    Boson X will not offer you a bread crumb trail of rewards or new hats. It's not going to ask you to come back every day for a daily reward, and it has no IAP to sell you. Its only offer to you is the challenge of unlocking all the stages, and beating the best scores you and your friends have set down. Yet, somehow, through a mix of style and very measured mechanics, it's an amazingly compelling game.

    Fans of endless runners will feel right at home here. There’s a slight sense of repetition, but the surreal art direction and high intensity gameplay provides a good level of difficulty, which helps Boson X stand out.

    A spectacular kick in the teeth of the endless-runner genre, Boson X is a brilliant, twitching wonder.

    Whether you enjoyed Super Hexagon or not, Boson X is a game that needs, nay, requires a place on your mobile device. Its manic split-second gameplay will reel you in, while the thought of someday topping the leaderboards will keep you coming back time and time again.

    Don’t be fooled, this is not an endless runner that will have you snoozing in the back of the lecture hall.

    Boson X is easier than quantum mechanics, but don’t call it easy.

    An enjoyable score-chasing auto-runner that will delight and frustrate simultaneously.

    Even though the randomly-generated levels can sometimes seem to be unfair in their layout, the intense rush draws you back in, making Boson X an ideal game for mobile masochists.

    Boson X is a fast paced endless runner with a nice spin on things that is challenging above all else. With that said, there are some design flaws that detract from the overall experience making it worth considering for some tempered enjoyment.
