A bit of advice before what I've said: get someone to beta test - the spelling's a bit sloppy. That I haven't marked down for.
Innovation... it's been done before but not very often.
It's heaps of fun... until you get stuck and then try permutations without any success trying to work out how to make a damn "Army of the Dead". Once again, get people to beta test. Usually at least one person is watching IRC so you can usually get a tester (the blog isn't that well watched).
Niiiiiice job with the graphics. Even had some really nice touches with the animation and stuff.
I approve of this guitaring. And this toileting. Good job with the audio.
Monkey scientist :D
Overall a very good effort with pretty much just one really irritating bottleneck.
Apparently you've done some live update thingy which is good for community effort; however, a beta test or two would have been a very good idea - I suggest you make project dumps and release them while you're going through.

Thanks GreaseMonkey -- good feedback :-) I just uploaded a Timelapse if you want to check it out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3H9lBz3pYs
I got about halfway in but could never figure out how to make duck tape. Loved the concept though.
This game has style. I couldn't figure out how to make zombie, but I really quite liked what parts of the game I played.
Liked the sounds and the music.

Loved the graphics, the photos worked out well. You must've had a lot of props lying around XD
Overall a really fun game, burned quite a bit of time playing it.
This would make a great kids game and is re-themable to educational items, which is great (i.e. actual elements combining to make compounds, to teach chemistry concepts).

Nice toilet sounds and graphics! Too random with the combinations, though.

Well done. Very fun. My kids are standing around me wanting me to play it some more...so I'll get back to it.
Got stuck on Army of the Dead. Got almost everything else :(

To be honest, it's such a simple idea. And yet it is fun to find out what you came up with.
I got stuck at Army of the Dead as well. There is a certain logic to most items, but I didn't want to get down to trying all combinations.
