  Lightning blasts, and keyhole looking “doorways” that require even quicker reflexes appear to get through with mishap. And any misstep causes the fleet-footed runner drops to a seemingly bottomless end.The runs are leveled, and completing levels is a prerequisite to open further levels.All in all, it’s a fun game with a lot of upside and plenty of playability.

  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.

  And really, I think that's what hurts Boson X. To do the Super Hexagon formula well, the game can throw difficult challenges at the player, but the challenges and rewards have to be fair. Because Boson X feels too much like it's a slave to randomness, it fails at living up to the bar that other challenging survival games have set.

  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.

  Getting decent score can be tough - frustratingly so at times. However, even if the tight corridors and spirals of later stages are stressing you out, it's still satisfying to revist the sedate pace of earlier stages and attempt to beat your score.

  Bleary eyed at half past one I take what I swear will be one final shot at the run, all of my recent attempts having ended in minuscule percentages and early deaths. An hour later I'm still there.That's how good Boson X is, and why you should pick it up as soon as you can.
