Subatomica by SFBTom
Enter the extremely tiny world of subatomic physics! You control the charge on a particle to the left with the y position of your mouse, and your aim is to get it to the yellow goal on the right. Other particles, fields and even antimatter will help/hinder you along the way.

I like the controls and the Theme fits perfectly.
Great Job! :)
Some audio indication of field strength by changing the pitch or something would really top it off.
Mostly my difficulties seemed to stem from how hard it is to handle the timing with these fast moving particles. Very pretty and fun to play with, though. It's the kind of thing I could do for a very long time with the right sort of music.
Cool concept, nice execution :).
Very well done :)
I loved the concept and mechanics, and it fits the theme very well. Some explanations would have been nice (the electric field effect is not obvious for example).
When I saw the puzzle with only two antimatter particles, I knew this was a solid puzzler.
Altogether, though I'd love to have some audio/music, it's very playable and feels complete, a great job in 48 hours. :)
Maybe another control setup or a lower difficulty level should be better.

Biggest downside for me was that the game got slow and crashed about 8 levels in. :(
I agree with marudziik -- I would have enjoyed this better as a puzzle game, not a twitch game. I knew exactly what I was supposed to do, but by "Slalom," I couldn't accomplish it. I was too frustrated to play more, which is a shame.
Great use of theme, very solid technically.
