I love the theme! Rooted in philosophy and makes one think. Very repetitive though, lots of trial-and-error, which eventually gets a little boring and tedious.

Boy do I love Doodle God. I actually haven't seen too many people try that formula, I liked your approach to visualizing the concept, it really helps me remember which combos I've tried already so I don't look like a fool (again, something Doodle God constantly does). One thing about this game is that it can a little tricky guessing what things may combine with what so it can come down to a lot of trial and error. Nice, ambient atmosphere which matches the theming very well.

was able to beat it! Had to use the cover image hints though, as it's so many possible combinations. It ends up being a lot of guess and check, but I liked some of the surprising combinations.

Pretty simple, reminds me of those alchemy games that let you mix things until you would get something new. I like the things it gives you to mix around with, fits theme nicely as well :) Pretty relaxing game but i think it would be nice if background wasn't just a solid color, felt a little bit dull

Nice entry. Really relaxing and really interesting with a good track as background music (that bass). The way you work the theme is unusual. However I would like to read some tutorial or large explaination. There is so many combinaisons. I had fun playing. Thank you ++

Loved the music! This game could use a tutorial for mixing "ingredients", I've gotta admit I was clicking them instead of actually dragging and dropping :sweat_smile: Never played these kinds of game before...

Unsure if it would help or harm the game, but would be interesting if when you clicked an element it showed which have already been tested with it

Nice game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/RIViZJOE9ps

Cool game! It was really interesting to discover new things! But it was a bit boring with nothing else to do. But overall, well done! It looks smooth, and I didn't run into any issues at all (:

very interesting mechanics to discover new things, this could go very far into this exploring process by combining previous elements

Great concept & use of the theme! Though there were some great eureka moments, a lot of things I expected to work didn't, so it felt a bit like trial and error at times - would be cool if there was some hint system built into the game (faint lines between nodes maybe?) Really cool experience, nice work!

It was a very chill and fun way to explore various concepts. I found it kind of tedious to try and figure out combinations once there were >8 nodes on the board ---it seemed to be mostly guesswork. For the scope of the game, it was pretty good!

It's an interesting game, but I've always had the worst time with these type of games; that's not really a reflection on the game, just how terrible I am at this genre. :D
