This is a pretty dope puzzler. I liked the easy pace you got the player into the game.
The visuals have a nice clean look and the audio does it's thing.
I've spent some time on the game and got to the part of forming a square - due to sleep depreciation it just wrung out my brain the wrong way - but I'm sure to get back to it at a later time. Great Work!
@pecolyte : I haven't encountered pipes failing to link, but in case you meant "revert" as in undoing/deleting things from grid, you can do that by right clicking. :)
@elzach: Thank you! The square one is probably the hardest level in the game - there's basically no proper difficulty curve - didn't have time (hence made all levels are available from the beginning hahah).
Really fun game, having a leading molecule rather than waldos was a cool twist on SpaceChem and made for some interesting puzzles. The music was also incredible. I would love to see this expanded with some more difficult levels and mechanics.
Really great game! The first few levels were a great guide, and the slight changes to each level made it very engaging. This could definitely become a marketable game.
Great game! Somewhat complicated and could do with more guidance at the start, but its a game jam so I know thats not always possible. Great game still and I hope you continue with it :)
OK wow some real game design work! I truly enjoyed my time figuring out puzzle solutions. The assets were at just the right quality, though I would have appreciated some music.
That was a very nice and well polished game. I would say that it was a little too easy to just brute force it. One of the things that I really liked about spacechem was that it forced you to make something that worked cleanly and worked multiple times. It doesn't seem like there is much of a reason to not just "cheese" every level when instead there should be interesting patterns to look for with every given starting situation. In any case I enjoyed it, especially that you took the time to make menus look good and to have music.
@kleinzach: Part of that is having symmetric designs (which we didn't have here), and how the levels were made. Essentially when we're on a time constrain, we make levels by reverse engineering from a solution (aka we lay down a path, see what it produces, remove the path). That doesn't make for the smartest levels, and usually things like these can be brute forced. So yeah, makes sense. Thanks for playing!

Ótimo puzzle, parabéns pelo jogo e pela trilha sonora! 🇧🇷
@steve-johnson There's a lot of (original) music in there! Were you playing the web version? Maybe it just didn't load?
I especially like the music and the super nice clear/in animation.
@saintheiser: It is Spacechem-inspired, yes. :)
