It's all Hydrogen, but it wants to be so much more ... only you can help!
You play the role of 'HIGH ENERGY', the physics overlord. Using the power of energy, agitate nearby Hydrogen atoms and shift their quantum structure until they become Helium-4!
Hold tight, as once you start wielding that power even 'HIGH ENERGY' will not be able to fully control what happens, and you don't want to end up with Lithium-7 all over the place.
WARNING: game contains bright flashes and may be unsuitable for those suffering from photosensitive epilepsy
Instructions:
* Click or tap to select two elements, and use your power to catapult them toward each other * If they collide fast enough, and form a valid combination they will fuse into another element releasing energy as heat * Heat the screen and form chain reactions to gain bonuses * The game ends when there are no available fusion combinations left; sofas up all those 3s and 1s
UPDATE: As nobody seems to have noticed, the valid combinations are all on the front screen. Ideally you'll end up with just Helium-4 as all the atoms have paired up. If you end up with Lithium 7's or Hydrogen 2's floating around you missed the chance to make a few more points
Notes:
* It sometimes crashes - theres a memory leak somewhere, but I can't find it :(
Argh! I got a really big one going, and then it broke apart!
This game is awesome. I'm still not completely sure about the rules, but it's fun none the less. Nice work, this is a nice original interpretation of 'shapeshift'!
the idea is witty, and the game is very aesthetic; It's very nice to look at; but it feels more like a triptoy/eyecandy than a game... the interactions are rather chaotic, though escaping photon (or any other small-and-fast thing) blew my mind!
Not that I knew what I was doing but it was kind of fun. Music was the best, visuals also neat!
Btw.: the scoreboard showed only 5 digit scores when mine were entered ('SIR' with an 80.000 and a 90.000 score) then I got 100.000 and this happened: https://i.imgur.com/3lQEkm2.png — maybe a bug?
eek; thanks for the bug - the scoreboard was a bit hacked together. I realised at the end (with no time left) I should have highlighted potential matches.
thats cool - internal rules are unclear but its fun to try and find out... nice gameplay and graphical style! would be cool with electron-feature. the white flash is unpleasant 4/5
Cool and nice game feel! I didn't really get the mechanics but it was fun just mindlessly clicking on the screen. The minimalistic aestethic work great. Sadly, the game crashed when I had a bunch of big clusters >_< Good job overall!
Difficult to understand exactly what it was I was supposed to be doing. I clicked a bunch and it eventually crashed on me. The music was pretty good though.
This is way more fun than it should be. Excellent work on music and science. After a while it was frustrating not having control over the direction I was sending the particles - it kind of turned into a clicking / patience simulator. But, like I said, still fun.
I don't know why... but I had a good time clicking around on the little atoms. Don't know if there's a strategy to employ, but I enjoyed trying to get new formations. The game crashed after a while though, and I suspect a memory leak somewhere. Nice gravity and a fun little game.
I'm rather pleased to see that most people seem to summarise their experience as "fun, but I don't know why" ... I'm going to consider that a success. There's a memory leak but I can't figure out where it is.
I wasn't sure what I was doing , maybe would've been good with a selection ring / gesture to swipe / select them together, was hard click the pesky hyrogen. :)
Liked the music and hectic bouncing. I think I got the high score for now. Was trying to prevent entropy within the system by keeping things moving. Wasn't sure at what point I failed. :(
Man, I've always wanted to try and make some kind of nerdy particle physics simulator/game.... and you just did it.... This must have been an absolute blast to code. While this is extremely cool though, it lacks on game-playability. But I know that really doesn't matter for something like this.
I kind of wish there was a gui showing what combinations were which elements, and which elements were desirable. Without knowing what elements are good, you just wanna spam click and watch the show.
oh yeah... and the audio is AMAZING! It's probably a coincidence (or programmed in which would be awesome) but, when I was playing my first round, the music completely changed after I hit a certain score and everything was getting hot, and really matched the pace of everything. It was just so awesome.
This has a lot of potential (it feels very rewarding when you start to see how the combinations interact with others), but as they've said, there is not much yet on the side of gameplay.
On another plus side, it feels really polished. Great job!
pretty awesome, I got how it works after some reading of the description and trying, I got the point which is good but it was hard to understand, especially for someone who has no idea what is Hellium-4 or Lithium-7. Great audio and physics though!
Pretty nice even though I found the flash of light a bit uncomfortable for the eyes (then again i got sensitive eyes!) -- I liked the fact that the walkthrough is legit on the first screen :D
A neat little game. The interpretation of the theme really was quite cool, although in this case, this means there is not a lot of variation to the gameplay.
The graphics really fit the game's context with nuclear fusion. They certainly make it very clear to the user, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that they were an outstanding feature of the game.
The music, on the other hand, was excellent. It somehow really fit in with your style and it gave the whole thing quite an epic vibe.
So despite the gameplay being quite simplistic, I have to say: very good job overall.
Wow, the concept sounded super boring, and then I opened it up and proceeded to be blasted in the face by pure craziness. I like this a LOT. Obviously not too much content here but I had a blast playing it.
The biggest drawback i find are those nasty flashes.

Hmm, nice visuals and music. But couldn't get what exactly happens when I press. things seemed to be very fast for a well timed reaction. Liked the simplicity .
there are some great epic/grandness feeling(also with some sense of mission） through my game experience! really amazing and genius, the music also enhence the atmosphere really great...if the tune(on visual )could be more cold, it may let me feel more realx and get more flow(now the blast is too hot and high lightness,i am not sure whether more fade/gradient added could be more nice..) all in all ,wonderful entry,love it!
This game is awesome. I'm still not completely sure about the rules, but it's fun none the less. Nice work, this is a nice original interpretation of 'shapeshift'!
