To quote: In Neo Trail you control a ship that is constantly moving forward. Once you pass over a square on the grid it will begin to raise up. If you get pushed up onto the top of a fully raised block then the game will reset.

The high score is displayed but not saved.

I’m not sure if it’s similar enough to be considered a clone (although that is what it was originally going to be) but it’s obviously inspired by that movie. You know the one.

Later I might add split screen multiplayer and/or an NPC to play against.

PS3 controls:

• Analog sticks = Turn

For the haters though I'll probably be making and posting something else that's simple but more of an actual game and less lolwut some time soon.

PS3 controls:

• Left analog stick = Move
  
• X Button = Jump
