  And thus, all of Schrodinger's Cat is a bit of a bomb. Lively and exuberant about quantum theories as it can be, there is a lack of sustained momentum. Gameplay peaks, which are always a part of the closed down, tightly managed exhibition rooms, are a joy. They're also too brief. Schrodinger's Cat is screaming for some intensely linear focus – a hundred level, slightly old school video game instead of falling victim to the new school pitfalls of open worlds.

  Schrodinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Last Quark uses clever game mechanics and thought-provoking humor to create a fun platformer with an unusual twist. Randomly-generated levels make the experience different for every player, which is both good and bad. Hopefully the sequel will offer a way to reset levels so everyone will enjoy their foray into this scientific adventure.

  Schrödinger’s Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark is a good start to what Italic Pig has promised to be a series of games. There’s decent dialog and adequate (if slightly boring) platforming. 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.

  The simple “clear this area of all enemies” and presenting them in a simple way had me keep going. All I had to do was figure out a way to actually reach them, and that was part of the fun. For ten bucks, this a decent platformer that I think people will enjoy if they like the trial and error kinds of game that require a little bit of thought.

  5.0

  All we get in return is a gimmick in which you can create a special net out of your available quarks to cart the ones you knock unconscious away, making the job of the zoo's staff a lot easier. It's neat the first hundred times, but it’s not nearly enough. ...The game turns a fresh, fascinating new mechanic using particle physics as a creative springboard into the most staid, stale platformer imaginable. If the goal was to create a game that's both alive and dead at the same time--mission accomplished.

  Though the overall story is silly, the writing is good. Comedy in games is difficult, but Raiders of the Lost Quark had me laughing out loud a few times. That said, I'm a science geek, so your mileage may vary when it comes to the physics jokes. ...None of those waste as much time as the procedurally generated levels, which are easily the biggest flaw in Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark.
