This is the best game in the App Store. Its simpleness and difficulty brings hours of joy. It is certainly an amazing game.
This game is a blast, the challenging levels never get too frustrating and never got old. One of our fav mobile games ever.
Bought this game years ago and still play it. Also we tend to pass it to youngsters and challenge them with the levels. Its really an excellent game and worth every penny.
This is one of our go-to games on our phone, as it’s excellent gameplay, unique music, and addictive nature really makes it a long-time favorite. However, we feel like there’s room for more levels. The lack of any real replay value once you beat all of the levels is a bit disappointing, but besides that, an excellent app that is great, but could be so much better. 8/10.
The game had been lagging on iPhone 11 Pro Max after update. The game itself is good, but please fix this it never happened before on much older devices.
This game is one of the best games ever made for a phone !!! We would go crazy and sell our soul if we get more new levels !!
This game has all the things that a runner has without all the bogus IAPs. Do yourself a solid and buy this game it’s worth!
We need cloud to save game! Pls.
While this game may seem cool at first, that’s really all it has going for it. As you sink your teeth into the later levels, it relies on tactics to make the game more difficult that end up being very frustrating instead of fun. For example, one of the levels changes the texture of the platforms so you can barley differentiate one from the other, that being the main difficult part of the level.
One of the hardest games we’ve played in a long time, the art and casual play style keep us coming back. Took us about 550 tries to beat the last level (anti x boson) but it feels incredibly rewarding. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge in a mobile game.
This is definitely the best runner game on the App Store. It provides a challenge unlike any other, and keeps you entertained better than other runners. It simply doesn’t get boring. It is not filled with adds, in app purchases or coins, which gives the whole gave a smooth, polished feel. Again, the best running game existing, get it.
We played this game so much that we have every level beaten. Please make more levels ^^
Such a great time! Thanx guys for making this game available ! We are looking forward to the new updates!
We don’t know we’re else we can say this, but the Anti Y Boson experiment sometimes spawns a laser in a section where only one platform is available. In the parts where there are two blue energy tiles, one directly above the other, a laser will spawn in the center and touch us. There aren’t any other paths we can take by the time we get hit. It’s preventing us from continuing. Leaving five stars anyways though because the game is great otherwise.
Thanks for the fix! Game rocks!!
Wonderful game, we love playing this game and comparing hi scores with friends via Game Center. If developers are looking at these reviews, could you please add M fI support for game pads? It would be amazing!
We love this game, and we don’t usually like this kind of game. The graphics, sound and music are great. We love the sci-fi like theme. The only thing we would like to suggest is a way to turn rapid blinking off in some of the levels, in a settings menu or otherwise. Between not having the best eyesight and being autistic with sensory sensitivity it is a little overwhelming to us. We know the blinking is probably meant to be challenging but maybe it could have slower blinking or be similar to the background.
Great game and fun but anti x boson will make you cry and scream and rage until you die.
Combine super hexagon with canabalt and you get this baby. Graphics are well done, fun gameplay, lots of replay value, challenging. What doesn’t this game do right? UPDATE: 2 updated since we’ve bought this game, means 12 additional crazy difficult levels. And two new characters! This developer obviously still has a passion for this game, as do we and hopefully many others. Boson X is just perfection. Thanks to the developer the price for this game is more than worth it.
This game is crazy insane. We loved every moment of it. We replay levels day after day because of their different challenges as interesting effects. This game is awesome.
Great music, design and the added iPhone 6 Plus support is appreciated. Thanks!
A great update for an awesome game. Though we wish the new content was more frequent, the quality of it makes it worthwhile.
This game is amazing don’t get us wrong. But your latest update ruined the resolution on the iPhone 5s. There are two black bars on either side that shrink the playable size. Fix this for 5 stars again.
We got the new update and it’s great, but we have an iPhone5 and it went back to iphone 4 optimization. We guess it’s a big?
Boson X is one of our favorite games. It’s really fun to play and super addicting. However, in the latest update that added support for iPhone 6 resolutions, it decreases the resolution on our iPhone 5S. In other words, the resolution that we’re stuck with right now is an iPhone 4 resolution. There are two black nothings on the edges of the screen, and since we have fat fingers and in used to using the whole screen to play boson x, we sometimes tap those black nothings and since nothing happens, we die. If you could fix this, then you deserve our 5 stars.
Love the game and was excited for more levels but the controls have had issues since we updated earlier today. It doesn’t always jump and occasionally jumps the wrong way when we touch the screen. Please fix this!
We have some of the highest ranks in Boson X but the anti Y Boson level has some issues. At some points the level is impossible and will kill you even if you played the level right. The lasers will stay over the only safe route and prevent you from actually finishing the level. Fix it now.
Why do we have black bars again? Pls fix, it’s unplayable now (since touch controls don’t register on the black bars)
Fun game, well done. Gets a bit difficult, but that’s not a problem, it’s a good thing. :)
This game is our absolute favorite app. However, as there is room for improvement, we will give our suggestions on ways to improve. 1. A button that turns the level into the 100% version. We get tired of having to constantly beat the level just to get to the 100% version. 2. More researchers. This may be asking too much, but I’d like to have more playable researchers. Maybe with different stats and such. But that’s about it. Great app, insanely addictive, 9.5/10.
This app has taken us a LOOOOONG time to complete. But in general, we love it. It is the best way to kill time despite the amount of times we’ve wanted to break our phone. More levels for this game would be great!
Great game, only problem is the absence of the anti- particle levels. We thought it would be a good idea to change graviton to gravitron, as anti- gravitron would be the PERFECT shout-out to VVVVVV, with the level physics and all (if you don’t get it, check out the steam version to get the joke.)
Boson X is really hard. It is a really hard game. You won’t beat this game, probably ever. You might not even be able to beat this game. You can get to the last level of the game, and that would be pretty amazing. It is a true test of skill. It has instant replay ability. There is just a really great feeling when you play the game of just constantly making the right decision at the last second and realize that you just avoided instantaneous death. That part is a blast. Music is really good. Got a really banging sound track that gets you into the different levels. We think you’ll really like it.
Amazing simple fun best runner out there.
This game is even better Could you add antimatter levels.
We hated this game until we figured out we were suppose to get as much blu as we can and we luv the music and the challenge.
We just play the last level and we wish another upgrade with new levels , one of the best games we love it.
Very fun and rewarding gameplay.
This game is mind blowing! Each level is unique in its pattern and puzzle. The colors… Oh boy! The COLORS!!! Seizure inducing utopia! This game is designed very well and has replayability (usually because you’re going to lose a bunch). This needs to go under your permanent gaming library. Oh yeah… Six new levels of the same different, if you know what we mean.
It is fun and contains no bs IAPs.
Most endless runners and reflex games rely on a part of the brain that chemically rewards almost-success the same as actual success. So that charge of anger you get when losing at Flippy Bird is on fact your reward for playing the game. Boson X is HARD. But doesn’t make you want to throw your phone at the wall.
Really fun easily worth the dollar.
Good game and it’s worth it now with the new levels.
