Agent Higgs 2

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.

The Game

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 biggest 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.

The Science

This game is based on the physics of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The forces, particles, and quantum interactions you see in the game are ones you're really find in the real world... within reason. (Can you really prove that the Higgs boson does *not* wear little glasses?)

• Electromagnetism - particles will attract or repel based on their electric charge.
• Nuclear Forces - stick nuclei together.
• Antimatter - there will be explosions, and they will depend on the mass of particles.
• Weak Force (Z) - particles can be pushed around the levels.
• Weak Force (W) - some particles can decay or combine into others.
• Strong Force - different color quarks attract together *strongly*.
• Higgs Field - gives rise to the masses of many particles, and is everywhere and totally fine, nothing to worry about there.

The game will be released in Chapters to encompass fundamentally all of the Standard Model.
