It's pretty easy once you realize the "formula" for the perfect score of adding all numbers and finding the lowest common factor greater than or equal to the largest element you started with. It is a cool concept though and I like how the elements get bigger when selected and sort down as the number of them gets smaller, nice work on the UI

Thanks man,

I will surely try to make it more interesting with some atoms other than elements to add more mechanics..

On paper, the mechanic sounds great, but since there are no actual rules on what you can or can't combine, it quickly becomes into a game of adding all the numbers and dividing by two.

It does have the potential to be something better if you decide to continue working on it 👍

Hey hi,

Im sorry if I fail to explain the game correctly in the How to Play section.

There are three outcomes of the level, you either fail to synthesize same atoms (i.e you get two atoms of different elements), you get all the atoms to be of same element but there was an element of lower atomic number that could have been synthesized, and you get the most lowest element possible for that level (that is the goal).


Still I'll try to put some constrains to make it more interesting,

Thank you for the feedback
