Really love the take on the theme and good puzzles!

Developer

Thank you so much!

A very creative game with excellent puzzles. It's impressive that they were designed and implemented in such a short game jam. It turned out really well. Congratulations!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!

A really creative and fun take on the theme of this jam! The lore was immense and beautiful... The puzzles were satisfyingly complex and it had a good sense of progression! Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback and for playing!

Really creative game, that had me seriously scratching my head. Manipulating the spin of atoms to solve puzzles was a fantastic idea and you executed everything to a really good level for a 1 week game jam, the audio and visuals were great. Amazing work!

Developer

Thank you for this kind feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed my game and I hope you had fun! Thank you so much for playing!

I love puzzle games and I think this one was really cool! It was a fairly simple mechanic to understand and you managed to make a bunch of puzzles while also telling a story which I think is super impressive. In the final puzzle, I think I softlocked myself by setting these two to the same number, so I tried solving it for a LONG time until I realized I should restart, because they start off differently. I dont know if I actually was softlocked but I think so? If so, maybe there could be a popup that you can press R to restart, but I figured that out myself cause I am SO smart. Other than that, flawless puzzlegame, very good job!!! got both the endings!

Developer

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I got some other comments mentioning it but couldn't find it. This screenshot helps a lot! Sorry you had to restart the level though. Least you were able to figure out that you needed to restart because of your superior intelligence. Thank you so much for playing and getting both endings! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

I love the concept behind this game! I never would've thought of atoms, but it's such a clever play on the theme. And your mechanic works so well for a puzzle game. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! This means a lot to me!

No way! Finally someone made a better version of my game. Good take on the concept! This is significantly more fun when done as a puzzle game lmao. The puzzles were also super fun and intuitive to understand, good color coding and all, very easy to get right into the hang of it. Different mechanics were also handed out at a good pace. The only thing was that sometimes id just end up randomly clicking a bit to solve something cause the puzzles did get kinda hard to keep track of. but thats probably just a skill issue :p Anyways overall very well made game! sounds and visuals super nice and satisfying too.

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! I think we both ended up making the atomic spin idea in really unique directions. I wouldn't call mine a better version at all, just a different spin on the idea (pun absolutely intended). I'm really glad you enjoyed mine too. I tried to make the puzzles feel intuitive, so hearing that means a lot. Thanks for playing and for the kind words!

Submitted

A very interesting idea. With a bit of polish, it could even be released commercially.

Developer

That means a lot! Thank you so much!

I do not even love puzzle games, but this charming brilliant just mesmerized  me and did not let me out till I finished

Thank you so much for putting me on the stream! Loved to see you play it!

Submitted

it was so  fun to play, really great idea but i didnt understand it at first. I would love if there was an 3 ending after making 2 sides on puzzle 13. Keep goin mate

Developer(+1)

I would love an ending like that. Really glad you had fun! Thank you for playing! 

Submitted

Amazing game, loved the whole vibe and atmosphere it created! Gameplay was incredibly confusing but thats probably a skill issue from me, plus the rest of the visuals and whole story make up for it

Overall a really solid game, the atmosphere is what made it 5 stars for me

Developer

Thank you so much! I might have made a mistake making a puzzle game since I heard it can be so hit or miss but I am really glad I made it. I'm really glad you like the visuals and the story. Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted

Absolute banger of a game.

Developer

Thank you so much! Hope you had fun! Thank you for playing!

Developer(+1)

Glad you had a great time! Thank you so much for playing!

Really cool concept, liked the puzzle design and overall very polished!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!

I was really impressed by this excellent mix of puzzle and storytelling! The CRT effect was a great fit and all of the audio felt very natural and well done. Hard to believe this is your first game. Incredible!

Developer

I'm glad everything felt natural to you. Thank you so much for playing! 

Submitted

Absolutely awesome game! 

I'm the kind of person to just stumble my way to success with these games, but I enjoyed that stumble the entire time. I couldn't for the life of me figure out the right side of the last puzzle, but that's okay since H.A.I (who I love even if I shouldn't) are best friends :) and speaking of last puzzle, I loved how the ending was implemented!

I really enjoyed the narrative, and the the visuals and music complimented the theme perfectly. 

This was a delightful surprise of a game and I really enjoyed playing it, congratulations!

Developer

Thank you so much! I loved creating H.A.I and it is honestly my favorite part about this game. I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. Thank you so much for playing!

Awesome game, lots of fun to play. Enjoyed the overall progression across the 3 categories. Really great job! 

The purple text was really hard to read, especially on the last level. Not sure if that's just my monitor settings or the color against the background, but maybe think about changing that up a bit, perhaps adding a more opaque/higher contrast background behind the purple. 


Also, I think if you could lock the scrollbar on the text window until the text finished generating it would be nice. I was frequently attempting to zoom in or out when the text dialog popped up before it even started printing text and ended up scrolling before text appeared, so I had to scroll back to see the narrative.


Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for this feedback! Now that I'm paying attention to the purple text, I definitely agree that it can be a bit hard to read.
Thank you so much for playing!

Really nice puzzle game, i always love some science in my game. I'm almost to the last lvl, i'm going back to it. I must lock in. Really good job

Developer

Thank you so much!
