Eco-Sperm Physics: Polluted Planet

It’s interesting (and occasionally horrifying) what you can dig up by typing random things into YouTube. I just discovered the beta test of a physics game, Polluted Planet (danger – initially noisy website), which is about cleaning up a level using oil-on-water type particle interactions. It’s a pretty clever piece of design, even though it locked up my browser a couple of times during play. Everything requires physics to defeat, and the terrain itself has a rubbery, flexible quality to it.

After the jump, the video that led me to it.

    Though, I have to wonder what this has to do with “Innovative tools for the 21st Century Lineman”. Thankyou very much, Google Ads.

    Hey, it’s me (the guy who made the video).

    I’ve uploaded 3 new vids, featuring black edition, beta2, and a version featuring surface tension. All have download links.
