About Atomik: RunGunJumpRun
With a teeth-rattling, gravity-defying weapon in your hand, a cast of crazed characters, simple but beautifully difficult gameplay, and a pulsing musical score, Atomik: RunGunJumpGun is a loud, trippy mess of twitchy platforming goodness.
The game takes place in the Extax System, a solar system where the Sun has begun to swell and devour planets. With most of the planets already devoured, the remaining worlds have descended into madness and superstition.
Each denizen has their own theory on why the sun seems so enraged, but they all hang on one central element: Atomiks, the primary resource in the entire system.
You play as a scavenger, a rogue from outside the Extax System who seems to have only one goal: get Atomiks. What do the Atomiks mean to the scavenger? Does he want to scoop up precious resources for himself, or use them as a way to appease the sun and end the suffering of the system? Or Maybe they’re just shiny pick-ups in a video game to him.

- Nonstop Action: Merciful respawns let you die fast and keep you constantly in the action
- Two-button gameplay: One button lets you fly and the other blasts obstacles into heaps of rubble.
