Boson X reviews and comments

This Game is extremely hard. Probably something for Masochists who are happy when they try to dice a 24 with a Deltoidalikositetraeder, and you step into their Groin with a start at every other Number. over and over again... Now some will say, "Maybe you're just too slow, so the Game isn't bad after all!" But I'm not saying it's bad at all, I just can't recommend it because in my Opinion there's a Difference to other heavy Games, such as Super Meat Boy, which I like very much by the way, despite the high Degree of difficulty. As you can see in the Video On the Shop Page, you run through randomly generated levels that you complete by reaching 100%. As soon as you make a Mistake, you start again at 0%. However, the Percentage only increases if you walk across the blue Fields, which-and this is the hook-also appear randomly on the Track. So You may be getting very far but unfortunately no blue Fields appear, and that's extremely frustrating. Super Meat Boy, on the other hand, never frustrated me, no matter how many times I failed at a Level, because I always knew where the (operating) error was. And conversely, it was all the more satisfying if I had made it at some point, because I knew it was a Reward for the Perseverance I invested to finally master this particularly tricky Place. Boson X doesn't give me any Motivation to keep trying it because ultimately luck decides. Which is a shame, because I actually like the innovative Game idea quite well. As a possibly comparable Game, I recommend instead: BIT. TRIP Presents ... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien

A fun and highly additive game that you'll be playing until you fall asleep. If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest you do right away! My favorite game by far!

This game is really really awesome and it is super fun and amazing but it would help if you add easy, medium, hard modes because it goes a little bit too fast. Best game ever!!!

... you are not asked for the password if you have just entered it for another purchase .. if you don't know how to use your iphone, it's the apple or the developers' fault, I think it's obvious. Let us dwell on the huge theft of less than 2 euros ... how much did you pay for your cell phone? Mah .. take yourself back.

I think it's great, for a level I've used as many as 215 attempts: D The high level of difficulty is my motivation, but sometimes frustrates a lot. I am at the 5th level and only see 6 levels in total, I hope there is more, otherwise it might be a bit short.

I finally finished the game and sincrement I hope that there will be new levels ... The last levels may be complicated once you know what the level can offer what we thought impossible becomes surmountable! Original levels and a big pride once the level ends! So a big congratulations to the developer and if there is new level I will be the first to play ^^ 5 canvas well deserved

Celebrating the discovery of the Higgs boson, the so-called particle of god that gives mass to the particles and allows the latter to exist, born boson x. The two characters are obviously researchers (a man and a woman to be precise), who run in a particle accelerator. The aim of the game is to pass over blue areas that increase the energy of the collider. When you get to the%, finish the level and unlock others. Every time you redo the level, it changes. Good graphics and very nice layout. There is no advertising and it makes this game even more cute. Perfect for coach travel (scientifically tested!). Thanks for the attention.
