From the creator of the critically acclaimed iOS game Ms. Particle-Man comes the eagerly anticipated and enigmatically titled sequel, MR. PARTICLE-MAN.

Remember the fun, fast-paced, and brutally difficult classic arcade gameplay from Ms. Particle-Man? No? Well, Entertainment Weekly called the game "a snappy delight that takes you back to a bygone era when games werent trying to be literary or cinematic." Ring any bells yet? The Verge raved that it was "challenging, unforgiving, and quite satisfying." The Onion AV Club gave the game an A rating, saying that the game "creates a rich world with just a few pixel strokes." On the flip side, some dude on iTunes said that it "gets tiring and stops being fun," but what does he know?

Mr. Particle-Man massively expands on the original winning formula with all new levels, new challenges, and new power-ups. You control the eponymous little hero as he bounces around like a mustachioed pinball, avoiding deadly obstacles, dashing past enemies, and doing battle with challenging bosses. The deceptively simple core gameplay mechanics are explored in increasingly creative and complex ways across more than 100 colorful levels. Theres a surprising amount of depth in this humble little package.
