About
Positron is a fast paced arcade style game inspired by the classic arcade games of the 80's, namely Tron, Battlezone, Tempest, and Star Wars. Battle against opponents in the Arena, navigate your way out of the Maze, and collect power-ups while avoiding your own trail in Snake.
Combining elements of these arcade classics, adding bright modern 3D neon visuals, enhanced effects, and super smooth gameplay. Positron enforces the core game mechanics seen in those original games, in a fresh new way.
Battle against A.I. opponents or split-screen against friends in the Arena. Fight to eliminate your opponents in deathmatch style battles, set across dozens of arenas.
Navigate complex mazes, find your way to the exit then try to set the fastest time on the leaderboards. Featuring hundreds of mazes split across three distinct difficulties.
Collect power-ups which grow your trail and avoid destroying yourself in Snake. Challenge yourself to survive as long as you can, or compete against a friend in splt-screen multiplayer.
Positron is designed and developed by Martin Caine, as a side-project alongside his full time job working as a programmer in the games industry.
The game is programmed in C++ using a bespoke custom engine, which will also be used to bring the game to further platforms.

This game is the epitome of 'easy to pick up, hard to put down'. The controls are simple but responsive, and the fact that there are zero wait times to get back into the game after you fail is a massive bonus, and really feeds into the 'just one more go, I'll do it this time' sort of feeling. There are two modes: Maze and Snake, with an Arena mode on the way (though don't know what that's going to be). Both Maze and Snake (yes, classic Snake but in 3D with a light bike twist) are really well made, with loads of value for the price. My kids and I played for ages trying to beat each other's scores, and see how high we could get on the worldwide leaderboards. I've already had my money's worth from this game, and there's LOADS more play time in it. Definitely recommend giving this a try, and getting a bargain bucketload of fun whilst supporting an indie dev.
This is a cool little game with great graphics and music. It's a challenge though, you'll need quick reactions. I was hopeless on easy difficulty :)
Amazing beautiful Tron type game. Also really well supported by the developer
It's like nothing I've ever played before yet strangely nostalgic. So many lovely details, the way the trails seep into the ground when you reset, the reflections, the synth-music, the colours that seem to become more and more vibrant the closer you get. It's all really lovely. A great game to pick up and play, put down and pick up and play again. Perfect lunch-break decompress.
It is nice to see indie games made with custom engines, props to the dev! I find the experience quite relaxing, while also tempting me to reach the top of the leaderboards. The game plays well, runs smoothly, and I have no doubt that the couple of bugs I experienced will be corrected quickly. Nicely done!
Has a retro feel to the game and with simple game play it allows anyone to go in and play just like an arcade machine for people looking for that
