![]() ![]() While this game doesn't a lot, I can't seem to find a lot of bad things to say about it aside from no real replay material implemented into it. The music that plays in the six stages is also pretty fine as well. if you're into games like this one, of course. Up until you reach a certain point, the game provides a nice, minimalistic and basic gameplay that can be enjoyed. At first glance, I truly thought I had what it took to beat it, to little avail. All this game really needs is mind power and complete concentration.īoson X has proven its to be a worthy challenge, taking nearly months to actually beat all levels (for me anyways). This task, as you progress, isn't as easy as it seems as newer stages bring forth new obstacles, may it be moving white flats, fragile red flats, thick walls, and even rings that emit electric currents. The goal is to run along blue platforms that emerge from the endless void around you, building up enough energy to spark a particle. It seems that the objective is to help two (or three if you consider a robot one) scientists discover three particles by traveling through some visual starfield. An fast-paced indie platformer that requires a lot of memorization of patterns to get you through. I had lots of fun so far and I expect to 100% the game in a few days.īoson X. I'm sure the graphics are WAY too simple for a lot of people but the game is just 3 dollars full price. * Good replayability if you care about score attack and leaderboards. Latter stages are quite hard though! Still, it would've been cool to have some weird achievements or even some score attack ones to push you to try harder. ![]() ![]() ![]() * Achievements aren't something so special here, they're all about you beating a stage. No flaws in framerate nor stuttering or anything. * Excellent port of what I suppose is an iOS game. You can move with the triggers, the shoulder buttons, the directional pad and the analog, they're all supported at the same time. You can just plug in your Xbox 360 controller and be ready to play. * Good soundtrack! It's kinda electronic-something, I don't know, it sounds good enough in game and it changes dynamically (The more upbeat version plays when you reach over 100% of energy). * Simple graphics, which means it can run on any toaster and wont bother you while going at full speed. Once you reach 100% of energy you're free to collide against something or fall to end a stage, otherwise you can keep going and try to reach a higher score. The goal is to get as much energy as possible by running on the blue tiles while avoiding any collisions or bottomless pits. You cannot move more than 1 tile to the sideways without landing first though. You're basically running through an endless tubular map and you jump to either side or straight up and you can jump higher by holding the button/direction pressed. Jumping forward and side to side are dealt with in about seven seconds of tutorial flashes in the first level, and from there you're on your own, Mister/Miss/Missus/Mizz Scientist.If you like the "runner" genre you'll love this one. It's a simple game, conveniently so since as I write this I'm suffering from an AC joint dislocation and can barely use my right hand (and don't ask me how long it took me to type this), with the cursor keys the only controls you need. This is gameplay pared down to a pure and simple form Occam’s Razor taken to the run and jump genre.īoson X gives uncultured louts like your correspondent a whimsical and totally false mental image of what happens in a particle accelerator, and piles an overflowing laboratory trolley of fun on top as our little hero (or heroine) runs full-tilt through a danger-infested Large Hadron Collider-type affair to build up energy and unlock particles. Simplicity and ramping difficulty are key players in this game, which eschews the bells, whistles and fripperies of bonuses and rewards in an appropriately scientific just the facts sort of way. This particular endless runner takes a graphical style begging to be described as 'Super Hexagon meets Another World' and sees the player in charge of a miniature scientist taking a really hands-on interest in particle-colliders. Mu and Heyo's Boson X is a runny, jumpy platformer of the breed that has been made world-famous by games like the viral leviathan that is Temple Run, and like all of its brethren a spiritual successor to the modern classic Canabalt. Being a physicist never looked so exhausting. ![]()
