Higgs is out, and freer than ever. Agent Higgs 2 - Demo Version - is now available free online. Starting with Chapter 1: Electricity... testtubegames.com/higgs2demo.h...

Cartoony scene of a tall billboard shown outside among grassy hills. There's a happy blue character wearing a red jester's hat, holding out their arms forming a rainbow filled with particles: electron, muon, tau, proton, neutron. The top says: Welcome to the Wonderful World of Particle Physics. The bottom says: Now including the Higgs Boson. The area that would show the Higgs boson is mysteriously missing. The mysterious dark figure in a hat is nearby on a ladder, holding a roll of paper.

Once you're trapped inside the Standard Model, there's no way out... until now. Agent Higgs 2 - my particle physics puzzle game is out today! Electrons, protons, photons, and more! The particles may be small, but big forces are at play. On PC/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS testtubegames.com/higgs2.html

Level in Agent Higgs 2, titled Electricity 8. Agent Higgs and a mysterious figure are both in a room with many crates. An electron and proton seem to be attracting with the help of a photon. The figure says: "The scientists caught you last time... but with my help you'll never get trapped again!"

Cartoon image of a collectible card - with a scared character at the top saying "What happened?!" The card title is Electric Repulsion and it has an image of two electrons repelling in the game. The text says: The electric force will make like electric charges repel. This force is stronger than the swiping force. Under that there's a stick figure character who is literally a stick who says: Sticky the Stickler Says... No distance dependence... and only cardinal directions?!

Can my kitchen scale measure the mass of a single paperclip? No. Can it measure the mass of 274 paperclips? Yes. Did I do this all for you? Of course.

Collectible card titled Paperclip.
Image of cartoon paperclip holding a picture to a piece of paper in a folder. A mysterious part of a red h is visible.
Text: The second most versatile office supply, behind the mouse pad. In French these are "Trombones," but don't be fooled, they are used much differently.
The mass is listed as 2.9 x 10^-4 kg.
It's listed as being card 28 of 32, and Common.

Just seems like the algorithm should do a little more weighting on stuff launching soon, like in the next week or so? But the wishlist velocity inherited from Next Fest appears to be the dominant factor.

Erik Asmussen / 82apps @easmussen.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

On the screenshot above, Forensics has about 80K wishlists (according to Gamalytic). Cat mail co has 120K. But all the others have 300K-800K wishlists

100

Erik Asmussen / 82apps @easmussen.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

This takes into account that the algorithm was recently changed - it was changed about two weeks before the next fest started, and I was keeping tabs on it than - most games on that tab were launching that week, many with under 100K wishlists

100

Erik Asmussen / 82apps @easmussen.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Before the latest Next Fest, Steam's 'popular upcoming' was filled with moderately popular games launching in the next day or so. After the next fest, all spots locked down by games that were insanely popular (like top 10) during the next fest - launch dates weeks or more away. Kind of a bummer!

Used gamalytic to estimate wishlists on these popular upcoming titles. Looks like there is a chance if you have 70K wishlists or so. But, hard to say if that 72K game would have only showed up for 1 day, or 1 week.

Personal calendar could be good though? I’ll share data when I have it. (Factory Town 1 got quite a few wishlists from popular upcoming, so I have something to compare FT2 to)
