That was fun. I wish the controls were better though, it was hard to make my character go where I wanted her to go.

that's because it's a physics game that illustrates special relativity. they slowed time down so everything warps and bends

I mean the controls not the screen squeegee. Even when you were at 0 balls your character was sliding about like she was on ice.

I figured Ks would like this.
Also the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has a little 3d program that has all the charted galaxies represented by a pixel, and so when you move around you can see the visible structure of the universe on a small scale. It looks awesome, like a 3d spiders web of galaxies. Very cool.
You can zoom in to see our local group, or zoom around and get lost in the tendrils. Or zoom out to a "god's eye" view and see everything.
I recommend it.

I haven't had the chance to play it yet, I'm gonna put it on my other computer. I don't think my rickety laptop will run it well.
