Nice concept :)
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD34 → DNA Polymerase

Nice concept :)
I like your idea in general. Could also be used at school. But I find it frustrating that the right tile sometimes is nowhere in sight an therefore can't be used. Also I don't understand the GameOver. Why is it happening? It's not because I picked the wrong nucleobase...
Very cool concept and especially nice graphics, but the game is pretty much unplayable. Some of the time there's no available correct nucleobase, and the GameOver screen seems arbitrary as well.
Could i compile the source into an android version with some minor tweaking? i would like to show this to my bio teacher :p
I never would have thought to use both themes in this way, it's a nice take on it.I saw this game from your post-mortem, and my critique of this game would pretty much cover the points you've already raised.
Sounds like you learned a hell of a lot - great job getting something in for the compo on your first go-around. I had to do 3 jam entries before I figured out what I was doing well enough to get something done in 48 hours.
nice concept, very easy if you have the right enzymes, as you just look for the same letter on the top row.
@Alarmed Dino Hell yeah :-) There are no left and right buttons on Android though so you'll have to change the InputController on the EventManager object and make the enzymes "tappable". I used UnityEvents so it should be very easy. I'll try to do just that when I get back from work tonight!
Thanks a lot for your feedback guys!
cool concept, nice job
Very cool concept with some very fun gameplay potential. I died a couple of times because there was no possible match, but with some nice music, a timer that reduces the amount of time you can pick the "right" enzyme amongst 2 as you go, this can make for a very cool entry. Nice job
Interesting idea. Makes me want to learn more about DNA to know what I'm doing.
I liked the concept but it could use a little polish. Very nice game overall though.
I thought DNA was CA or TG, this is very odd - not sure its a full game right now. Also not sure why you only put yourself forward for 3 categories.
Cool game; I like the idea. Sounds like it was inspired by chemistry class? I thought the game was pretty fun, but I think it would be a lot better if it was more of a challenge. Now, there isn't really anything wrong with walking away from your computer and coming back in an hour or so. Maybe if you had like 3 seconds to pick the next one and you lost a life if you pressed the wrong one or waited too long it would be more challenging. Also, the bug where you are never sure that there will be a right answer is kinda game-breaking...
Fun concept. I couldn't always undertand the loosing conditions and the enzymes sometimes were out of the camera's field.
Funny. Well done ++
Interesting idea but I'm not sure it's working properly. Would potentially make for an interesting puzzle game if sequencing the DNA required the player to look ahead in order to plan; instead, the player is just reacting to the current situation and picking the correct choice out of two available.
Haha, that was super cool! I've seen a few "use the DNA to grow the thing" type of games on this compo, but a puzzle-matching game is super neat.
I found the gameplay a bit complicated, but once I figured it out I had fun. Thanks for uploading!
