Electron Jump
By @synthms
Control an orbiting electron by tapping to switch paths and reverse direction, dodging red positrons while collecting golden quanta for points and shields.
How to play
- Watch the red positrons as they travel outward from the violet nucleus toward your orbit.
- Tap the screen to instantly jump between the inner and outer circular paths.
- Anticipate your new trajectory, because every jump also completely reverses your electron's travel direction.
- Intercept the golden quanta before they disappear after 8 seconds to gain a protective shield.
Controls
- Touch
- Tap anywhere on the screen to switch your orbit and reverse direction.
- Keyboard
- Press the Spacebar or Enter key to switch your orbit and reverse direction.
- Mouse
- Click anywhere on the game area to switch your orbit and reverse direction.
More about this game
In Electron Jump, your goal is to survive as long as possible while orbiting a central nucleus. You constantly move along one of two circular paths. The core loop requires you to switch between the inner and outer orbits to evade outward-moving red positrons. Every 10 seconds, the energy density increases, boosting hazard speed and spawn rates by 10%. A run ends immediately if you collide with a positron while your quantum shield is offline.
Tips
- A jump takes 0.18 seconds to complete. Factor in this brief travel time and your reversed direction when dodging fast-moving positrons.
- Golden quanta stay on the orbit for exactly 8 seconds. Grab them quickly to earn 5 bonus points and a one-hit shield.
- Surviving is your main point source, granting 2 points per second. Focus on evasion first, especially after the 10-second density increases.
Questions
How do I get a shield?
You earn a one-hit quantum shield by collecting the golden quanta that spawn on the orbits every 5 seconds. The shield absorbs exactly one positron collision before breaking.
How is the score calculated?
Your base score increases by 2 points for every second you stay alive in the run. You also earn an immediate 5-point bonus for each golden quantum you collect.
Why are there so many red hazards?
The game features a leveling system based on time. For every 10 seconds you survive, the energy density increases, which raises both the positron speed and spawn rate by 10%.
