    FOTONICA is simple, but is not easy: it follows a tradition of arcade games that are easy to pick up and almost impossible to master. A multi-layered level design across eight different tracks, together with a procedural endless mode make for a game that is incredibly deep. Think you can outrun your friends? Try the split-screen versus challenges.

    The visuals are a treat for the nostalgic player but also for those hungry for new aesthetics. Every pixel is drawn to convey the maximum sense of speed, an exhilarating journey through light and void.    … Expand

    Fotonica brings a minimal design with an original concept, with a level of depth that you wouldn't imagine for a single-button game. The PC version is now also enjoyable with up to other three players, thanks to the improvement to the local split-screen multiplayer.

    Despite simplistic controls, Fotonica transports players into a beautiful vector landscape that they’ll inhabit for hours.

    FOTONICA is a one-button endless runner that knows how to hypnotize the player with its wonderful trance music and well-implemented vectorial graphics.

    It feels good and the minimalistic visuals draw you in, but soundtrack and content are disappointing.

    It's a great way to kill some time if you're bored, and when you get into your groove you can keep on playing it for a pretty long time.    … Expand

    While both graphics and music are extremely fitting and well made once you finish the game you have 2 choices to continue playing it: try to "beat" the game (100% complete) or enjoy 3 "simple" (as in not-complex) endless mode maps.

    So if you're the "achievement" guy who wants everything 100% complete you may have earned yourself a lot more playtime, otherwise you will get bored pretty soon playing the same "simple" endless maps.
    Procedurally generated levels with themes from the arcade one would have gotten this game 10/10.

    That said every bit of time I spent on this game was fun and, probably, even the time I'm going to spend on it when I want to relax a bit will be fun just as much.
    Totally recommended to anyone.    … Expand

    Although I liked the feeling of speed in Fotonica it was so hard I couldn't get past level 2. That failure is on me I guess. Still even if IAlthough I liked the feeling of speed in Fotonica it was so hard I couldn't get past level 2. That failure is on me I guess.
