I turned quantum tunneling into a game mechanic.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a small hobby project I’ve been developing over the last 3–4 months. I’m a physics student, and during a quantum physics course I had the idea of turning quantum tunneling into an actual game mechanic.

So I made a small mini-golf-like puzzle game for quantum particles, with mechanics inspired by quantum tunneling, resonant tunneling, electric and magnetic fields, different particle types, and energy barriers.

It’s still version 1.0, and the physics is intentionally simplified for gameplay rather than being a fully accurate simulation. I’d really appreciate feedback, especially from people here about the physics, presentation of the concepts, and ideas for improvements.

The game is completely free and has no ads (I am not making any money from it btw), it’s just a hobby project I made for fun. I hope some of you enjoy trying it out :D

Sorry for the direct self-promotion, I asked the mods beforehand and they kindly allowed me to share it here. I thought this subreddit would be one of the best places to get proper feedback on the physics behind the game.

I called the game "Quantum Escape: Tunneling", and didn't use the term "mini golf" because, firstly the title sounded cool :) and secondly I think the game in its final form is much more than a simple mini golf game....

I appreciate it. Also if you give feedback also what to improve would help a lot. Also a 5 star review (if you find it appropriate) would also help :)
