Freaky and Interesting Video Game

A totally cool, yet thought-provoking game. I love it!

“A Slower Speed of Light” is a rather unusual game created by the MIT Game Lab. It’s short and doesn’t even need to really install. Just download it, extract the folder and play. The basic idea is that as you gather a number of “orbs” you slow down the speed of light, eventually to your own rate of movement. As this happens, the screen reflects the distortion that would occur in first your vision, then space itself, as light slows down. Making the task increasingly challenging and very freaky looking.
