Dev of Boson X was enough. But placing this in the same genre as Wave Wave, Hexagon etc really punches it up!

I'll edit my post or post again later with impressions. Getting ready for work right now... EDIT: Quick impressions after only a few plays: The controls took a little getting used to. There's no instructions as far as I can see. Here's the way it works: You are trying to stay in the tunnel and make it to a black hole at the end. You move automatically, tapping, and sometimes sliding your finger to brake for turns. You make turns automatically, tapping to brake for larger turns. I'm not sure if you can steer by swiping yet, but I do it anyway. When you move outside the tunnel you lose health. You start with 100 health and 100 gas. Tapping the screen depletes your gas reserve as you try to survive until the next checkpoint. The checkpoints give you fuel, and are evenly spaced apart, but things get tricky when the turns get sharper, making for an Impossible Road situation. I'll explain: You can completely leave the tunnel (like falling off the road) and re-enter if you can to save yourself (like landing on the road after a fall). Small file size, orchestral soundtrack, Game Center achievements & leaderboard (only 28 ppl on there so far ) and one more try gameplay make this an easy recommendation for arcade high score fans. Hope to see more pick this up! High score is 97 so far and haven't made it to a black hole yet. Quazonk Well-Known Member Mar 30, 2011 1,102 4 38 #9 Quazonk, May 5, 2016 This game is ok, but do not buy it thinking you are getting the next Super Hexagon or Wave Wave, you're not. This game is not in league with those games. Unfortunately it cost me 4 bucks to figure that out. It's a game of controlled braking, not split second reaction time. Certainly (quite) a bit of overhyping in this thread in my opinion, I do not recommend buying this one for the price.

Roleki Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2012 432 0 0 #11 Roleki, May 31, 2016 Isn't this concept taken from the game Space Rogue...from way back when?
