It's pretty fun, love the idea of explosion! But the atoms are moving a little bit too fast and it's not that easy to make the reaction happen, I couldn't survive for more than one minute... anyway, good job!

The web version didn't work for me. I couldn't get past the opening screen. But the take on the theme sounds interesting and the artwork looks nice.

great job! It's a blast to take the cannon and fire off a bunch of particles and try to balance the reactor. I wasn't the best at figuring out any good strategy to last really long but I still enjoyed the experience. Good job with the graphics and theme too!

Nice idea (i never seen something like that before). It perfectly fit the theme. You could have a fast improvement by use the 2 mouses buttons for the 2 types of particles instead of have the right button to swap the type. Thank you for your game

The in-game documentation is really helpful, without it I dont know if I would have figured out how to play. Sound design was great as well. Game was a bit tough, and almost felt like success was more random than the result of anything I did. Also, there was a delay with between moving the mouse and the direction the gun pointing that made it a little frustrating. With as fast as the temperature increases, this feels like the game is wanting you to react quickly, but the turning speed of the gun and the speed of each shot feels like it actively works against my efforts. I think if the turn speed matched the speed of the mouse movement, and you increase the speed at which particles are shot from the gun, this game could be a lot of fun!

Nice concept, I liked the mechanics of keeping the heat stable and switching particles. Graphics were good too. Seems like this entry could turn into a good puzzle-strategy game.

Very fun game! at times it kinda plays itself but the whole unstable vibe is very present. Great job!

Thanks all for the feedback and constructive criticism. @april-lehman, what browsers were you using? We are aware of some issues with Firefox. Thanks!

Interesting game, I found the gun a bit slow, It was really hard to hit other particles with your gun, as they were moving many times the speed of it. Due to that, and the way you had to predict multiple deflections ahead, it did seem almost random. My best run was the run I just shot as many times as I could.

Nice game! I couldn't last for longer than a couple minutes or so, but I loved the concept. I'm on my laptop so the first few times I tried playing with just the trackpad and I failed epically. It was definitely worth using the mouse for this one. Very fun game! :D

The concept is pretty cool, was tricky to get the hang of it at first but quite cool to watch when the reactions started reproducing themselves. I'm not sure if I got any better at playing it, but was an experience.

Game is fun. Liked graphics you made. Sound effects are good.

Fun games. It's hard to prevent the reactor explotiong for too long as the partcles are (too?) fast. Nice entry in the jam :)

albertmixalev 2021-10-09 14:09

At first it seems too easy, but after a minute and a half it is almost impossible to maintain a stable temperature. Or did I play it wrong) In any case, a good game, congratulations!

This was fun to play. At first it felt really easy by shooting one slow particle and another faster one of a different colour. But once the first mistake was made, everything collapsed quickly

trusty 2021-10-09 19:08

Fits the theme well, cool that you have to think ahead to succeed.

javicoder 2021-10-09 21:02

nice challenging game. I have died a few times but it is fun to play.

lereveur 2021-10-13 23:27

Easy to play, hard to master. I didn't understand how I could lower the temperature, but the game looks fine. Good job!

rengo 2021-10-14 08:20

pretty interesting however i have adhd and can't read what youre supposed to do so i had trouble understanding what to do

arlwin 2021-10-14 10:32

The game is fun, even though I had no idea what to do at the start. I love the physics and effects.

marcadia 2021-10-14 13:59

This game is the best idea but how could you expect to master this ! This is why it is really fun and addictive tho, good job

jeankb 2021-10-15 20:54

Really fun game, my only issue with it was that the cannon turnrate was a little too slow to my taste, and the game felt sluggish because of that. But besides that, everything else is really cool.
