I'm Andy, a fairly recent newcomer to the indie scene.  I am also the entirety of TestTubeGames studio.

My background is actually in physics (and theoretical physics at that).  I got into making games for two reasons.  For starters, I always love a good casual game.  And second, games are one of the few ways to make abstract concepts hands-on.  I think topics like relativity and quantum mechanics are amazing(!), and I quite enjoy slogging through the math to understand those concepts.  Most people don't.

So to understand relativity, why not just make a game where you can travel near the speed of light?  Ah yes, I did, the flash game Velocity Raptor:



More recently I made and released an iOS game about particle physics, Agent Higgs:



So that's where I'm coming from.  I'm always looking for a new way to show off some neat science.  Are these just your ol' stale educational games?  I sure hope not.  But you can judge for yourself.
