High scores are based on how far you fill and overfill this meter, rather than just pure distance. As you land on and run across these blue platforms, a meter fills up-once you’ve filled it, you’ve discovered the particle. Instead, the only task it gives the player is to discover that particular stage’s mysterious boson particle, which can be done only by jumping on the flashing blue platforms.
The game doesn’t bother itself with coins or upgrades or needless in-app purchases to bolster its replayability. And while running is on auto-pilot, Boson X has the player constantly jumping back and forth between platforms, unlike many runners that start slow in the Temple Run template. Like the best runners, Boson X’s ever-increasing sense of speed always keeps things exciting. The developers of Boson X really nailed the physics of the movement, which allows for huge jumps that can be suddenly stopped by lifting up your finger. Tap left or right a bunch of times and you’ll find that you are moving around a cylinder of sorts, endlessly running toward a point of singularity in the distance-think Temple Run meets Super Hexagon. Tapping left or right on the screen makes the scientist jump to the next rail on that side of the screen, while tapping both together makes him jump straight ahead. The entirety of Boson X plays out inside what appears to be a high-energy particle collider (or at least something that looks abstract and science-y).

Of course, you accomplish this not by making hypotheses and running experiments, but instead by running and jumping across a series of fast moving platforms. You play as a scientist who is determined to discover new boson particles-a theme no doubt inspired by the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson particle. On the surface Boson X plays out pretty much like every other endless runner you’ve downloaded from the App Store. Just when it seemed like endless runners were doomed to endlessly rehash these unsavory gimmicks, out comes a game like Boson X to once again justify the genre’s existence. Despite the success of games like Canabalt and Temple Run, they’ve often been known more for their use of rampant in-app purchases and manipulative mechanics. Endless runners have forged a longstanding hold on the App Store game market over the years.
