Description
Featured in "App Store: Best of 2014" for iPhone.
TOUCH ARCADE - 5/5 "Masterfully crafted"
POCKET GAMER - 8/10 "You've experienced nothing like FOTONICA"
Ever wondered what running at 140mph feels like? FOTONICA is a first-person game about the thrill of speed and traveling flawlessly through complex environments.
One-handed controls: hold your finger down to run, release to jump, hold in mid-air to dive and land.
FOTONICA is simple, but is not easy: it follows a tradition of arcade games that are easy to pick up and almost impossible to master. A multi-layered level design across eight different tracks, together with a procedural endless mode make for a game that is incredibly deep. Think you can outrun your friends? Try the split-screen versus challenges.
The visuals are a treat for the nostalgic player but also for those hungry for new aesthetics. Every pixel is drawn to convey the maximum sense of speed, an exhilarating journey through light and void.
- 8 Levels to explore and master.
- Plus 3 different endless levels to compete for high-scores.

Fantastic aesthetic
This game has one of the coolest aesthetics of any game I've played. Love it.
I agree with other reviews that there could more variety in sounds (jump voice sounds), just to switch it up add a little variety. Also hope more levels are coming.
Overall, this is a fun game with great style and imagination.

Wow

Absolute creativity! Don't stop.

Crashing iPad mini
I love the game when it actually decides to load a run. It goes to the loading screen and then crashes. :(

Excellent
A steal since the price dropped. Feels like I'm running trough a low gravity astral plane in some foreign universe. Props on design and overall physics of the game. One of a kind for a mobile game.

Tron?
Ah, this game is ok. I like the idea of it but who is Emilia and why is that my only choice of play in the endless mode? It's almost like playing pong. Faster, faster, faster! Oops, game over, start again. It gets old fast but provides a bit of entertainment while the novelty lasts.

Good concept
I can't give anything more than 3 stars as there simply isn't enough content. The gameplay is very interesting. I've never played a game which gives of the feeling of speed as well as this one. It's all about speed and timing. There is a versus, endless and arcade mode. The maps are limited and I'm guessing more will come with updates. The graphics are extremely simple but high quality. The sound is soothing but it is tiring after a while and needs more variety. The entire game needs variety in fact. It is fun to play but after 10 minutes and showing it to a friend there simply was no motivation to keep on running. Still, good concept and good attempt.

Work of art
This game has such an amazing style of simple yet advanced digital graphics, the soundtrack fits it perfectly and gameplay is amazing, however controls take maybe 5 minutes to get used to. The game certainly tops limbo or Leo's fortune. Just trust me and buy it. 😃

So fast. So great.
This game is a ton of fun. It leaves me breathless! This game is what other "runners" dream of being - no nonsense, no BS, just you, the player, mastering speed itself.
