I made a little indie game inspired by particle physics and the search for the Higgs boson a few months ago. Yeah, it's old news, but in light of today's exciting historic announcement from CERN, I just had to share it again!
Ms. Particle-Man is a retro-style arcade game for iOS, the browser (Silverlight), and Windows. The goal is simple: Discover the Higgs boson. The player controls Ms. Particle-Man in his/her search for the Higgs across three different collider worlds. Each collider ends with a showdown against an elementary particle. The player collides with each boss particle to discover new worlds, abilities, and eventually possibly even the Higgs boson itself.
