I tried to jump in without reading the rules and was quite confused on what to do but it was really fun after I read what to do. Great work!

Thanks for giving it a try and thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^

I like the concept, but the controls did not seem to work constantly. Several times I pressed space to remove a molecule, but nothing happened.

Developer

Thanks for letting me know. It seems Space was not the best control to bind for that action. I'm going to see if I can change the controls around and re-upload the game.

This was smart... Moved a little too fast for me, but was a nice experience.

Developer

Thanks for the comment! I have to admit the game isn't too balanced because I was rushing to hit the time limit, so I just had some semblance of a progression system. Once the rating period is over I'm going to see if I can balance the difficulty and add some more variety to the molecules.

Clever idea! I like the particles in the background to give the whole game a sense of motion, like you're seeing all the water running by. The low-res graphics are charming on their own, but it also makes the game sneaky because sometimes two atoms can generate on top of each other and it looks like one. I don't know if that was just a happy accident of the graphical style, but that's a genius move if it was purposeful. I had fun!

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad someone commented on the two atoms on top of each other because I was trying to use the low-res style to be sneaky >:] I'm going to be looking into adding more variety so that it isn't always the same kind of atom that generates on top of the others.

Nice! I like the idea - very unique :) I found the controls took me a couple minutes to get used to (though - could be just me), but other than that its a very good game!

Developer

Thanks for your comment! The controls seem to be an issue multiple people have mentioned, so I'm going to look into making them more intuitive. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
