The findings could solve the mystery of why there is a size gap in the planets found outside the solar system between these two types of worlds. The results could give scientists a better picture of how worlds like these evolve. Caltech graduate student Michael Zhang explained in a press release from W.M.

We first asked why they tend to use time limits, 60 seconds for Minit and 10 for Fun Racer, rather than a more traditional rogue-like reset caused by player error.

Mirror’s Edge 2, a sequel that was canned in 2011 by EA, made it as far as the prototyping stage before development stopped. Faith’s look is similar to her original outing, with the officer in full body armor.
