About

Agent Higgs 2

Features
Read full description

This Time it's Particle! The Standard Model is finally complete and fully operational. Scientists found all the fundamental particles. Caught them. Measured them. And, yes, annihilated them. Electrons, quarks, neutrinos, and even the once-elusive Higgs. 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. Hide behind muons. Smash through crates with the electric force. Build up ever-larger nuclei. Break walls with antimatter annihilation. Finally figure out what the Weak Force is all about. And see how strong color confinement really is. Is Higgs breaking the law? Yes. But can he break the laws of physics? That's left as an exercise for the player. Play with all the forces of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, including: Electromagnetism Nuclear Forces Weak Forces Strong Forces Get help from the fundamental particles, such as: Leptons Quarks Bosons Hadrons The game is releasing chapter by chapter - with the first two chapters (Electricity and Nucleus) out now! Stay tuned for Chapter 3...
