Amazing, I got a score of 4637, my biggest combo being 366. It's so fun to make large chains that trigger each other and give you a ton of points at once. I could keep playing this game for a long time, but there are more games to rate.
Great game, I had a lot of fun!

Very highly polished game, and the core gameplay loop is perfect! Trying to get those chain reactions in the right order is engaging, really enjoyed it and easily one of my favorite games :D

Super fun and addicting. The game loop has the exact right amount of planning to keep you engaged with enough payoff to make you feel like your work is worth it. The art and the audio works super well together, and the tutorial is perfect. Incredible!

great puzzle game ! ill definitely be back!

You've nailed the unexpected consequences part that a lot of modern games in this genre lack. Having a good idea of what will happen but being surprised by something better happening is a really good pattern.

If you can port this to phones, I think it would do crazy numbers.

Extremely well-made puzzle game. Give it another week of polish, a month of QA, and it is good to ship.

Developer

Hahahah aye aye, thank you for the praise!

Incredible project, the visuals, polish, music, game feel, and the mechanics are all amazing I have no notes. Like some other people have said this game could be a small steam game. This is the best game ive played so far great job.

Developer

That's very very kind, thank you so much!

Game was so good and nice to play I spent 30 minutes playing it without realizing. Awesome gameplay loop! If you keep with this game I would love to see how this system can be ramped up for huge numbers. I made it to Rank 14 and ran out of upgrades to get. 4309 was my final score!

Developer

That's a wild score, well done! Tysm for spending so much time on it

Cool game! I was a bit confused by what would happen with block placements, but the explosions were really cool to see! Real science-y and lab magical!

Really cool game! The gameplay is really simple to understand, but there are some really cool combos you can do. I had to stop myself so I could review more games!
Also the art/sfx are really good and the game is very polished in general. Good work!

Developer
