    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 …

    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 lik…

    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 a…
