We would like to announce the release of the version 1.5 of our smash hit iPhone, iPod touch and iPad light-tracing game,Neon Mania. This latest update delivers a host of exciting new features that vastly expand the game's scope.
"Over the last few months we've worked hard to bring loads of new level packs to Neon Mania," explains Vivid Games presidentRemigiusz Koscielny, "but in version 1.5 we wanted to add more than new levels, so we've built on Neon Mania's creative groundwork to offer a platform that players can use to develop their own playable art."

This creative addition to Neon Mania 1.5 is accompanied by a competitive new edge in the two playerHead-to-Head Mode, which puts finger-painting illumination engineers against each other on the same device, on the same screen, and at the same time.
"Neon Mania has become incredibly popular thanks to its relaxing, chill-out gameplay," says designerBartosz Biniecki, "but because version 1.5 is adding such significant new functionality to the game, we also wanted a more competitive, electrifying game mode to counterbalance Neon Mania's tranquil nature."
