"Strange Attractors 2 is an evolution of its original one switch predecessor. In it, you use your ship's gravity drive to navigate and escape from complex labyrinths full of secrets, hazards, and antagonizing spacemen. While the game's controls have grown to include an 'Anti-Gravity' button (bringing the number of inputs to a staggering two!), the game is still completely playable (including menu navigation) with a single switch. Ominous Development's goal is to create a game that is incredibly fun and incorporates the lessons and features of a successful one switch game. The simple and elegant gameplay of Strange Attractors 2 picks up where the original left off, and adds a ton more."

 

"the game is an original classic, it really took me back to the old days, but with a new twist, a modern finish" - Chris Kurowicki

It's difficult, engaging, and perfectly fair, and would have been a sure fire hit back in the heyday of coin-op gaming in the early 1980s. - methodgames.com

 

This is said far too much, but I truly feel this Strange Attractors deserves the compliment. It's groundbreaking. WIth a wonderful mix of physics, objects and dying spacemen, this game rocks harder than 10 Queen tribute bands. Put together! - Dan @ shocktherapy

 

"If you’re looking for neat one-button game design that makes great use of physics, check out Strange Attractors. Or, if you’re looking for a game with a lot of tiny little men that say strange things before their inevitable demise, Strange Attractors is a good match for you, too." - Matthew @ fun-motion.com

While the game's controls have grown to include an 'Anti-Gravity' button, and a 'Shockwave' attack (bringing the number of inputs to a staggering three!), the game is still completely playable (including menu navigation) with a single switch.
