Schrodinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark

Despite some lazy level design, the game’s clever wit and vivid, animated design manages to create a unique and somewhat engaging experience.

Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark is a fun platformer that has an interesting quark system in place to make puzzle solving unique and engaging. The game isn’t perfect by any means, but it’s good and unique enough in certain areas to warrant at least a look.

Give this quirky little gem a chance and Schrödinger’s plucky little feline will almost certainly find a place in your heart.

While the game can drag after long periods of play, the overall fun and innovation of the game makes the effort a success.

Quantum Physics nerds are sure to get some nice laughs out of the jokes tossed into the story, while the rest of us will still laugh at Schrödinger’s Cat’s antics.

Schrödinger’s Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark is an amusing game that has just the right amount of challenge to keep it from being frustrating.

We had a mixed taste with this adventure of Schrödinger’s Cat into the subatomic world. The game has some problems if we see it as a platform game but on the bright side of the game we have an interesting experiment with its creative quark system that comes with challenging puzzles.

Schrodinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark seems like the perfect game for your kid to play. It’s a cute puzzle-platformer that can spark a scientific interest. Your kid could probably also look past the fact that it’s also a puzzle-platformer ripe with tacky one-liners, uninspired level design, and repetitive game play, all of which combine to ensure that it’s far from phystastic.

The platforming elements are completely tied into its puzzle system, so to appreciate the game, you’ll have to really love this one element of the game’s mechanics.

A very competent, but ultimately unremarkable game.

If it cut all the fat and featured only the smart puzzle-platforming found in the hand-designed levels, Raiders of the Lost Quark would be a leaner, more engaging, and ultimately much better game.

The Quark combo system is a clever and intuitive gameplay mechanic, which is sadly let down by basic design issues.

An entire game built around a paradox seemed like an interesting idea, sadly the final result isn't compelling enough. Everything is given to the player in the first minutes, so it lacks any feeling of real progression.

Italic Pig have bravely experimented with the traditional 2D platformer at an atomic level and to their credit came up with a bold idea, brimming with ideas and colour that works in theory. But while the research is solid, in practice the chemical compounds that make up the game don’t quite gel together.

It's an admirable premise that certainly aims to offer insight and accessibility to one of science's most intimidating concepts, but loses focus and steam in all of the wrong places.

Schrodinger's Cat boasts a novel mechanic with its quark system, but clunky platforming and unappealing graphics undermine its potential.

If the goal was to create a game that's both alive and dead at the same time--mission accomplished.

The platforming feels off, the puzzle solving is either too easy or too restrictive, and the humour regularly falls flat.

Schrodinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark isn't terrible, but it's a far cry from being good. The randomized level designs are bland, the puzzle-solving elements are so easy they're barely puzzles, and the writing and sound design will grate on your nerves far more than they'll entertain.

There's nothing particularly broken or wrong here, but without a fresh, new idea driving it, it's got precious little to offer.
