Why hello

The Standard Model is complete and fully operational.

Scientists found all the fundamental particles. Caught them. Measured them. Annihilated many. 

Once you're trapped inside the Standard Model, there's no way out... until now.

Agent Higgs is back on the loose, and he needs your help. It's the world's smallest game of hide-and-seek, with the highest stakes possible. Succeed and you free every single particle from the clutches of the scientists. Fail, and the scientists may be unleashed onto the world Beyond the Standard Model.

Think your way through a puzzle game of sliding particles, where the rules are written by the universe itself. Chapter 1 available on Windows/Mac/Linux today!

Thanks!

Oh, huh. Not sure why you wouldn't be able to access the download. I think you're in the TTG discord - might be easiest to try to resolve that there.

Oh, answered this through discord, but realized I should post here so everyone knows -- this is now up to the latest version.  Thanks for the heads up about that!

Absolutely amazing - the code optimization you must have done boggles my mind.

This is stunning!

I love this! All the joy of a Van De Graaff generator, none of the pain.

You scamp!

So wonderfully awkward and real!

Thank you!

Hi there!  I've just released a few of my games here on itch, and am interested to see what the community thinks!

I make science games, and these are no exceptions... I posted a few, so I thought I might just lump them together in this post.  So:

1. Why do astronauts float?  (free!)

Do you think you know?  Or do you want to find out?  Either way, this is a fun toy to play around with, and it'll help you wrap your mind around what we mean when we say astronauts are 'weightless.'

2. Gravity Simulator

If you can't get enough of the gravity fun, then this one's for you.  Fling planets, create beautiful gravitational art, turn on relativity, and even change the force laws of gravity altogether if you'd like.  (Anyone want a 1/r^3 force law?  Or a sin(r) force law, for that matter?) 

3. The Electric Shocktopus

Two more classic forces raise their head in this game, electricity and magnetism.  And also you're an octopus?  It's a tricky platformer where your character can not only run and jump, but can also charge themselves.  Sail across electric fields, and loop-de-loop past magnets.  Silly premise, but real physics.

Thanks for checking this out -- and I'd love to hear what you think of any of these games/sims/toys.
