Its distinct charm comes from the elegant simplicity of its design, which strips away distractions to highlight the core challenge of trajectory and force.

Tips & Strategy
Neon Putts is all about judging distance and angle with precision. When you drag to aim and power, pay close attention to the trajectory line and the power meter. Don't just pull back as far as possible; instead, make small, controlled adjustments. Overpowering a shot is a common mistake that sends your ball far past the hole.
For each putt, first assess the slope and distance to the hole. A good strategy is to aim for a shot that would just barely reach the hole if it were flat, then adjust for any inclines or declines. On longer putts, it's often better to under-hit slightly and have a short second putt than to overshoot and face a long return. The minimalist physics mean that every degree of angle and unit of power makes a significant difference.
Consider using the edges of the course for bank shots on tricky layouts. Sometimes a wall bounce can guide your ball into an otherwise inaccessible spot. Practice is key to developing an intuitive feel for the power required for various distances. Focus on consistency and controlled inputs rather than brute force. Aim for par on every hole, and those birdies will start to come naturally.
