Great concept, but it moves a bit too slow for my liking.
If this was a bit more fast paced i would play the crap out of this.

This game reminds me Osmos a lot. Fun to play.

Nice and simply gameplay. Sometimes I don“t know, when I will win, but it is triffle. Fantastic work!

Love the music ! Especially when you reach a new level.
Nice graphics ! But a little slow on web.

Very interesting game. Good job.
But I don't like the concept of moving a character to interact with something that resembles a puzzle. Would perhaps liked it more if movement was faster, more direct.

Neat game, however my experience was hindered by the web page moving when I pressed the arrow keys or space. The easiest, most painless solution that I can suggest (however by far not the best solution) is that you set the style of the html or body tag to use overflow:hidden. This disables scrollbars. You need to ensure your page is understandable without scrollbars tho.

Should use preventDefault() on the up/down keydown events to keep the page from scrolling during play on the web version. Downloaded the jar instead.

Interesting concept, gets pretty chaotic but it's a pretty colors kind of chaotic so I can dig it.

Cool soundtrack too. :)

Other than your iframe being a bit too small (the arrow keys nudged the window around as well as moved the player) this was a fun game. Reminded me of a cross between Solar and Osmos, with more explosions.

Always happy to see people coming up with unique game mechanics. Great job!

rincewind_cz 2014-12-08 19:17

Definitely interesting idea! As others I would prefer faster movement. Also it's bit overwhelming at the beginning because I was unsure (i couldn't remember) what certain colors and shapes do to each other. But good job! (and small bug at the end: probably if the player already won, this result shouldn't change as the side effect of simulation progressing on the background ;)

borgi 2014-12-09 00:18

Great idea! Very good music! My only probelm was that I was scrolling when I pushed up/down :( Good job!

frenzyasii 2014-12-09 01:29

awesome :)

What a shame. . . this Game would of been AWSOME if it wern't for the clunky move ment tho, but great atmosphere.

pontooncity 2014-12-09 01:32

Great idea, lots of fun

hd_ 2014-12-09 04:15

Cool idea, seems like a solid puzzle game. Got some frame dropping though, not sure why.

grid96 2014-12-10 17:32

Interesting idea with a chilling music.

rjhelms 2014-12-10 17:39

Really innovative concept. Controls felt a bit sluggish at first, but make a lot of sense once I got the hang of them.

delahee 2014-12-10 23:57

Very interesting ideas, takes a bit of time to grasp everything, but once you get it, you can start playing a bit more strategically :)
Nice audio too !

d3garcia 2014-12-10 23:59

excellent idea, I dont know if it's my browser but when I use the arrow keys, the web page moved all around. Other than that I really liked the game, awesome job.

ams 2014-12-11 00:04

Ok, I loved this x3 An intresting concept, a well thought rule system, good audio effects, particles and fun to play! Maybe I would work a bit more on the movement and controls of the main "figure", but good game overall ^^

karol 2014-12-11 00:05

An interesting idea. I'd prefer if it was a bit faster though.

wilson 2014-12-11 15:07

Nice concept, definitely requires some thought to play well.

redoxkun 2014-12-12 21:30

An interesting puzzle game. Good idea.

zi 2014-12-14 00:42

Very cool and innovative mechanics! Loved the music and atmosphere. I would have preferred easier controls on the player shape though. But anyway, excellent game! :)

benjamin-soule 2014-12-16 21:45

The mechanic is very innovative indeed but I'm totally unable to predict what will happen on each collision. I mean If I'm yellow and I push a yellow circle on a blue triangle. Will it change color ? With the triangle make the circle dissapear ?

There's two protagonists on a collision and without any additional informations on how you choose a power instead of another, I can't understand well how to play the game.

benjamin-soule 2014-12-16 21:48

ok nevermind :) I get it now. The gameplay is very good. could have work for the artifical life theme too.

jonah1nine 2014-12-18 00:50

Wow! Very cool game! Simple enough to understand, but really interesting how everything works. Took me quite a while to discover a good tactic.

Good job on the sounds too. Felt like I was in outer space! Well done!

pht59x 2014-12-18 12:27

Good idea, sound and music. But speed (or lack of it) is an issue.

felladrin 2014-12-22 16:57

Good game! Nice music and sounds!
