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.
I 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.
Nice 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 :)
Very cute and educational game! it reminds me of doing experiments in school and how I have forgotten so much about chemistry
I 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!
Hey, thanks for the feedback and rating!
Always cool to see a good simulator game. And this one using actual chemistry!
Thanks, glad to know you enjoyed it!
Art 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.
Thanks so much!
The 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!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the graphics and music.
Fun concept with educational potential, but the clicking is far too tedious to actually dive into fun stuff, still, nice concept!
Hey, thanks for the feedback!
Waaaaay 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 !!
Hey there, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you played for four salts! Thanks so much, I'll be sure to rate yours as well!
I clicked the button a lot! I really like the simplistic artstyle! Have a great day!
Hey, thanks for the comment and rating! I hope you have a great day, too!
My mouse could explode from all those clicks. Overall nice mouse clicker game.
I'll keep this in mind for my next clicker :) Thanks for the feedback!
Really cute art style; also a very informative game!
Thank you!
Very 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…
Ah, thank you! Well, I'm pretty sure everyone's going to say "Too many clicks!" now! :D Oh, well. I'll excuse the autoclicker if you learned something new :)
Good 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.
Ouch, you got one of the rarest events in the game! Thanks for the feedback, though!
Sweet 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...
Thanks! Glad you liked the vibe :D I'll be sure to look into your game as well!
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
Ah, thank you for your feedback! Looks like many people are saying that. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks again!
I really liked those cute pixel arts.
But, required amount of clicks felt but too much
Hey, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the number of clicks feel like a lot when you start out, or when the machines malfunction. But upgrades significantly reduce the number of clicks. That's why I made the game like so. Glad you liked the pixel art!
Unfortunately 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
Ah, I see! You were supposed to do two tests at the workbench. This was specified in the instructions. It seems you only did one. But I'm glad you liked the idea, thanks for the rating and feedback!
Can reduce the clicks a bit for all processes, Liked the idea and the game art. it's a bit overwhelming with too many chemicals to consider. Please play and rate my game as well, thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! I understand why you say that. But I'm glad you enjoyed. I'll be sure to give your game a try!
