And if that wasn’t enough to give me a Feeling of Missing Out, a select elite who got the game early have already flooded the twitternets with reports of how wonderful the game is.

My answer to this was FEX, which you can play right now, on many home computers, for free!

This game is notable for being one of the fastest games I’ve ever made — having conceived of the idea late in the afternoon, and completing it only a few hours later. Daniel Zoran graciously made the music (also very quickly and at short notice!).

Go ahead! Give it a try!

 

EDIT! See the FEX LONG SCREENSHOT teaser trailer:

It’s too big a game to be given the small scope I gave it, and the idea is too small to warrant expanding the scope.

The concept stems from my experiences studying physics, specifically the schism between the real world and the representation of the real world in theory. As a larger concept, there is much more to explore here, and it may be fuel for projects in the future.

Although not a long game, Rocket Research boasts its own soundtrack, graciously provided by Daniel Zoran.

All sounds were recorded by me from household items (except the Geiger counter; that came from the university lab).
