Challenging, but very fun. Nice entry
raincole8 Dec 2014, 03:16
Neat. It's more strategical than I expected.
FloatingGhost8 Dec 2014, 03:17
Gets hard quicky, looks very pretty though

Very interesting, though I would've played much more of it had it been more challenging.
GreenyUk8 Dec 2014, 03:19
Love this! Never played anything like it. I did have a problem that they tend to want to just grow outwards, and after a certain point I was bigger than the screen so couldn't see what was coming. Having the ability to zoom out would help, but great job. :)
Lawls8 Dec 2014, 03:20
Hard to understand at first, but neat mechanic
egos8 Dec 2014, 03:21
good idea
But you cant predict the next move because youi c'ant see soon the color arrival or the rotation speed is too small

Great job, unusual game!
Somfunambulist8 Dec 2014, 03:30
Mode 2 was a great challenge! Mode 3 was frustrating though -- the molecules don't come within a close enough range and I spun for about 40 seconds without any yellow getting close enough to catch. Mode 2 is definitely the high point though.

Awesome game :D Fun, and challenging!

Easy to start, hard to master. As the game should be.

It's pretty cool! It's easy to play, and the level design is also good. Well, now I know I don't have any gift to become crazy scientist. XD

Very polished game. Original and fun to play. Thanks!
Ian Morrison8 Dec 2014, 06:49
Challenging and interesting! The third challenge seems almost impossible, but I very much enjoyed the first two
Von Hunt8 Dec 2014, 06:58
Simple and effective visuals + great mechanics = win. Great job on this one
Proximal Pyro8 Dec 2014, 07:23
Really cool game. The thing I don't like is that you can lose an entire branch. It makes it pointless to play after you have done that, atleast in number 3 which I tried. Otherwise great work!

Nice fun and challenging game. Good job!

Soron8 Dec 2014, 09:14
Nifty idea. Level 1 is fun, level 2 was irritating (took too long to generate, and there wasn't much indication of what I should do).

Also, get less bleepy audio :P. Or gen less bleepy audio, if you were using sfxr.

Very good idea.

Very interesting concept :)
KedumeBits8 Dec 2014, 09:54
Cool game. It reminded me the game "Balls" for smartphones.
Bogden8 Dec 2014, 10:20
Neat game!

Excellent Game, The chemistry nerd in me is geeking out.

Awesome gameplay.
First time seems hard (because of a lot info slides), but after a while very intuitive and fun!
wooltech8 Dec 2014, 13:20
Fun game on levels 1 and 3, but I had a problem on level 2 where it seemed to be spawning for ages, so I just skipped that one. The graphics work well for this, and I like the growing atoms mechanic.
Kulomin8 Dec 2014, 14:31
I love how the difficulty ramps up once you get bigger
Hatsome
Hatsome8 Dec 2014, 14:50
Seems easy at first, but gets harder fast. Had fun playing it.
sharp9118 Dec 2014, 14:50
Cool concept. I like it.
Legiion8 Dec 2014, 18:17
A very interisting chemical Game
terrytheplatypus
terrytheplatypus8 Dec 2014, 19:11
interesting idea, but it seems like you should get rid of the generating screen, because the game starts right away
Luminar
Luminar8 Dec 2014, 19:38
I liked it, but I have no clue if the third one is even possible, if it is then it must be really hard or I'm just very stupid.

Doubstract8 Dec 2014, 20:08
It's very challenging in late game, great piece of art!
Nobuyoshi8 Dec 2014, 23:07
Great job! I really like it.
Drtizzle
Drtizzle8 Dec 2014, 23:10
Very nice! Because you have to destroy some molecules there is some strategy involved. I also like the small animations when it grows!
Wezley8 Dec 2014, 23:25
Awesome game! Good job!

Whew.. that's a tough game. But a really solid concept and a lot of fun. Very good looking game as well, lot of potential here. Good work. Thanks!

Very good. I thought it was a little slow then I past the 10 second mark.
Cheshyr
Cheshyr9 Dec 2014, 03:14
This is clever. Game 2 is bugged, but 1 and 3 were a good time.
KunoNoOni
KunoNoOni9 Dec 2014, 03:15
Neat idea. Liked that there were multiple modes of play.
WatercressStudios9 Dec 2014, 03:30
Terribly clever. I love how many tactical choices there are to make with only two inputs. I was trying to go around and sample everything, but I think I'll just play this for a while.
kburkhart849 Dec 2014, 03:36
Nice entry. Make some more levels and you have a good mobile/casual game. It is unique.
Team Flashlight9 Dec 2014, 05:14
Very innovative, never tried game like this before; the strategy is not very clear, but working to find a good strategy is indeed what this game is about, good job! The audio might be a bit monotone, and humor is not sensed in this game (typically when it fails). But, the game is of great fun and nice entry!
XilenceX9 Dec 2014, 05:30
This was really relaxing to play, but maybe a bit too easy, despite the casual genre.
Team Flashlight9 Dec 2014, 05:32
It seems that the second game mode has some problem..It always keep generating but does not start the game..
JohnGaltauthor9 Dec 2014, 06:13
Yes. That is a bug. I can't finish to fix it in 48 hours.

Challenging, but very fun. Nice entry. Neat ++
Hellequin9 Dec 2014, 09:53
Challeging game! Well done! I like it!
Warboys9 Dec 2014, 11:59
I played Level 2 (i liked the fire symbol) and it was hard but I didn't feel there was anything I could do to make it easier. Once the strains got too long, the whole thing seemed so arbitrary and random.

Neat idea though.
Crosstales9 Dec 2014, 12:35
Simply a good game! :-)
Well done!
Trite Games9 Dec 2014, 12:43
That was fun and a good idea :)
Tortoise9 Dec 2014, 13:49
Nice idea. I liked that the gameplay was challenging and took more thinking than i expected. I feel it should be more zoomed out though, it got really hard to play around having long segments.
friggingames9 Dec 2014, 14:17
That was really fun! I really enjoyed playing it. A neat strategy game that ramped up in difficulty quickly.
daviosmash9 Dec 2014, 16:24
A fun game, I wish I could tell what was going to happen a bit better, but it was fun all the same. Interesting idea.
spitfire879 Dec 2014, 17:10
Cool idea, the second level was very enjoyable, hard but doable. The third lvl looked imposible. ¿Anyone did it?

Really liked it and played for a while. Is is a great Compo entry. Good job!
Arkrothe9 Dec 2014, 19:36
Quite challenging and fun! A very cool twist on the mechanic :)
remicy9 Dec 2014, 20:48
Very cool!
It's really fun and creative.
Graphics are also very nice.

love it, very original and challenging, well done :)
trykondev10 Dec 2014, 02:32
For some reason this game reminds me of Dr. Mario. Maybe the colors? Anyway I like the mechanic, giving different powers based on which molecule you collect more of is a really cool twist, it gives you more of a reason to prioritize one color over another if you end up having to choose.

Murchurl10 Dec 2014, 09:05
Really interesting idea, I dig it!
FergusonTV10 Dec 2014, 10:04
Cool game. Gets hard quickly
Pete_H10 Dec 2014, 22:40
Very clever, GJ :)
Domicuc11 Dec 2014, 15:29
Awesome graphics x) and Gameplay! Also check my project x)
Simon11 Dec 2014, 15:41
This is very cool to play. Well done.
Hendri11 Dec 2014, 16:05
The game can get pretty hard over time. Just an idea but the game would be little bit easier if the camera would go a little bit further away from the molecule.

tmpxyz11 Dec 2014, 16:24
nicely done.

I enjoyed this, but I'm not really seeing the theme in it!

Needs more levels, but it's already cool enough :)

Gungnir13 Dec 2014, 08:48
Interesting but I felt like I had minimal control over the final result. The long strings of molecules kept getting in the way.

Interesting mechanic, pretty fun to play around with, but not much to it. Hard, but strategic. Perhaps good for a mobile game?
