Atmosférico is what I want for breakfast.

The sheer number of independent arcade racers willing to cater to my boyhood might be plenty, but that very many can set the sun, cambio Continuo espacio-tiempo or make me want to revisit El río sin fin like Max Gittel does I doubt.

Photon Highway is a physics-bender, originally a 4-week Unity lesson that evolved into a 4-month experiment as per Gittel’s own admission. It’s Free-to-play on itch.io, wants me to break the light-barrier at times, slow down at others and nearly miss obstacles in between.

Through all this I’m allowed to warp the road ahead with my keyboard, stacking points on a solitary scoreboard as I drive towards the next of what is 10 different locales in my choice of vehicle. I’ve been terrible at it so far but then I couldn’t care less about quitting.

Jamal Green and his two-track number me hace volver por más.

¿ Photon Highway also seems to be is one big digression from Hexoplanet; Gittel’s next that he’s been silently tweeting about with equally enamoring art for well over a year now.

I could simply leave you with his Cartucho but amid the standard tilt-shifts I’ve found that it’s simulation/strategy with a mix of city-building, path-finding and tower defense.

The aesthetics are beautifully sunlit against themes of procedurally generated star-gazing observatorios, contaminación ambiental, entregas de drones, follaje y efectos de tiempo. + OBE looks great against white, doesn’t he?

Something of an oil-painter himself, Gittel had originally hinted at more information sometime around the end of last year but for now it seems like an official developer-log could still be a while.

If the microscopic planeta de agua and its natural satellite fails to hold your interest despite all of the above though, the rest of his prior mobile creations look to be worth a visit.
