That's an ambitious entry! There is a very good idea and we can see there is a lot of dev done yet. However the gameplay still needs to be developped. 

As writes Jonty, you quickly find yourself just waiting for sequences - and that can be loooong. Sometimes you also blindly click to get hints, like brutal force.

Perhaps you could allow the player to change the speed on the DNA chain? Or propose 3or 4 paralell chains, so there is more chance to find a good sequence? You could also give hints only when the" combing" matches the known pattern.

I'm just giving propositions, because I loved your idea but it doesn't completely work in the current state, for me.

My starting design idea was not exactly what I have done here and I was lacking of time (and I have exceeded the time limit by far) so yeah what you see here is not a very good design ;)

Wait for the deluxe version after the jam.

I really like the concept! However, unless I missed something, all I could do was wait until the conveyor brings out a desired combo.  There's also a bug where if I press on the arrow on the word balloon the comb doesn't work anymore. Loved the clues system and how it gradually led you to the combinations but maybe something to mitigate the trial and error nature of it could would be welcome! Again, loved the concept!

I know it ! There was a bug !! I really saw it, I am not mad !! Thanks you for discovering how to reproduce it ^^ I’ll fix it after the jam.

Yeah, you must wait until you have the desired combo, I knew it before beginning but underestimate this case. And the current version have been balanced after I found how frustrating my game can be ^^”

Glad you like it, I’ll provide a deluxe version some days after the jam ;)
