The side of the screen you tap will cause the entire playing field to rotate one full click in that direction, and tapping both sides simultaneously will cause the pint sized man to leap straight forward with no rotation. The controls keep things simple enough, with the player either tapping the left or right hand side of the screen – or sometimes both sides simultaneously – in order to make the little scientist leap for his life. Furthermore – and certainly not making things any easier – he’s also going to go up like a roman candle should he ever miss a jump, which is definitely going to happen quite a lot. The catch is that the second our scientist slams into anything, even if that means only barely nicking the edge of the platform he was attempting to land on, he is going to explode into a shower of particles. His goal is to run along – picking up energy from accelerator planks – until he can reach critical mass and discover theoretical particles upon detonation, such as the ever elusive X-Boson. In order to let people everywhere in on any facts the song left out, Ian MacLarty has decided to chronicle all of Particle Man’s important adventures in an endless runner titled Boson X ( out now, $1.99). There was a song by the band They Might Be Giants that once proclaimed, “ Particle Man, Particle Man / Doing the Things a Particle Can / What’s he like? It’s not important / ParticleMan.” Turns out that we finally know precisely what particle man looks like, and – oddly enough – he apparently looks exactly like a human scientist running down long corridors (or Plucky Duck, it all depends on who you ask).
