   Since Velocity Raptor, I've started making my new games using Unity. That lets me release to the web (now, recently, without needing any plugin at all) or various devices. I don't have any immediate plans to port Velocity Raptor o

   Different cannons shoot bullets at different speeds. Check out the (bonus) level 40 to just play around with a few different cannons at once, and see that their speeds stay constant whichever view you select. I wanted to let the bullets hav

   Oh - haha - no problem. One of my favorite parts of watching people who know about relativity play this game is seeing them a) think of an effect that isn't shown in the game, and state that out loud, then b) reach the level that the e

   Oh, that's really cool. No, I'd not heard of those shaders or DisplacementMapFilter - but it sure looks like they could do what I need. My current method (as you can perhaps tell) is to split the (non-relativistic) image into a bu

   Ha, I would love to get more time to spend working on this game. There is a level editor, though, and some players have made truly amazing levels in the game. Many are posted in the TestTubeGames forum, so I encourage you to check them ou

   Oh yes, so true. I too am not immune to a bit of minor nausea after a bunch of playing. Just goes to show that our eyes & brains really aren't built for seeing the relativistic world. Not something our ancestors really needed to do

   Thanks for playing. It's an interesting question about the huge-and-instantaneous acceleration when the raptor stops. The way I treated it when making the game was that the spacebar is equivalent to applying an acceleration exactly e

   Oh, nicely done! You beat the game faster than I could remind myself of the cheat code! You're absolutely right about the colors. Right now, the color-blocks only show what would happen to the wavelength (which gets 'black' a

   Either: a) Raptors are the cleverest of animals, with an uncanny ability to understand relativity. b) I am obsessed with Jurassic Park and couldn't pass up a good pun. So, you know. One of those two.

    Thanks! And no problem about the link. I'll warn you, though, once you listen to his music, you'll start to hear it everywhere in games. So listen at your own peril :)

    Yes it is. It's 'Bathed in the Light' by Kevin McLeod. He's got a nice site (incompetech.com) filled with royalty free music. Great for low-budget game devs like myself. Sounds like KSP picked one of the same songs I di

    Hey there - game's creator here. I came across this post and figured I'd pop in to say: thanks to everyone for playing! (And thanks to stared for sharing it.) I'm happy to answer any questions/take feedback/suggesti
