In this game, your goal is to get 25 other molecules around you to become the strongest material in the world.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code by myself, did the sound effect on sfxr, the graphics were made on Inkscape and the music has been made by my friend gakalax ! My game engine is unity.

Running away from the acids while trying to collect molecules is a lot of  fun. I like how when you gather more molecules, it becomes easier to hit more molecules, but also easier to be hit by an acid. I didn't have much trouble avoiding the acids though, i didn't get hit once, but it sure was fun running from them. It might be interesting if there was a time limit or something where you try to get as many as you can for a high score.

Nice idea but I wish it was taken further with some kind of end point or goal. It would have been nice if something happened if enough molecules were collected.  

Also it seems that when molecules touch acid they sometimes become "infected" and you start acting like acid themselves? It would be nice if they became visually distinct when that happens so you know when to avoid them. Unless that is just a glitch.

A simple fun game! I wish it went on for a bit longer and would like to see it extended! Maybe the different molecules could have different properties which effect the game play.

Thank you ! Yes I will think about it maybe if I made a final version

I really like this concept, the art is simple but still really cool. Do you know if you are going to continue with this project?

Developer

I think I’m gonna continue it because everyone seems to like this game for the moment. I will see… You can follow me on itch if you want to be notified for news !

Controls and concept is great. I just wanted to see a bit more when i grab molecules. Such as make resistant to something or make it goes faster.

Developer

sure I will think about it !

Nicely done. I like the idea, and the game controls very well. I can imagine it being very pleasing after it's more polished. Background music is nice, it fits the mood of the game in my opinion, and doesn't get very repetitive. 

That acid seems only a problem at the very beginning where there's a lot of them, but once I grew bigger, I was far away from them, so that's something that would need adjustment. I like the way acid breaks apart molecules, by flinging them away and not just destroying them.

Minimap is a nice feature for this game to have, well done. Maybe it would be nice if the camera unzoomed a bit when you collect a molecule, so that you can see what's around better. 

I think graphics are something were there is a lot of room for improvent.

Well done!

Developer

Thank you very much !
