About this game

Boson X is a fast-paced rotational runner set in a particle accelerator.

Quantum jump from Planck to Planck as you build up speed inside an enormous particle accelerator and generate high-energy collisions to discover strange new particles. Use precise timing and fast reflexes to navigate a hazardous subatomic world where floors and ceilings don't exist.

Ratings and reviews

Quite possibly one of the most addictive runner arcade games I've played. The idea that you're literally discovering new molecules appeals to my obsession with quantum mechanics as well. I suck pretty badly at the game, but I can't stop playing it. Well done, devs! I do agree that some sort of progression (power ups, character upgrades, etc.) would improve the game, but I think it's great as it is.

Something like this definitely needs to have rewards. Runners aren't really my favorite genre anyway, but I like them sometimes for a little while. With this though, there isn't really much in the way of rewards, like outfit pieces or chatacters or anything from what I can gather, so it lost my attention after the 2nd level. Something like this needs more to hold many player's attention. Granted, there are some that like runners just for the sheer concept, but I always like some customization.

I have played the hell out of this game, it is highly addictive. Having passed 100% on each level I've now nearly got to 200% on each level, and will keep going til it becomes near impossible to score higher. I see a lot of people saying there's a lot that's luck based, but from what I can tell the game incorporates a lot of patterns which once you learn you can pretty consistantly hit over 100% on any level
