"In 2008, the largest particle accelerator ever created, the LHC at CERN's particle physics lab in Switzerland, was activated for the first time. The research obtained from this experiment has revolutionized the way we think about science. Un-answered questions that have puzzled man since the dawn of humanity are finally being answered. Are there extra dimensions? What is dark matter? Is time travel possible? Epsilon Experimental Sciences Research Facility aims to discover the potential of this whole new world of science, and you have been appointed as the primary test participant."

Going with what seems to be the current trend, I've made my version of a portal game. The challenges are based around solving tasks using various fictional technologies discovered as the result of the LHC experiment, primarily wormhole manipulation. Other methods include gravity shift, time reversal, and general cognitive dexterity.

I started this a while back and planned on coinciding it with the release of Valve's Portal, which coincidentally was around the same time CERN was planning to activate the particle accelerator. Unfortunately Epsilon still wasn't ready by the time Portal came out and the LHC still hasn't been switched on, so I decided to leave it until now.

Thanks to Geier Arnold for the original soundtrack, and for tirelessly helping out in the beta testing process.

NOTE: If you are experiencing problems with lag while freezing the ball, try turning off the ghost rooms by pressing G.

"Incredible"

I believe my summary explains it well enough. Challenging enough to keep your interest, yet easy enough controls and timing that anyone (well, except some n00bs and those of diagnosed mental deficit) can figure out how to beat a level if they take the time to think it though. Addicting enough to make me want more, and the little bits of dialog fit perfectly, even setting things perfectly for a sequel if EON so desires to make one. Simplistic, sharp, modern graphics that can run on almost any system at the highest quality, and the music provided by Geier Arnold fits perfectly with the environment and overall mood. To any who has played this game, it should be obvious why it earned the Weekly Users' Choice back in June, as well as a Daily Feature. Excellent work, bravo sir. I'd dial the stars up to 11 on this one, but I'm afraid my amp is burning in the background.
