The art is certainly special which I think also makes the game special. Also, maybe you didn't noticed, but all the sound FXs are made by us and a microphone :-) Was funny, heh.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@mitkus: I noticed it specially in the ceiling\/floor of the level. Is that what you mean?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@zenasprime: The topic is certainly nerdy. Quarks and Leptons are the most fundamental (small) particles around the Universe (putting aside strings and other physicists' illusions). That's our connection with &quot;tiny world&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@MaximSchoemaker: Sorry about that. I just uploaded a blank page with the applet in the middle. Now I've added some color and text so it's more evident where the game should load."},{"author_name":"TenTonToon","author_uid":"11273","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 3:08pm","epoch":1335366180,"text":"Tried it 4 times - twice it froze at the &quot;Checking for Updates&quot; step, and twice at the &quot;Loading Libraries&quot; one :("},{"author_name":"Gareth Jenkins","author_uid":"7693","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 3:13pm","epoch":1335366480,"text":"Loved the art &amp; audio.

Which OS\/Java version do you use? I've no idea what could cause that...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Gareth Thanks! In the beginning we wanted to drive a meson (aggregations of only two quarks). The two quarks forming it would give the attacks\/buffs you could use. Enemies would drop quarks you could use to replace your attacks\/buffs. Didn't have time to do it, so we placed all attacks\/buffs by default. That's why it's so easy to win :-("},{"author_name":"azurenimbus","author_uid":"12119","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 12:32am","epoch":1335400020,"text":"Hey, very nice and functional shmup.
