This is the most creative game I've seen so far in the jam. The concept of this game is so brilliant! Also, the game is executed so well. Good tutorials, nice and smooth control, good graphics, well-made levels... I can only say that this game is just perfect! Really Really a nice work for 48 hours! 15 stars!

I really like what you did with this concept! It's simplistic, physics feels amazing, tons of creativity with the approach, and lots of polish :)
I did get a bit more frustrated as it went on, but in the form of a bite-sized jam game I think this went down really well! The frustration definitely hit the same note as putting small decals on Gundam models, so I'd say you did really well capturing the feeling of working with tweezers on something that loves to misstick hahah
Great job all around!

C.O.M.P.R.E.S.S.I.O.N.Damn, this is really really cool. So many puzzles and possibilities with just a few simple rules.

Energy ChainThis is like space chem but instead of building machines and writing codes, you use surgical precision to create the element yourself.
The control can be a little unforgiving sometime as the rocks joined together because of momentum. The pin is a lifesaver and I wished there were more pins sometime to help with the rocks flying around sticking to each other.
But this game is very satisfying and there are already so many clever level. My favourite moment is when I figured out how to connect the small rock to a large one without putting it in the middle of two rocks using another small rock. Not sure if that sentence make sense.
Feel free to come and rate our game too.

JOIN, and DYEThanks! I was also thinking of spacechem, I wanted the target molecules to be more similar to real world molecules, but didnt get to it.
The controls can be a bit fiddly, especially if people dont realize you can disconnect rocks by simply usnig the pin and slowly pulling them apart. If you always jank them apart, stuff will fly around everywhere.
Good job on figuring out the difficult part with the black/white pearls^^ it was one mechanic i did not explain, and it actually was a bug that i turned into a feature.
I really love the idea and execution. The tutorial being drawn on the level really helped solidify the controls. I only have a very minor criticism; it would be nice to have the next level automatically load after completing the current level. Again, though, this has nothing to do with the idea and is mostly a quality of life change, so good work!
