Such a nice combination game :D But when I hover over the icons on the top my mouse disapears, that makes selecting a bit harder. The clue system is such a help and a realy clever idea to help players. Great job! :D

Thanks so much @fictions! I hid the mouse because it looked odd in front of the textbox. I definitely could've handled it better, though. Appreciate the feedback!

Cool spin on the Alchemy game genre. I felt like I had a hard time intuiting what I could do given what I had built. But a very neat idea!

Honestly the best part of this whole game is the music. Really good job on all the sound work that you did I really enjoyed it. The game was fun too, I've always enjoyed alchemy type games and the visual aspect you added to it was a really good addition :D

Great job! This was a lot of fun, I couldn't figure out the last two though. Overall really impressive!

Thank you @erebus! I was worried that it might be too similar to other games but I'm glad some of my ideas made it unique! I tried to do extremely subtle things to make combinations less "trial and error" but I can definitely understand if it still played that way.

@bobothegreat I really appreciate it! Music was a rocky road this time around. I ended up completely redoing a lot of it, but I'm glad it turned out how it did!

Thanks! @evannex You can click on your character for a hint if you get stuck, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Simple and fun, I enjoyed watching the world come together as I combined everything.
Also looks great and the music was sweet.
Great work!

I loved the intro. the game appeared to promise a lot of atmosphere. I was sort of disappointed when it came to the mechanics, which lacked systematic depth and felt very opaque. The tone also really seemed to switch gears with the graphics and audio.

I played many games like. I don't know man, having to mix stuff to create new stuff just gets me entertained, I could keep trying to figure this out for hours. I love how you added each new element to the map and in the end they interacted with each other like the dam and the bridge. Good game, well done.

Great game, thank your for the experience! The only things I missed was a bit of depth, I wasn't sure why I was a black hole and why I was building a world. And also maybe a sprint button, that would be nice. The music was really cool and you made a lot of elements and combinations, I love it!

When I was younger I used to play games like that. It's a nice game!

I found myself questioning some of the combinations, like i thought steam would be from water and fire :) It didnt feel much like gameplay once i found myself mostly clicking all combinations to find the next one (i forgot about the hint option for most of it). I liked the graphics which were clean and clear what the icon symbolised. Its a well made compo entry.
