a ledge. A weapon pickup also works as armour: a hit costs the pickup instead of a life. With the plain rifle a hit costs a life; you have three lives and earn another every 15,000 points. Shoot supply drones to drop a weapon capsule and walk into it to pick it up. Every zone is a new district that ends with a guardian you must destroy to move on, and each one is busier than the last. Try the Konami code on a keyboard for a surprise.
A tip for your next run
Keep a weapon pickup: it soaks up one hit for you. Stand still for a moment to let the auto-aim clear enemies behind you, and drop to the lower ledge to dodge a guardian's fan of shots.
What is a run and gun game?
A run and gun game is a side-scrolling shooter where you keep moving, jumping and firing at the same time instead of stopping to aim. Neon Commando: Run and Gun follows that formula with an auto-aiming blaster, weapon drops that double as armour and a guardian at the end of every zone.
How do you play Neon Commando: Run and Gun?
Run right through a night city as Nova while your blaster locks on to the nearest enemy and fires by itself. Jump between ledges, clear the pits and grab weapon capsules from supply drones. Each zone is a new district that ends with a guardian you must destroy before the screen scrolls on.
Can you play Neon Commando on a phone?

What are the Neon Commando keyboard controls?
Use the arrow keys or WASD to run and Space, X or K to jump. Aim and fire are automatic; hold Up or Down to aim yourself in eight directions, and Z or J fires even with nothing in view. Hold Down alone to lie prone, or press Down with a jump to drop through a ledge. Escape pauses and ? opens help.
What weapons are in Neon Commando?
You start with a rifle. Shoot a floating supply drone to drop a capsule, then walk into it for Spread (five-way fan), Laser (piercing beam), Rapid (fast fire) or Flame (orbiting fireballs). A pickup also takes one hit for you, which drops you back to the rifle instead of costing a life.
How many lives do you get in Neon Commando?
You start with three lives and earn one more every 15,000 points. With the rifle, any enemy, bullet or pit costs a life; holding a weapon pickup, an enemy or bullet only costs the pickup. Pits always cost a life. You respawn with a short spell of protection and the default rifle.
