Quite like the feeling of elemental transformation

But the whole process got a little too out of hand and the game's goal wasn't very clear Often it feels like the little element I added doesn't have much impact on the board as a whole. It's more like I'm just watching

Consider making the board smaller so that each piece would be more useful. Also consider adding some AOE effect props, it would be more interesting.

The graphics are quite clear and it would've been nice to have a closer view to appreciate them. It's kind of hard to tell what's happening as a result of your actions, and the idea of maintaining the chaos doesn't really mesh well with the theme. I understand that it's unstable as the board can spiral out of control, but its not exactly clear. As a second Ludum Dare though, it's pretty impressive! Well done.

I played on Android and struggled at first, but then realized I had to turn my phone to landscape mode (I would suggest forcing landscape in the future). The graphics were nice, but zoomed out too far. Once I got a hang of what I was doing it was pretty fun to place tiles and see how things took over. I thought it was a little easy to keep things stable. I thought the game fit the theme well. I would suggest tweaking some code to make it a little more challenging (without being too difficult). Nice game!
