The Collider

If you're looking to pay up to 2 dollars to add another "perfect game" to your Steam Profile in literally 30 minutes on your lunchbreak (my actual experience with this game), then I guess you should pick this up. Otherwise, once you've "completed" the game after reaching the oddly arbitrary "1300" speed threshold (1300 what? MPH? KPH? Scoville units?), there's just nothing else to do or any reason to keep playing it. I'd say the replay value is abysmal but it's actually absent. There's literally like a dozen (or maybe less?) of obstacles that pop up in front of you every now and then. I mean, I'm sorry, I meant to say that this game is "procedurally generated". The only other thing that's supposed to add an edge to the gameplay is the coins, which are pointless. You can only use them to buy continues, and since you can get the "perfect/clean" playthrough achievements in 30 minutes anyway, you don't really need the coins and they're merely a distraction. Verdict: Possibly the most forgettable game I've ever played on Steam. But, for those of you who need to bump up that 100% achievements count, sure why not, go nuts.

Not a bad little infinite runner + aim at the right spot or die watchamacallit genre mobile portie game thing. I was surprised at how easy it was to be an achiever in this game and if you're into that these are 26 of the easiest to get of all time. Unless you're blind, but then you won't have much luck at getting video game achievements elsewhere either.

The Collider is a simple, yet unique game that "puts your reflexes to the test." It's a fast paced arcade type of game that takes place inside a particle accelerator and you will have to go through obstacles to pass the test. I'm not going to go into many details, but The Collider is a fast paced game, and I mean a very fast paced game. The levels will progressively get harder and you will accelerate faster and faster towards the obstacles, giving you less time to maneuver them and will challenge your reflex skills. The controls are very simple, you just use your mouse to move the particle around and avoid the obstacles. It also has some controller support so that is a plus. The achievements can be easy to get, you'll most likely get them all within an hour or so. The leaderboard is also a very nice feature to have, you can try to beat your friends' score and it gives you a purpose to keep going further than usual. The music is really decent as you play it, I like it. :) And let's not forget about the trading cards. ;) All in all, it is enjoyable and yet, challenging at the same time. You won't get very far at first, but you know what they say: "Practice makes perfect." [h1]Should you buy this game?[/h1] I'd say you should. If you are looking for a challenge or some relaxing fun then yes, you should. It's worth the small price. Or you can just wait for a sale to happen if that's your style. 7.5/10

I have always dreamed about becoming a proton moving at almost light speed inside a particle accelerator, and now I can re-create these dreams in this particle accelerator simulator game! You play as a tiny white packet of protons which are stripped of all of their electrons inside a particle accelerator, or a "collider", as it is called, moving through certain obstacles, although a collider will not usually have such obstacles for the packet of protons to maneuver through, I will assume they are magnetic accelerators, as maybe in a newer design I am not yet familiar with are already implemented in. However, I was personally confused as to why there was only one proton shown, as normally, there would be "packets" of protons, consisting of roughly 100 billion protons per packets, with roughly 1500 packets. Although I take this as a mistake, I will not be to critical as this could of been a design choice, as having all this on your screen may be slightly distracting game-play wise. I was also slightly dissappointed with the introduction, as I was really hoping to be able to traverse through different boosters, as this was the highlight of my particle accelerating fantasies. I was also very dissapointed with the lack of ending cutscenes, as I am still very curious as to what happens to the packet you are in control of. as there is no other protons to be able to collide with, I lost loads of fantasy filled nights thinking over the results of this specific collider. I was expecting there to be a cutscene at the end where you finally collide with another proton to cause many new particles or atoms to fling out so I could record the results. But maybe there will be a DLC, or even better, a sequel to the game which might show this. Overall, I found this collider simulator very fun to play, although not very realistic, I had a great time achieving the fantasies I've always had.

The Collider starts simple. You think you’ve got it under control. Then it speeds up. And keeps speeding up. After a while it’s just you reacting on instinct, trying not to slam into something you didn’t even see coming. It’s minimal, fast, and very focused. No fluff. Two hours was enough for me. It does what it wants to do, and it does it well.

Эта игра возвращает в приятное прошлое, когда я играл на первых сенсорных телефонах в Speedx 3d. Вот The Collider так хорошо сделана, что казалось бы в игре однообразный геймплей, но играть всё равно нравится и хочется. Отличный вариант для того, чтобы скоротать время или оторваться от трудных и надоедливых будней.

Was a cool runner that had you going at break-neck speeds through small gaps. Now it's an infinite load-screen simulator.

This was a really fun arcade game that helped one train their mouse skills when it worked. Unfortunately, the developer shut down the servers and the game is unable to load without some data it tries to fetch from the server, crashing before reaching the menu on the username input prompt. If this game is patched to work without calling home, I'll update my review.
