I really enjoyed playing this game, Breaking Bad is like my favourite TV series!! I thought the idea and the gameplay were cool. The simple top down art style was so good. The game was a bit slow at times waiting for some things to mix/cook, I would have preferred to be getting on with other stuff whilst this happens but I guess that's how you make meth....right? haha! Loved the addition of the boombox for the music which I enjoyed and the little coffee brewer in reference to the programme (its the little things). I played before the patch with the cooking guide so I found it slight difficult at first then I got the hang of it,,,,apart from the rainbow level (however that's cause I'm an idiot haha! Loved it! Be sure to check out my video where I play the game! :D

The artwork was really nice and I liked the addition of the boombox for music. Gameplay was a bit slow for me, but I thought making all the combinations was really cool. I did find if I was holding something I would still be holding it when the level went to the next one (useful holding something like purple or rainbox). A couple times too I would drop the box on the ground rather than ship it off. I would just have to pick it up and drop it again, but it happened quite a bit to me.

Really cool game and well made, great job!

Okay, so I played the Crystal Lab. 

I found the early game experience quite frustrating. It’s pretty simple to cook the first batch, but the mixing and cooking rules are quite unclear. They require a lot of experimentation, when ideally they should be defined beforehand. Clearly explain the rules, but introduce many possible outcomes. In first 7 levels all the rules were unique, which meant you spent time learning them, but had very little enjoyment using them. They were one-off mechanics. Didn’t seem like you can combine them in any meaningful way besides 1-2 outcomes. 

That said, I liked the pacing of middle/end game. At the beginning the delays feel long, which hinders the desire to experiment with combinations, but once you understand which does which, you can confidently manouever between the tables, and it feels nice. 

I liked the atmosphere. It wasn’t in the mood of drug making, though. My feelings are mixed here. 

Visuals are simple, but consistent and pleasant. With smoother animations, they can be confidently used in a full-sized game, I feel like. 

Consensus:
Mixing should be more intuitive with clearer rules. I see a big opportunity with standart color mixing: (Red + Yellow = Orange; Green + Blue = Cyan and so on), and more standartized outcomes of mixing and baking.
Maybe the durations of operations should be smaller at the beginning, so that the player can experiment a bit more without feeling punished.
Graphics are nice and quite likeable.
The atmosphere is chilled and relaxing, but it contradicts the tense and ‘always downhill’ mood of Breaking Bad. It depends on your goal, but because of the Jam’s theme, it expected to represent the TV show.

Not sure how to play this, maybe a little more instruction on the website or in-game would help? I'm not sure what to do with the blue stuff that I made (meth?) other than place it on the table. 

Quite cool game! This is my first time making crystal, so took a while to get the combinations. Like the art, and music. Good job! :D
