Pressing either up, left or right causes our nameless protagonist to jump in that direction. Essentially, a way to get your feet wet and familiarize yourself with the controls, because like the game itself, they’re deceptively simple. Initially, you’ll only be able to play an experiment called GEON, which is a slow and relatively safe training ground of sorts. Your main objective is to discover Boson X (hence the title), which is anything but easy. But I’m getting ahead of myself, so let’s take it from the top. Oh, and you know that “maybe I’ll do better this time” thing Super Hexagon, Daily Frenzy, Canabalt, and other ‘coffee break’ games nail? Go ahead and add this one to the list even more so if you’re the competitive kind since each level (experiment) has its own set of online leaderboards. Wasn’t good at it, but that’s besides the point because I was still having fun and over time I did get better as my reflexes improved. Who’d have thought sprinting inside a massive particle collider would make for such an exciting endless runner? Not me, that’s for sure, but after playing Mu & Heyo’s newly released Boson X for less than five minutes, I was hooked. Fortunately what it’s actually about is running as fast as you can, jumping between platforms and building up enough energy for a collision of epic proportions to… discover particles! I do believe science just got a lot more interesting (and fast-paced). Not exactly the most exciting thing, but that’s the core of Boson X.
