Pros and cons of Boson X app for iPhone and iPad

Boson X app good for

I just cant get ride of this game. The minimalistic graphics are very nice, the music is catchy and the game pushes you to use your brain !! Which is pretty unusual for a plateform game... ^_^
Very nice game and extremely addictive. I think the music is a bit annoying and you miss the sound of the profs feet, so I turned it down. Unfortunately with level 6 the game ends. :( but thats with all excellent games ;) well done!
Its very good but it needs more levels I hope it gets more levels
6 Even harder levels?!?!?!?! I can barely beat dark-x-boson,this is madness xD
A greatly crafted game, perfect for pick up and go, addicting, a real gem, love it
This game is simple but challenging, and crazy addictive! I love the visual style.

Some bad moments

Awesome game but since the last update there are black bars on my iPhone 5 which are not touch responsive and make the Game unplayabe..:(
Every time i start the app and it says to press to start, it crashes immediately. Please help!!!!!!!!
Theres this trend in new games where the developers take a very simple premise and make it ridiculously hard. I guess it saves having to spend all that time on "content" because your players spend hours trying to pass a single level. Some people really really like this. Look at the popularity of an app with a certain bird that flaps. I, for one, dont like these types of games. They frustrate me and dont hold my interest for long. Maybe I just dont have great reflexes, but I just dont get the fun in playing the same 10 seconds of a game over and over because I didnt press the screen at the exact right millisecond. Essentially this game is like flappy bird in a tunnel. It gets some credit for the beautiful design and multiple levels (of which Ive only ever seen three). Clearly a lot of people love these types of games, but if you dont like this style either then this game isnt a great use of your money.
The amount charged is a rip off and the game is near impossible by the 4th level I was upset and frustrated by the challenge its no fun to lose over and over again I tried over 100 omens with no luck it was disappointing and honestly there are better running games for free super disappointed but the supposed challenge you provide!
TIPS: 1) use headphones- to block out distractions to help stay focused. 2) pattern recognition- see the different sections that are being put in a random order. It makes navigating the platforms more manageable. *not much help on lvl 11 & 12* 3) be persistent- keep on trying time after time. Youll get it… eventually. *Warning: Doing this on lvl 12, may result in a absurd run count number.* 4) try to stay calm- because you will do better. I know some levels that is asking a lot. --------------- Boson X DISCOVERED / dark Boson X DISCOVERED… I BEAT THE GAME.
This game has a chance to be an essential must-have game, but it suffers considerably because of the unfortunate randomness. I dont mind if a game is extremely difficult if it is fair and if theres a way to win. But too often in a run there simply isnt anywhere to jump to. So you die helplessly over and over just hoping to get that one random level where you can complete it. If every random generation was done where there was a way to get 100%, then that would change the game immensely.
