Cool game! I just wished there were different minigames for every workstation, I feel like it would make it more fun.

How does the game fit the theme?
A chemistry lab is a place where a lot of things can go wrong! As a student, I often find myself saying "Nothing can go wrong!" to myself whenever I have a class in the lab. (Oh, and: things do go wrong.)

This game has a lot of educational potential; it reminds me of my chemistry class. I think that the clicking mini-game is too tedious to be enjoyable, as nothing happens when you stop clicking. I would vary mini games depending on the salt, maybe? I couldn't pass the first report as I didn't understand what to do next.

Angry ShepherdI personally think the explosion that resets all the upgrades is a little disheartening, but it's a really clever idea for a game! I had a lot of fun playing it.

Don't enter the blue doorNice game! The concept is fun and can have an interesting educational dimension! Maybe the clicks are a bit too many, but it's a cute proposition! Well done :)

Stompy's Antique ShopVery cute and educational game! it reminds me of doing experiments in school and how I have forgotten so much about chemistry

As Long As the Boss StandsI love the Concept. It really fits with the theme, Nothing can definitely go wrong in a chemistry lab :-). The game is also fun and relaxing. Keep up the Good Work!

Shape WarsAlways cool to see a good simulator game. And this one using actual chemistry!

A Killer PartyArt style, music, sound effects all excellent. Reminds me of the old school click n point games. Only maybe too much clicks for anything to happen. But still a fun game, and it has very much potential.

Picking OlivesThe concept is nice and it is well executed in your game, it is enjoyable but there are too many clicks in order to complete an operation. Other than that is really cool, I loved the visuals and audio!

Flare of HopeWaaaaay too many clicks @_@
Which is a shame because the main idea of the game (deducting what to do next to identify the salt) was quite enjoyable !!
I was however not able to go past the 4th analysis in fear of breaking my finger or my mouse x)
The art style was great and really coherent ! The music also fitted well with the overall theme. I guess you could have added a few more SFX to spice everything up.
A fun little entry, good job !!

Notorious BugI clicked the button a lot! I really like the simplistic artstyle! Have a great day!

Shutdown ProtocolMy mouse could explode from all those clicks. Overall nice mouse clicker game.
Submitted
Three Little PigsVery cozy!
And I stand in line with the other people saying it is too many clicks. :)
Close to finishing the first salt I switched to using an autoclicker…

Friendly Fire IndustriesGood calm and relaxing game. My only criticism - a bit too much clicking before the upgrades. Quited after random event destroyed all my upgrades and i realized that i need click 400 times again for 1 salt.

XerocopiumSweet vibe and I like the educational lean. I do think a few too many clicks required to progress... hopefully my touchpad will recover. :p All good though.
Congrats on the game. Mine slips a wee bit of simple maths into the game loop...

Houston... we have a problem...A fun idea and educational. Seems like it requires too much clicking to start, took several hundred clicks before it seemed like I had learned anything about my salt (although I know the upgrades exist, but still). Cute art and audio though
Submitted
Apocalyptic BurritoI really liked those cute pixel arts.
But, required amount of clicks felt but too much
Submitted
The Very Best First DayUnfortunately I couldn't get past the first salt as when I added the correct chemical at the workbench the game prompted me to go to the desk, but when I went to the desk I was prompted with a message saying I couldn't finish the salt. Enjoyed the graphics and the idea of experimenting in a lab with different chemicals
