History VideoGame / AntimatterDimensions

* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: Glyphs are generated from a randomized selection of 4 out of 5-6 types (initially Power, Infinity, Replication, Time, and Dilation, but eventually you unlock Effarig Glyphs), and the main 5 have four effects that you can normally only get 1-3 of, but a later mechanic is present that provides a chance for getting all four effects, with the further you go boosting that chance until eventually it's a 100% guaranteed 4 effects. Even after you achieve always 4 effects, there's still an extra randomized aspect in how Effarig Glyphs have ''seven'' potential effects, with two MutuallyExclusivePowerups, so even with 4 effects you'll never be certain what the Celestial Effarig will provide you.

** Among the seven potential effects for Effarig Glyphs, Glyph Instability boost and Reality Machine multiplier are coded to never appear at the same time. Combined with how you can only have one Effarig Glyph in a loadout, this means you not only are limited to a maximum of four out of seven Effarig effects, you can't just boost both Glyph levels and Reality Machine count for every Reality run.

* MutuallyExclusivePowerups: On the Time Studies TechTree, there are a few branching paths that lock you out of the others. The Antimatter, Infinity, and Time Dimensions are initially exclusive, but a later upgrade allows you to pick a second one, and a Time Dilation upgrade allows you to pick ''all three''. The Active/Passive/Idle paths are also exclusive, and later on, you can only pick either a Light or a Dark upgrade on the same category, athouh you can get all of these at the same time after [[spoiler:completing the V-achievements to get Space Theorems.]]

* ColorCodedItemTiers: The Glyphs follow a rarity system with each percentage tier having a color and name: white Common, dark green Uncommon, blue Rare, purple Epic, orange Legendary, red Mythical, and sky-blue Transcendent, and finally indigo-blue Celestial.

* AprilFoolsDay: The game's theme has been replaced with a [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic COVID-19]] theme on April Fools 2020, with a number of renaming including Antimatter being called Toilet paper which means the game is called "Toilet Paper Dimensions" Tickspeed being called Water Pressure, Infinity being called Costco, Infinity Dimensions being called Mask Dimensions, which produce Hand Santizier, Replicanti being called COVID 19/Infections, Eternity being called Amazon, and Time Dimensions being called Mask Dimensions.

* SerialEscalation: The entire game runs on this, from obtaining antimatter dimensions, to achieving and breaking infinity, to earning Eternity from getting infinite Infinity Points, followed by transporting to new Realities after gaining infinite Eternities.

* MoreThanInfinite: "Infinite" is represented as 1.8e308, due to being the original number limit for [=JavaScript=], and in the game you can surpass infinity. Once you do so, you will eventually gain infinite Infinity Points to access Eternity, then even further on access new Realities.

* {{Infinite}}: In this game, Infinity is actually finite, at [[UsefulNotes/PowersOfTwoMinusOne 2^1024 or 1.8e308]]. 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. Each level of NewGamePlus is accessed by acquiring at minimum an "infinite" amount of the previous resource.

* MoreThanInfinite: "Infinite" is represented as 1.8e308, due to being the original number limit for [=JavaScript=], and in the game you can surpass infinity. Reaching infinity with a resource grants the ability to perform a NewGamePlus, each resource accessing a higher level of new game, and going more than "infinite" provides more higher-tier resources per reset.

* MoreThanInfinite: "Infinite" is represented as 1.8e308, 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 1.8e308 of them, allowing you to get Eternity.

* SerialEscalation: The entire game runs on this, from obtaining antimatter dimensions, to achieving and breaking infinity, to earning Eternity from getting infinite Infinity Points.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: When your Infinity Points are high enough, you will make ''very'' short work of the Challenges and Infinity Challenges, usually within ''milliseconds''. In fact, getting a total Challenge time of below 5 seconds earns you an achievement, and getting a total Infinity Challenge time below 750 milliseconds earns you another. To even give the player a hint of how easy they get, the very first Infinity Challenge involves ''[[AllYourPowersCombined all the restrictions of all the regular Challenges]]'' save Challenges 9 and 12. It should be completed relatively quickly.

** One news ticker is a version of "Let It Go" with the game's terminology.

The Antimatter, Infinity, and Time Dimensions are initially exclusive, but a later upgrade allows you to pick a second one, and a Time Dilation upgrade allows you to pick ''all three''. The Active/Passive/Idle paths are also exclusive, and later on, you can only pick either a Light or a Dark upgrade on the same category.

** Firstly, we have Dimension Shifts, obtained by getting 20 of the highest antimatter dimension. This unlocks the next dimension, up to the 8th antimatter dimension, after which you get Dimension Boosts which increase the production of your 8th dimension.

* PoisonMushroom: Challenges 11, [=IC1=], and [=IC6=] have matter production, which is obviously a problem when your goal is producing antimatter. In the former two it makes a dimension boost reset without the bonus if it exceeds antimatter, while in the latter it divides dimension multiplier.

* 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 in 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.

* YearInsideHourOutside: The Black Hole and some Time Glyphs increase the speed at which the game runs and counts time immensely. Achievement 155 requires you to play for 13.7 billion years, which is practically impossible in real life, but since it counts game-time, it's totally doable.

* SetBonus: Once you have the "Royal flush" achievement, the number of different Glyph types you have equipped is added to future Glyphs' level.
