Really cool and original idea, though a bit confusing to play, and I don't really like the janky movement of the cehmicals

Fantastic project! The music was a jam, the art was clear and easy to read. The chart was a bit confusing at first but after trying it (and killing my reactor multiple times) I seem to get the hang of it. I came across one bug where the valve took stuff from the vat but didn't send it into the pipe, but other than that (which was fixed by restarting) its a really cool idea and well executed!

Wanna mix copium on that.

I like the sound design and the visuals.
However, while playing I was not not sure if I was doing the right thing.

The game doesn't look bad, but I didn't understand anything

Great concept! Nice minimalistic art! Slightly hard to play =)

Neat little logic puzzle with nice music. The unpredictable particle movement sometimes made things tricky, but otherwise enjoyable

I liked the concept of the game, but I feel it was a bit slow at times, especially when placing the particles into the reactor. The colours of the coolium and iceium were also very similar to each other, which made it more difficult to know which one I was making. Overall, a great concept, but I feel like there could be more.

Really intruiging game. Unique idea. Needs to be expanded upon somehow. Well done.

Nice implementation of the theme and interesting mechanic.
Unfortunately the concept wasn't directly clear to me. I think some scale of heating-/cooling-effect and energy production could have helped

Cool idea. The chart could be a bit more informative. (Or for non chemistry expert user friendly) I had fun playing it, great entry, nice work!

Cool idea for a game! Wasn't sure if there was a goal, but I had fun playing around with the different reactions! Good work!

Interesting idea. I always like games about mixing different things to make other things toward some goal. But in this case it would be helpful if the goal was more clear. I didn't see anywhere where it says a certain power to get to and the table for mixing elements is hard to read and mixing them in the tank just felt a bit too random. I think if you clarified the goals of the game a bit better and there was a different way to mix the chemicals that had a bit more control this could be great! Thanks for the submission!

Interesting game. Playing around with the reactions I wasn't sure if I was making progress by luck or good management.
