Creatively using and discarding these weapons opens up new paths that can shave seconds off your best time. Following the events of the Frontier War, the bloody Apex Games are in full swing, drawing in legends from all across the Frontier to fight for fame, glory, and riches Shooter.
As another example, a rifle called Godspeed can be chucked to dash horizontally across gaps and through barriers, but you're going to want to no-scope the demons on the other side first. Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale set in the Titanfall universe and taking place after the events of Titanfall 2. You can sacrifice a pistol to jump in mid-air, for example, and reaching certain ledges requires tossing multiple pistols aside. The cool part of that twist is that discarding a weapon card activates a special move. The big difference is that Lovely Planet equips you with a pellet gun, whereas you can pick up new weapons, represented by cards, as you move through levels in Neon White. Your goal is the same in both: Run and jump toward each level's finish line as fast as you can without leaving any enemies alive. It's a lot like one of my favorite games, Lovely Planet. Early levels are as short as 10 seconds, but with more effort and ingenuity, maybe that can be 9.8 seconds? Several of my Steam friends have clearly spent some time replaying Neon White levels, striving for a perfect run. It's hard to resist the urge to replay a level until you take the top spot on your friends leaderboard, besting someone you met in Team Fortress 2 a decade ago for reasons it feels impossible to explain.
Neon White's story is advanced through visual novel-style conversations, which is either a main attraction or just a wrapper for its FPS platforming levels, depending on your perspective.
