After a longer wait than anyone really wanted, we've finally released Version 0.6.0.0!
The big news is that the new version contains 2 (2!) new chapters, bringing the total to 6, out of a newly planned 10 chapters! Chapter 5 brings in Black Holes, while Chapter 6 introduces the weird and wonderful world of the Weak Force.
You can see a video with some of the new features here.
As always, we're really keen to get feedback on the game, especially the new chapters.
Full changeset below:
Upgraded particle, spawner, spawn point and data graphics
Particlepedia, linked into examination mode
Examination mode now triggered on Control
Shorter chapters (most are 12 levels)
Chapter 5! Black Holes!
Chapter 6! The Weak Force begins!
Level opening changed, you only have to press enter the first time
UI system updated (mostly this has resulted in all the fonts being Arial)
Now that we've got the UI stable again, we're looking to get back to much more frequent updates of the game. Later this week, we're looking to bring you Chapter 7, as well as a bunch of other changes.

Particulars is a game with a unique combination of arcade-action and puzzle gameplay, set in the mysterious world of subatomic particles.
Taking control of a single quark, you must negotiate the fundamental forces of the universe. Other particles will push and pull at you - you'll always be on the brink of losing control and being dragged towards annihilation!
Woven through the game is the story of Alison, a young physicist struggling to outrun her troubled past. Her journey through the subatomic world is drenched in memories (both good and bad), and will ultimately lead her to some powerful revelations.
Features
Based on actual particle physics: Enter the world of sub-atomic particles and take part in the interactions between them.
A puzzling narrative: Particulars is a game which blends arcade and puzzle gameplay with an engaging story about a troubled young scientist.
Over 100 intriguing levels: Explore the four fundamental forces of the universe over ten chapters of increasingly complex play.
Dig deeper: The Particlepedia provides information on each particle in the game, the differences between the game world and the real world, and links to other information sources.
