Latest Steam announcements

  • First Update in 3 Years! - 6 May 2023

    After taking some time off from developing Neon Aileron, I have resumed work on the game at the beginning of 2023. This update directly addresses some items that were brought up in reviews for the game. Level 8 – Level 8 is a boss rush level and previously level 8 was only available if you played on “hard” difficulty. This level also had a “true last boss.” Because of this, I don’t think many players saw the level or the final boss. I decided to make this level available for all difficulties to make the game more enjoyable for all skill levels. Widescreen – Neon Aileron was original presented in 4:3 aspect ratio to resemble retro games. I decided to change to 16:9 aspect ratio after playing a couple of modern games with pixel graphs that presented and felt very comfortable in this ratio. The result was that Neon Aileron should feel less crowded when there are many enemies on screen. All…

  • Patch Release: Leaderboard Fix and Damage System Settings - 11 January 2020

    A new patch has been released that allows players to modify the damage system. A player can now reduce the number of hits a ship can take or turn off the damage system for additional challenge. This setting is located in the Setup menu and can only be changed before starting a game. Bonus points are given at the end of each level for playing with the damage system turned down. Part of this patch has also been dedicated to correcting some issues with the leaderboards. The leaderboard was accepting new scores, but it was only showing the top 5. This has been corrected. Thanks to Twitch user NipzyGG who posted a video of this behavior. Version 1.3 Corrected leaderboard load issues. Leaderboards were set to only retrieve the top 5 scores. Any scores previously submitted were intact, but were just not displaying. Found and resolved an issue that would cause the leaderboard to partially load.…

  • Patch Released - 9 January 2020

    Playtesting uncovered some issues with 2 player mode that warranted a mid-week patch. This also provided the opportunity to include the fully mastered soundtrack in the game. Version 1.2 Updated sound files to mastered soundtrack provided by Von Hertzog Corrected several issues with 2 player mode that caused the second ship not to operate and recognize points properly.

  • Patch Released for Minor Issues - 4 January 2020

    Neon Aileron has been updated to correct a few minor issues. See details below: Version 1.1 Corrected an issue that prevented previous month leaderboards from loading. Fixed an issue where lasers were not properly colliding with Queen Bee boss. Added a target hint to Monarch butterfly boss to help players predict fire blade attack location. Added version number to config menu for visibility. Note: The story mode patch is coming later this month.

  • Neon Aileron Released - Story Patch Coming Later - 1 January 2020

    Neon Aileron has officially been released. The game includes 8 levels and about 30 minutes worth of gameplay. Monthly leaderboards are also active, so come post a high score! One item of note: the game currently only has the "arcade mode" active, which provides a quick playthrough with no story. I'm still working through the story panels and will provide the "story mode" later this month as an update to the game. -Vince Saturday Development

  • Free Soundtrack Included with Neon Aileron - 14 December 2019

    Since the game and the soundtrack were designed together, Von Hertzog and Saturday Development have decided to include a free copy of the soundtrack with every game purchased on Steam. After you have installed Neon Aileron, you will find the full soundtrack in the Soundtrack folder in the location the game is installed. Let us know if you have any issues finding it. The soundtrack will also be available on its own on Von Hertzog's Bandcamp page: https://vonhertzog.bandcamp.com/

  • Late November Update - 2 Player Co-Op - 29 November 2019

    With Steam announcing Remote Play Together, I was inspired to complete the two player co-op mode for Neon Aileron. Two player mode does not increase enemy HP, enemy count, or boss HP, making the game easier to take on for new players. Two players of any skill level should be able to comfortably play through a quick game on Normal difficulty in about half an hour.

  • November Update - Full Controller Customization Available - 24 November 2019

    This month I took some time and added a very important piece of functionality: full controller binding support. Neon Aileron now has a menu that will allow players to select a controller and also change any of the buttons used for direction or action controls. Below is a screenshot of the new menu, which can be accessed from either the start menu or the pause menu. I went with a simple text-based menu to save time, but it definitely gets the job done. During this process, myself and some play testers were able to validate the below controllers: XBox 360 Wireless Controller XBox 360 Wired Controller XBox One Wireless Controller iNNEXT SNES Controller If anyone has any additional controllers they would like to see tested, feel free to post it to the Discussions section.

  • Countdown to Release - October Update - 15 October 2019

    With the release date (January 1st) of Neon Aileron rapidly approaching, we wanted to provide some updates on how the game is going. Five and a half levels are complete, with one level just needing a boss and corresponding boss soundtrack. These levels will comprise the main six levels of the game. There will be 3 additional levels that will serve as end levels for each of the pilots the player can select. We also added an Arcade mode, which will allow the player to do a quick, linear playthrough of the game without the interlevel menus and story. This adds a pace to the game that is reminiscent of old arcade games where there is more action and less downtime. Current playtime for this mode (with the six initial levels) is around 20 minutes. With the final levels added, we hope to get the playtime up to 25 minutes for the final release. To close, we wanted to share a quick screenshot fr…

  • Release Delayed to 2020 - 6 May 2019

    We wanted to let everyone know that we are delaying the release of Neon Aileron to January 1st, 2020. Producing a game part-time can be very difficult and we don't want to rush this game to market. Neon Aileron was previously slated for a June 3rd, 2019 release, however the game is not where it needs to be to make it a meaningful experience. The remainder of 2019 will be used for the following: Level Creation - 4 levels are currently complete and the game is slated to release with at least 8 levels. Controller Support - Support for common controllers and remappable buttons are a top priority for release. Gameplay Trailer Release - A full trailer is needed to showcase gameplay and additional level content to give players a feel for the game. Continued Gameplay Testing - Additional playtesting is needed, not just to ensure the game is released without bugs, but to ensure the game is balan…

Short description

Neon Aileron is a shoot 'em up for people who are bad at shoot 'em ups. Enjoy the forgiving gameplay and 16-bit era graphics while shooting lots of enemies that spawn to the soundtrack!

About this game

Neon Aileron is a retro-style shooter where enemies spawn to the beat of the music. Neon Aileron was created to evoke memories of playing older shooters that pre-date the bullet-hell genre. We call this bullet-lite, because the focus is on shooting enemies instead of dodging complex bullet patterns. Neon Aileron is great for players who are new to the shoot 'em up genre or those who haven't a played a horizontal shooter in a while. The forgiving damage system and multiple difficulty levels allow the game to scale to the player's skill level. Switch to the Hard difficulty when you are ready for more of a challenge. Features Bullet-Lite Shoot 'Em Up - Spend more time shooting, less time dodging. Beginner Friendly - Easy and Normal difficulties are available for entry-level players looking for a fun playthrough. Switch to Hard difficulty for an extra challenge. Leaderboards - All-Time and monthly leaderboards are available. Challenge friends to see who can get the highest score this month! Quick Arcade-Style Gameplay - A full game of Neon Aileron can be played in about 30 minutes, just like old-school arcade games. Synchronized Soundtrack - This game features a custom synth soundtrack by Von Hertzog. Enemies spawn to the beat of the music. Dynamic Damage System - Player jets can take damage and still keep flying. Adjust the damage system to take up to 4 hits, or turn it off altogether for an old-school experience and additional points. 3 Pilots To Choose From - Each pilot has their own unique jet and ability. Super Weapon - Charge your super weapon by collecting energy containers. Activate your super weapon to take out large enemies or large groups of enemies. Weapons - Unlock up to 5 secondary weapons that you can change on the fly. Local 2 Player Co-Op - Play locally with a friend, or remotely via Remote Play Together.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $3.99
  • Highest observed: $3.99

Neon Aileron's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $3.99, the highest is $3.99, and the first visible tracked price is $3.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Neon Aileron's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $3.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $3.99. The latest run records $3.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $3.99
  • Current list price: $3.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Neon Aileron at $3.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
