Head-to-head neon block puzzle duels: three rounds, hidden scores, highest total wins, all on your own schedule.

Short, about 50 words

Neon Poly Duo is a head-to-head block puzzle game. Challenge a friend to a three-round duel and play whenever you like; duels are asynchronous, so nobody waits around. Round scores stay hidden until both players have played, and the highest total across all three rounds takes the match. Free to play, launching September 23, 2026 on iOS and Android.

Long, about 150 words

Neon Poly Duo is an upcoming head-to-head block puzzle game for iOS and Android. Rotate, drag, and place glowing polyomino pieces to clear lines against the clock, chaining combos and building heat for bigger scores.

Duels run three rounds and are fully asynchronous: challenge a friend by username or get matched, jump into round 1 immediately, and play each round on your own schedule. A rival's round score stays hidden until you have played that round too, and the highest total across all three rounds wins, so a rough round never knocks you out and a huge one can steal the match.

Three intensities set the heat: Classic is pure skill with no power-ups, Blitz runs faster clocks with limited power-ups, and Chaos opens up power-ups and wild boards. Around the duel sit bot Rivals with their own styles, a daily challenge, rotating events, a season pass, creature ranks, leaderboards, and solo ghost races against friends' best runs.

Key features

  • Async three-round duels. Challenge a friend by username or get matched, then play each round whenever you like. Nobody waits around.
  • Hidden scores. You cannot see a rival's round score until you have played that round too, so there is no soft targeting a known number.
  • Highest total takes it. All three rounds count. A rough round never knocks you out, and a huge one can steal the match.
  • Three intensities. Classic is pure skill with no power-ups, Blitz brings faster clocks and sharper pressure, and Chaos adds power-ups and wild boards.
  • Power-ups earned by playing. Collect charges, then spend them the moment the board needs bending.
  • Rivals. Bot opponents with their own styles, ready for a best-of-three whenever you are.
  • Always something to clear. A fresh daily challenge, streaks, chests, rotating events (gauntlets, ladders, and Neon Block Parties), and a season pass with free and premium tracks.
  • Make it yours. Creature ranks and an avatar studio, plus daily, weekly, and event leaderboards.
