Amazing game, The idea is very creative game

That's amazing. It took me a second to understand what's going one, but once I figured it out, It was a blast. Really enjoyed this game and the puzzle aspect is truly amazing. Good job!

OMG the atmosphere is so good! The background music the color scheme, the simplicity in the movement give it such chill vibes. Unfortunately I did not understand how to solve the puzzles. I'll bookmark this, perhaps someone can explain as I got stumped by level 2 even 😰

I'm very happy you liked the atmosphere :) Let me give a try explaining the mechanics. Resources go in circles, and always have a fixed time to do one iteration. When a cell transform the state/phase of the resource, this also adds extra time. The cells will die if they don't get the resource in the right phase/status within a certain time. So the order of cells matters a lot - for example in level 2 if on the circle the order is black, black, white, white - then the resource is forced to do 2 circles and one of the cells (the second in order) will die. To win a map, you need to place all of your cells from your deck and live for some time -- so you cannot allow any cell deaths. In level 2 therefore the right order of cells are black, white, black, white - so the resource will be transformed multiple times within one circle. I hope this helps. Let me know if you find any other maps difficult, happy to chat about them.

The art style was really cool. I also really liked the music. Took a bit to figure out what was going on, definitely a fun play.

Submitted

cool visuals and vibe! To make it better, I'd suggest adding some more feedback to the player during the level, I was a bit confused on what exactly I was supposed to be doing! Good job.

Submitted

cool game, nice creativity!

Is the goal to make the cells survive as long as possible, or is there more to it after all of them are placed? It was interesting to watch though, and the atmosphere was great!

Submitted

Really good game!

An incredibly creative interpretation of the theme, and a fun game. I think that some more sound effects would have helped it to feel more satisfying, though :)

Developer

Oh yes! So many ideas on sound, so little time :)

This is really intresting take on theme. Simple and clean art and gameplay.

Great entry!

Cool game! I was a little confused how to play at first, but I eventually figured it out. You made me enjoy science!!

I think this is a really cool concept for a puzzle game!! It's very easy to just play for a bit and zone out. Great job!
