Reception

The game has a Metacritic rating of 87% based on five critic reviews. [2]

TouchArcade wrote "Really, it's hard to find anything to complain about with Fotonica. It's such a cool experience, is masterfully crafted, and really rewards playing it again and again. Definitely check this one out." [3] Modojo said "Fotonica is definitely one game that needs to be installed on your favorite device." [4] Pocket Gamer UK wrote "Frequently savage, but ceaselessly beautiful, FOTONICA is ultimately yet another auto-runner, but only a nutter would ignore ' Canabalt meets Rez '." [5] Multiplayer.it said "Fotonica is a stylish, ultra-minimalist action game which feels like a blend of Mirror's Edge and Rez, therefore only hardcore gamers might enjoy its peculiar taste." [6] 148Apps wrote "With a style like few other games out there, FOTONICA is a tricky but compelling first person Endless Runner." [7]
