In the near future, the world-famous Atari Research Institute unveils an incredible quantum computer known as the "15600XL" that could bring peace to the world.
This machine, however, attracts the attention of dangerous nano-engineers who “Did the Math” and now crave its 512-qubit power. These rogues release self-replicating nanobots into the machine that infest its circuits, latch onto electrons, and exploit them as an infinite power supply in an attempt to wrest control.
To combat this menace, ARI scientists create a particle capable of navigating the quantum world and task it with stopping the infestation. As this particle, you possess a curious ability to tunnel through solid barriers and absorb electrons, which deprives the nanobots of their power source and lets you manipulate time.
The fate of the quantum world and beyond now lies in your hands.
Gameplay
Quantum Tunnel is a fast-action arcade game for one player. Guide your particle through the circuits of the quantum computer, tunnel through obstacles, and collect strings of like-colored particles to increase your bonus multiplier. Watch out! Rogue nanobots are racing toward you! Use your special ability to momentarily freeze time and swerve around them. Stay alert for the quantum computer’s flashing “danger phase” when all obstacles become deadly.
Keep alive long enough and maybe you can save the world!
