That quote from the creators of Happy Atoms inspired this list of games.

Knowledge of chemistry or other sciences is necessary to solve many real-world problems, but the way it's taught now often fails to capture students’ imaginations, discouraging experimentation and discovery."

"Science is an incredibly important subject that many students never fully grasp. Physics, Chemistry and Biology is something for the nerds, geeks and highly intelligent children at school and not for us or our children. Science can be a subject that many of us see as something for other people. Educationally, this isn't only a novelty to inspire other learning but offers an embodied appreciation of gravity, air currents, g-force, pitching, yawing and how materials respond at high speed. The games we have collected together in this list, enable you to experience flight in some way. There are other examples that use trajectory to get to hard platforms, like Ibb and Obb and other games like Slime Rancher where you can unlock a jetpack. Along with games where flying is front and centre, many other games offer nuanced flight as part of their experience, like Rocket League. These games can range from novel superpowers that let you swing, boost or bounce your way into the sky like Marvel's Spider-Man, to serious experiences that simulate the complexities of flying a jumbo jet in Microsoft Flight Simulator. It's not surprising then, that many video games are popular because they grant the player the ability to soar through the air. The dream of being able to fly seems to be a universal human desire.
