All news Players around this date Read on Steam

After a longer wait than anyone really wanted, we've finally released Version 0.6.0.0!

The big news is that the new version contains 2 (2!) new chapters, bringing the total to 6, out of a newly planned 10 chapters! Chapter 5 brings in Black Holes, while Chapter 6 introduces the weird and wonderful world of the Weak Force.

You can see a video with some of the new features here.

As always, we're really keen to get feedback on the game, especially the new chapters.

Full changeset below:

Upgraded particle, spawner, spawn point and data graphics
Particlepedia, linked into examination mode
Examination mode now triggered on Control
Shorter chapters (most are 12 levels)
Chapter 5! Black Holes!
Chapter 6! The Weak Force begins!
Level opening changed, you only have to press enter the first time
UI system updated (mostly this has resulted in all the fonts being Arial)

Now that we've got the UI stable again, we're looking to get back to much more frequent updates of the game. Later this week, we're looking to bring you Chapter 7, as well as a bunch of other changes.

What a journey this has been! Since launching Particulars on Steam Greenlight on the eve of PAX Australia in 2013, we've seen the game transform from a small narrative-driven subatomic puzzle game, to an ambitious adventure fueled by science. It seemed only appropriate with PAX Australia 2014 looming around the corner that we release an updated teaser trailer, and make a very important ann…Community11 Sep 2014Finding yourself - Helping the player locate their particle in ParticularsA consistent problem in Particulars has been helping the player locate the particle they control. You’ll be playing the game, moving some particles around, and then BOOM!, there’s an explosion, BAM!, there’s another, and three seconds later you realise that your eye is tracking a particle that you aren’t controlling. This becomes especially problematic in the last two chapters of the game. With…
