if that was your intent that is totally understandable! In that case it was doing its job. It was kinda fun trying to figure out what combined with what.
I had more fun with this then with typical "ball combiner" games, mostly because there was more strategy to it. I did wish the items were about 50-100% larger, some it was hard to tell what they were. Otherwise, everything worked as I expected and I had fun.
I think a cool way to expand would be the cookieclicker route with lots of upgrades you can buy (larger tank, double drop items, store one item for later etc.).
Thank you for playing. Some of the balls are tied to some stuff for their size, but I think the coin could be a little bigger, due to the animation it has. I think it could be cool to add upgrades in the future with a second screen to go to to see the upgrades. I'll 100% think about it and see how things go before adding it, since it would require adding a bit for it to work well and to maintain some sort of game balance.
Can't figure out fusion and nuclears just from ingame-tutorial, had to read description. Still, kinda interesting to mix alchemy-craft type of game with Tetris. But I would make it something more grid-based, like Tetris itself or match3s.
Random UX complaint: On the title screen, the game title is the same font as the main menu options, making it seem like it's one of the options.
It's very loud! Sound controls would be good.
Uh honestly I just don't understand this game. I clicked and stuff fell but I didn't see anything combine. Then I got big nuclear things and I lost? Then I played again and I didn't see any nuclear things but I still lost. Just didn't get it I dunno
Maybe I should make a better tutorial, there is a lot of mechanics and depth to the game with managing ball sizes, where if certain balls are too big or small, it leads to a game over. Thank you for the feedback.
why is the crane empty half of the time that i click
why do i combine abunch of circles just to get a useless fucking barrel that just gets destroyed by a random meteor, but the meteor doesn't destroy the big evil radioactive circle but instead makes it bigger?
why do the bombs sometimes explode and sometimes not
MONKEY????
my highscore is 1,260 and i'm not sure if this game is supposed to have any logic but i think i like it more than i hate it
1. It might be due to a bug with getting the same thing as what was just dropped and the game doesn't know how to react, should be a simple fix. EDIT: I did upload a new build that fixes it.
2. Barrels are for containment, if they collide with a nuclear ball, it absorbs some of it. The main goal, and the best way to get points, is to feed the human balls to make them bigger, prevent things from colliding with the nuclear balls to make the humans bigger and the nuclear balls smaller. The fireball blowing everything up when hitting a nuclear ball creates a nuclear explosion.
3. Bombs explode when they are close to something. So throwing it down next to nothing keeps it alive, but if something hits it, it goes off. Having the bomb being a bit more unique compared to the fireball with more interactivity is what it needed.
4.If you blow up a monkey barrel, it's probably gonna have a monkey in it. They can turn into other animals depending with what they interact with. Same thing with humans getting sick if they tough certain things or turn into other things if they get big enough.
5. Glad you enjoyed it. Maybe I didn't do enough to explain it in game since there is a bit to the game for depth.

It was an interesting game. I was struggling to understand all the interactions but still had fun.
Thank you for playing. Yeah the game needs a better tutorial for the base stuff and a lot of the stuff with the game is figuring out new combinations.

HOLY SHIT A CAT

Ok, thank you, the Tutorial needs a bit more to explain the fusion process more. Thank you for playing.
