History VideoGame / AntimatterDimensions

** One of the ticker messages reads, "I hate antimatter. It's rough, course, irritating, and it gets everywhere." This is referencing a ''Franchise/StarWars'' quote -- Anakin complaining about sand in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: There in-app purchases that multiply your IP/EP gain, boost ''all'' dimensions, and provide other benefits, which will easily allow you to reach Infinity and Eternity ''far'' more quickly.

* CrutchCharacter: Out of the three Time Study TechTree branches, the Passive Branch is this. It's initially very useful at helping you gain EP when it's first accessible, but later on its lack of Active's pushing power or Idle's growth over time makes it far less useful in the mid to endgame. Despite this, [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman it proves to be useful against Eternity Challenge 12]] because it gives a boost to Replicated Galaxies unlike Active, and doesn't have a 10x penalty to Replicanti reproduction rate unlike Idle.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: The "Respec Time Studies on next Eternity" button used to be between "Import tree" and "Export tree". Version 2.37 replaced it with an option for selecting preferred paths while making the respec button bigger and above the rest, but those who got used to the previous placements and already have setups with prepared paths who only respec to switch presets for Light/Dark Studies needed for EP/TP gain can easily select the path one by mistake.

* LOL69: The "Nice." secret achievement is unlocked by inputting 69 into an autobuyer.

** Much later, we have Reality at 1e4000 Eternity Points and 13 rows of achievements. It makes you lose all Eternity progress and the first 13 rows of achievements (gradually re-unlocked thanks to Auto Achievement feature), but you gain Reality Machines that can be spent on various one-time/repeatable upgrades and unlocking the Black Hole, a Glyph that can provide one or several effects of a type, and a Perk Point that is used to unlock various Perks to make things go more smoothly.

* AdReward: The mobile port has an option in the shop to watch an ad to give an increasingly beneficial multiplicatory effect for 5 hours (goes from multiplying Antimatter Dimensions to IP gain to EP gain on Eternity to Dilated Time), with further ads extending the effect's length.

* PremiumCurrency: The mobile version has coins (named [=STDs=] by the game) that can be bought with real money and spent on optional upgrades.

Antimatter dimensions is a text-based IdleGame created by Hevipelle, that was originally launched on May 3rd, 2016. Your goal is to produce as much antimatter as possible by purchasing dimensions. First dimensions directly produce antimatter, while higher dimensions produce the dimension before them. Every 10 of a dimension you manually purchase (not produced by the higher dimension) gives you a boost to them. You can also purchase tickspeed bonuses to speed everything up.

* DoubleUnlock: To unlock an Eternity Challenge, you have to get a certain Time Study and all those that come before it, spend some Time Theorems, and meet a resource requirement (Antimatter, Infinities, 8th Dimensions, etc.) that goes up with each completion.

* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Out of the three Time Studies paths between Active, Passive and Idle, the Passive path quickly falls out of effectiveness due to being a CrutchCharacter whose bonuses are static as compared to Active's extra Replicantis and Idle's higher gains over time. However, Passive turns out to be the best path at taking on Eternity Challenge 12 because it gives a boost to Replicated Galaxies unlike Active, and doesn't have a 10x penalty to Replicanti reproduction rate unlike Idle -- and in Eternity Challenge 12, speed and fast Replicanti production is of the essence. Averted on later Realities thanks to Achievement 138 removing all penalties from Active and Idle Studies, but it can provide another 3x multiplier to Replicanti thanks to a Perk unlocked later on in case you need them.

* TheArtifact:

* NowWhereWasIGoingAgain: Averted thanks to the Content Summary feature, which suggests the general course of action (like "try to increase your Infinity Points") in case you don't know/have forgotten what to do.

* TechTree: The Time Studies tab is a tree with several branching upgrades and splits which cause other ones next to them to become unavailable.

'''Note:''' Spoilers on this page will be unmarked as it's not particularly hidden by Steam screenshots or achievements menu. However, information regarding the last few segments (the glitched-up 18th achievement row) will be spoilered.

* {{Cap}}: At first, when you get 1.7976931348623157e+308 antimatter, your amount becomes infinite, forcing you to reset and gain 1 or more infinity point(s). However, when your break infinity, your antimatter is not limited, and the number of infinity points you get when you reset is based on how much antimatter you have.

* {{Infinite}}: In this game, Infinity is actually finite, at [[UsefulNotes/PowersOfTwoMinusOne 2^1024 or 1.7976931348623157e308]]. Initially reaching this amount of antimatter causes a Big Crunch and provides you with 1 Infinity Point -- but there is a way to break this limit.

* MoreThanInfinite: "Infinite" is represented as 1.79e308, and it is possible to exceed this amount, gaining an Infinity Point. And even after that, you break your Infinity Points cap by going over 1.79e308 of them, allowing you to get Eternity.

** After this, we have Infinity. When your antimatter hits the 1.79e308 {{cap}}, you'll be forced to Big Crunch and earn an Infinity Point, while losing all Dimensions, Dimension Shifts/Boosts and Antimatter Galaxies. Later on, with enough Infinity Points, getting to Infinity becomes almost trivial, and you'll be able to use those points to gain boosts, remove said cap to earn more Infinity Points, and buy Infinity Dimensions to boost your Antimatter gain rate.
** Once Infinity is trivialized, we then have Eternities, which are obtainable after you earn at least 1.79e308 Infinity Points. Getting an Eternity will reset all your Infinity progress but give Eternity points to use in Time Theorems, Time dimensions and Upgrades make subsequent Eternities far easier, while also resetting all your progress -- Infinity boosts, Antimatter Galaxies, etc.

* GameMod: There are many of these, which speed up or slow down progress, or add entirely new content. The most popular one is NG+++ which is linked [[https://raw.githack.com/AarexTiaokhiao/ivark.github.io/master/ here]].

* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Out of the three Time Studies paths between Active, Passive and Idle, the Passive path quickly falls out of effectiveness due to being a CrutchCharacter whose bonuses are static as compared to Active's extra Replicantis and Idle's higher gains over time. However, Passive turns out to be the best path at taking on Eternity Challenge 12 because it gives a boost to Replicated Galaxies unlike Active, and doesn't have a 10x penalty to Replicanti reproduction rate unlike Idle -- and in Eternity Challenge 12, speed and fast Replicanti production is of the essence.
