Relativity, the first commercial game to model Einstein's Relativity!

Purple Games are proud to announce the launch of their first game, available to download now on Xbox Live. Relativity is a god-type strategy/action game, set in a universe which obeys Einstein’s theories of relativity!

DON'T PANIC

Whilst Relativity uses some pretty crazy physics concepts you really don't need to understand them to play this game. Hopefully some physics will rub off as you are playing the game and you will suddenly start impressing* your friends in the pub with phrases like "space/time continuum" and "time dilation". (*Please Note: Actual level of impressed may vary).

As their 3 dimensional god type being, it is your job to guide your faithful 2 dimensional followers, the Toodians, towards intergalactic domination using a combination of strategy, cunning and weapons that alter the very fabric of time and space.

Created by a small team, including a retired teacher, Relativity’s exclusive physics model replicates the effects of Einstein’s Theories of Relativity and allows the player to visualise the effects on the Space/Time continuum.

Relativity is available now on Xbox Live for just 240 mspoints ($3). Look in your Indie Games section.
