Synopsis

In quantum physics, a particle and anti-particle can be created from nothing (sort of).

In this game, the goal is to cover every goal space with a pawn. You can create a pawn from nothing, but you'll have to create an anti-pawn too, which moves backwards and annihilates pawns that it touches! However, anti-pawns can also cover goal spaces.

Use the pawns and anti-pawns together to progress through the game and solve tricky puzzles!

[Post-submission change: fixed a bug where attempting to advance text by pressing a key rather than clicking would skip any remaining text boxes rather than moving to the next one.]
