Cool Game

lxd1 2014-12-08 03:14

Challenging, but very fun. Nice entry

raincole 2014-12-08 03:16

Neat. It's more strategical than I expected.

floatingghost 2014-12-08 03:17

Gets hard quicky, looks very pretty though

chris-delta 2014-12-08 03:19

Very interesting, though I would've played much more of it had it been more challenging.

greenyuk 2014-12-08 03:19

Love this! Never played anything like it. I did have a problem that they tend to want to just grow outwards, and after a certain point I was bigger than the screen so couldn't see what was coming. Having the ability to zoom out would help, but great job. :)

lawls 2014-12-08 03:20

Hard to understand at first, but neat mechanic

egos 2014-12-08 03:21

good idea
But you cant predict the next move because youi c'ant see soon the color arrival or the rotation speed is too small

andrea 2014-12-08 03:22

Great job, unusual game!

somfunambulist 2014-12-08 03:30

Mode 2 was a great challenge! Mode 3 was frustrating though -- the molecules don't come within a close enough range and I spun for about 40 seconds without any yellow getting close enough to catch. Mode 2 is definitely the high point though.

sri-harsha-chilakapati 2014-12-08 03:35

Cool game, but it get's hard quickly.

endesga 2014-12-08 03:45

Awesome game :D Fun, and challenging!

nuclearnapalm 2014-12-08 05:43

Easy to start, hard to master. As the game should be.

tonypai 2014-12-08 05:49

It's pretty cool! It's easy to play, and the level design is also good. Well, now I know I don't have any gift to become crazy scientist. XD

karlipoppins 2014-12-08 06:36

Very polished game. Original and fun to play. Thanks!

ian-morrison 2014-12-08 06:49

Challenging and interesting! The third challenge seems almost impossible, but I very much enjoyed the first two

von-hunt 2014-12-08 06:58

Simple and effective visuals + great mechanics = win. Great job on this one

proximal-pyro 2014-12-08 07:23

Really cool game. The thing I don't like is that you can lose an entire branch. It makes it pointless to play after you have done that, atleast in number 3 which I tried. Otherwise great work!

techblogogy 2014-12-08 07:50

Nice fun and challenging game. Good job!

spazzarama 2014-12-08 09:00

Nice work

soron 2014-12-08 09:14

Nifty idea. Level 1 is fun, level 2 was irritating (took too long to generate, and there wasn't much indication of what I should do).

Also, get less bleepy audio :P. Or gen less bleepy audio, if you were using sfxr.

wandersenus 2014-12-08 09:25

what a good game!!!

opengl 2014-12-08 09:29

Very good idea.

lisac 2014-12-08 09:36

Very interesting concept :)

kedume 2014-12-08 09:54

Cool game. It reminded me the game "Balls" for smartphones.

bogden 2014-12-08 10:20

Neat game!

groydis 2014-12-08 10:51

Excellent Game, The chemistry nerd in me is geeking out.

dyn 2014-12-08 12:55

Awesome gameplay.
First time seems hard (because of a lot info slides), but after a while very intuitive and fun!

wooltech 2014-12-08 13:20

Fun game on levels 1 and 3, but I had a problem on level 2 where it seemed to be spawning for ages, so I just skipped that one. The graphics work well for this, and I like the growing atoms mechanic.

kulomin 2014-12-08 14:31

I love how the difficulty ramps up once you get bigger

hatsome 2014-12-08 14:50

Seems easy at first, but gets harder fast. Had fun playing it.

sharp911 2014-12-08 14:50

Cool concept. I like it.

legiion 2014-12-08 18:17

A very interisting chemical Game

terrytheplatypus 2014-12-08 19:11

interesting idea, but it seems like you should get rid of the generating screen, because the game starts right away

luminar 2014-12-08 19:38

I liked it, but I have no clue if the third one is even possible, if it is then it must be really hard or I'm just very stupid.

doubstract 2014-12-08 20:08

It's very challenging in late game, great piece of art!

nobuyoshi 2014-12-08 23:07

Great job! I really like it.

drtizzle 2014-12-08 23:10

Very nice! Because you have to destroy some molecules there is some strategy involved. I also like the small animations when it grows!

wezley 2014-12-08 23:25

Awesome game! Good job!

jacksgamessucks 2014-12-08 23:37

really nice game! congrats!

kitch 2014-12-09 00:36

Whew.. that's a tough game. But a really solid concept and a lot of fun. Very good looking game as well, lot of potential here. Good work. Thanks!

quexd 2014-12-09 01:02

Very good. I thought it was a little slow then I past the 10 second mark.

cheshyr 2014-12-09 03:14

This is clever. Game 2 is bugged, but 1 and 3 were a good time.

kunonooni 2014-12-09 03:15

Neat idea. Liked that there were multiple modes of play.

watercressstudios 2014-12-09 03:30

Terribly clever. I love how many tactical choices there are to make with only two inputs. I was trying to go around and sample everything, but I think I'll just play this for a while.

kburkhart84 2014-12-09 03:36

Nice entry. Make some more levels and you have a good mobile/casual game. It is unique.

indieindio 2014-12-09 04:30

nice !

http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=46736 check out our game

flashlight 2014-12-09 05:14

Very innovative, never tried game like this before; the strategy is not very clear, but working to find a good strategy is indeed what this game is about, good job! The audio might be a bit monotone, and humor is not sensed in this game (typically when it fails). But, the game is of great fun and nice entry!

ozcr 2014-12-09 05:18

Really cool game!

Give mine a try, http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44154

xilencex 2014-12-09 05:30

This was really relaxing to play, but maybe a bit too easy, despite the casual genre.

flashlight 2014-12-09 05:32

It seems that the second game mode has some problem..It always keep generating but does not start the game..

johngalt 2014-12-09 06:13

Yes. That is a bug. I can't finish to fix it in 48 hours.

geckoo1337 2014-12-09 06:40

Challenging, but very fun. Nice entry. Neat ++

HelkeGames 2014-12-09 09:53

Challeging game! Well done! I like it!

warboys 2014-12-09 11:59

I played Level 2 (i liked the fire symbol) and it was hard but I didn't feel there was anything I could do to make it easier. Once the strains got too long, the whole thing seemed so arbitrary and random.

Neat idea though.

hippolyta 2014-12-09 12:35

Simply a good game! :-)
Well done!

tritegames 2014-12-09 12:43

That was fun and a good idea :)

tortoise 2014-12-09 13:49

Nice idea. I liked that the gameplay was challenging and took more thinking than i expected. I feel it should be more zoomed out though, it got really hard to play around having long segments.

friggingames 2014-12-09 14:17

That was really fun! I really enjoyed playing it. A neat strategy game that ramped up in difficulty quickly.

daviosmash 2014-12-09 16:24

A fun game, I wish I could tell what was going to happen a bit better, but it was fun all the same. Interesting idea.

spitfire87 2014-12-09 17:10

Cool idea, the second level was very enjoyable, hard but doable. The third lvl looked imposible. ¿Anyone did it?

Really liked it and played for a while. Is is a great Compo entry. Good job!

arkrothe 2014-12-09 19:36

Quite challenging and fun! A very cool twist on the mechanic :)

miznoruri 2014-12-09 20:48

Very cool!
It's really fun and creative.
Graphics are also very nice.

pjimmy 2014-12-10 02:07

love it, very original and challenging, well done :)

ky533541 2014-12-10 02:32

For some reason this game reminds me of Dr. Mario. Maybe the colors? Anyway I like the mechanic, giving different powers based on which molecule you collect more of is a really cool twist, it gives you more of a reason to prioritize one color over another if you end up having to choose.

murchurl 2014-12-10 09:05

Really interesting idea, I dig it!

fergusontv_ld31 2014-12-10 10:04

Cool game. Gets hard quickly

pete_h 2014-12-10 22:40

Very clever, GJ :)

domicuc 2014-12-11 15:29

Awesome graphics x) and Gameplay! Also check my project x)

simonchauvin 2014-12-11 15:41

This is very cool to play. Well done.

hendri 2014-12-11 16:05

The game can get pretty hard over time. Just an idea but the game would be little bit easier if the camera would go a little bit further away from the molecule.

tmpxyz 2014-12-11 16:24

nicely done.

pinpickle 2014-12-12 23:06

I enjoyed this, but I'm not really seeing the theme in it!

rothens 2014-12-12 23:15

Needs more levels, but it's already cool enough :)

zkenshin 2014-12-12 23:25

This was cool and gets difficult pretty quick. Great job!

gungnir 2014-12-13 08:48

Interesting but I felt like I had minimal control over the final result. The long strings of molecules kept getting in the way.

Lucariatias 2014-12-20 15:38

Interesting mechanic, pretty fun to play around with, but not much to it. Hard, but strategic. Perhaps good for a mobile game?
