HTML5 (web) link offers rar file, you might want to change the link type to "source code". Also playarea resolution is too large for small displays (for example 15,6" laptop), maybe responsive layout next time? But other than those, I did like the game :)

I now know how atoms feel. 5 stars.

wujood 2017-12-04 20:34

Nice game :)

I thought it was a lovely little game! I love the simplicty of it and dragging around shapes was fun. It almost started getting repetitive before you introduced the little black repulsion thingys so great work there! My only complaint is that there isn't a timer or anything that can prevent you from completing a level.

mazzletov 2017-12-04 20:38

Cool. I'm wondering what your general coding approach was?

be3n2 2017-12-04 20:39

Brilliant game, simple but done really well. The cells that push all the others away was also a great way to make the player think more about what their doing instead of just moving things around. No complaints about this one! Also I love the way the "thank you" is displayed, it looks great.

Nice game ! I enjoyed the physics of the game, it was fun to mess around with it. I get the end message on a wrong order however, probably a little bug :p

jani-nykanen 2017-12-04 20:40

I like the concept and the simple, clean graphics.

tad 2017-12-04 20:40

This is fantastic! Really well done on all counts!

mark-kennedy 2017-12-04 20:43

Minimalist Games, the soul music of indie games! Loved it, calm, yet challenging.

mgadrat 2017-12-04 20:43

Simple and addictive game :) I like very much.

move127 2017-12-04 20:49

This game is amazing. Everything works together perfectly to create a fun and satisfying experience. The thank you at the end was a nice touch. Please make more levels.

rialgar 2017-12-04 22:35

I love it! The simplicity and playfulness of it all are brilliant. It was not challenging, because it did not need to be. It was relaxing and rewarding.

Add more varied obstacles, soothing background ambiance and little 'blub' sounds and the next mobile hit is done! (maybe random level generation after the authored levels)

relsqui 2017-12-04 23:35

This is a really neat premise. It was super fun to play on a touch screen -- very soothing. With a little more structure and difficulty it would make a great mobile game.

fashionbatman 2017-12-04 23:59

Hey I loved this. Great on a touch screen. It needs a tiny bit of audio work and it will be perfect. Good job!

This game chilled me so hard I had to put on socks and make myself a hot cocoa. If you ever release it on mobile, I will find it and I will play it.

bradleysmith 2017-12-05 04:39

Loved this. :)

valkyrie 2017-12-05 08:24

Really interesting puzzle concept, I don't think I've seen this done before. Very relaxing.

jeroenwimmers 2017-12-05 08:48

Thanks for the comments everyone!

@mcfish The game should be responsive, itch just locks it down. Sometimes it can get too big though, but try it on http://www.jeroenwimmers.com/LDJAM/LD40/ (it doesn't always want to load, my provider is having some troubles)

@mazzletov Not sure what coding approach I used but you can find the source here: http://www.jeroenwimmers.com/LDJAM/LD40/Plastic.rar For the basic setup I used a bunch of classes from a previous project

@psychedelia Haha that sounds super comfy! I definitely want to get it on mobile at some point

wowa 2017-12-05 08:55

this was fun, could be a bit longer ;) but definitely perfect themed entry!

oldpeculier 2017-12-05 11:43

Cool concept, nicely executed. Overall it feels too easy (an unusual problem on Ludum Dare), but other than that, perfect.

alexandru-buhai 2017-12-05 14:20

Very good game, with a great execution on the controls, I missed the some background music, other than that amazing! I would love it on mobile as well

meskaline 2017-12-05 14:47

Simple and awesome game. I'd love this on my phone. GJ!

agulev 2017-12-05 14:57

Great meditative game!

tvance 2017-12-05 16:27

This is really cool. Original idea, executed well.

saintheiser 2017-12-05 16:40

Love this one! Very relaxing game =) Also like the visual aesthetics =)

rhythmlynx 2017-12-06 14:07

Fantastic game, I really love it! You've got the weights of things just right, it's very satisfying to throw a shape into orbit and have it fall down right where you wanted. Really enjoyed how pleasant the visuals are.

I'm not sure if you're supposed to be able to complete levels when different chains of shapes overlap? Like two triangles are connected and two circles are connected and those connections overlap to form an X. I chose to play as if that weren't allowed as I found it more fun to try and get every chain fully connected and separate.

jeroenwimmers 2017-12-06 15:12

@rhythmlynx Hey, glad you liked it! And you're right, those overlapping shapes are not really ideal. I tried to prevent that from happening, but it still happens sometimes. Still gotta tweak those forces a bit I think

reality-blind 2017-12-07 11:27

That was a pleasant experience, thanks a lot, I will try the mobile version :)

davda 2017-12-07 11:33

Very cool game! The simplistic graphics looks great. I would probably enjoy it more if it was more challenging.

le-slo 2017-12-07 11:50

This game is so smooth, simple puzzle idea with a couple of interesting ideas, I enjoyed it a lot. Lack of sound is somehow disappointing. Nice game!

sand-gardeners 2017-12-07 11:52

Very pleasing to play with these little bubbles!

jlreymendez 2017-12-07 11:54

I like the graphics and the mechanics idea. But I wasn't sure about the difficulty, didn't look to challenging even with the black dots.

But in general I liked it.

dunin 2017-12-07 12:09

Nice looking game. Zen and smooth mood. But there is not really a challenge there. Maybe more type of interactions could improve it on a real puzzle game...

valandre 2017-12-07 12:47

Really cool game ! Quite easy, but good mechanics and very pleasant to play. Good job !

krammetje 2017-12-07 12:49

Fun little game. Just feels a bit to easy.

2017-12-07 15:08

Super fun little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yel2Ap19z6s

alexfalkenberg 2017-12-07 15:30

Slick presentation, and a great concept you could almost certainly flesh out and publish, but a little light on mechanics as presented; I wasn't really feeling clever when playing; more like I was cleaning up or something. That said, I think I see an awesome game in here, and I'd really love to see more. Congrats and have a great LD!

joramwolters 2017-12-07 16:54

One of my favourites this LD, very clean looking, wonderfully executed. I could easily see this as an addictive mobile game!

fis 2017-12-07 19:11

This game is special.

I believe this could work out well if you add a timer and a highscore board :3

velvetlobster 2017-12-08 00:28

Addictive, relaxing and it does get a bit challenging after some levels! Absolutely love it!

seano 2017-12-08 12:35

Was easy and looked nice. good stuff

talia 2017-12-08 16:48

nice to play in the meantime! haha quite funny - you have to sort "Thanks for playing" as well =)

jan-netusil 2017-12-11 10:19

Great aesthetics! This is really my cup of tea. It reminds me works of graphic designer Ladislav Sutnar. Thanks for the experience.

ibrahimshersha 2017-12-16 15:34

The game is nice and i was playing it for about 15 mins again and again without my knowledge. Good work

blinry 2017-12-17 19:44

This is brilliantly executed, and looks very polished! I love the minimalist, abstract graphics, and the attention to detail, like the nodes being larger when they're not connected, or that connected nodes draw others with them. Gameplay is not really challenging, but satisfying. That the game only takes a few minutes to finish is perfect for this context, and I really like the ending! :) Too bad there's no sound. Thanks for making this game!
