Reaction, the Physics Puzzler Where Geometry Falls From the Sky
Nightzel Jul 4, 2021
Hey everyone, I made a small physics puzzler where geometry falls from the sky. It's called Reaction and you can get it (for free) on itch.io: https://mechanicalink.itch.io/reaction

How does the game work? You swing your paddle left and right in order to push the pieces towards the evacuation shafts, gaining some of that precious little time before the play area inevitably spills and it's game over.

"Aha", I hear you say, "so it’s a physics puzzler of sorts!" And that is correct. You can play it alone or with a friend in multiplayer, you can go at it in short bursts or try to crack those elusive high score spots.

The game has versions for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS. The game was created with Debian derived distros (such as Ubuntu and Mint) in mind (since those are supported by default by the game engine), but with the proper configuration it should run on virtually every modern distribution. A few people tested it out and they did confirm that it runs on Arch (5.12.9-arch1-1) and CentOS (7.9-2009).

Check out the trailer and see if it's the kind of thing you'd like to play: https://youtu.be/nkzPqz8Qu4o

Quoting: Guestruns smooth on Solus(independent distro), the game is confusing at first but goes good later on.

That's great to hear, I'll have to add Solus to the list.

Part of the reason why I'm kinda 'terrified' when posting on Linux/BSD boards is because someone always points out a new distro I've never heard about and then I'll have to fight the urge to drop everything and install it right away.
