Great game! Simplistic, yet fun
Ah man, I love every PICO-8 game I play, and this one is no exception. It's absolutely lovely, the spiraling animations are gorgeous, and the color palette is charming too. Marvelous work.
I really like
it's a well done and polished game :)
We had a lot of fun testing your game during our live stream today, here is a link to the video archive if you missed it or wish to check again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoMEaPCVoCU&t=9032s
Thanks! It was fun looking at you both playing the game! ;)
I really liked the music. The 2D graphic made it hard to focus but it was good.
Thanks for your comment! You played on a computer or mobile phone? The difficulty was because of the size of the letters?
I think that it looks really unique as a retro-game console game. The low graphics make it stand out a lot, and the auto-generated levels make it so you can play the game for as long as you want and have everything be unique!!
Love it!
Really strong entry, polished and well made. Though the puzzle isnt much of a puzzle as it is too free with choice to finish. Great overall though.
That was really cool! I definitely agree it tended to generate pretty easy levels, would love to see what designed levels could be like, or maybe the difficulty can be made more consistent just with more tweaking? Great work!
Unique puzzle game that suits the theme really well. Love the look and sound. Only critisim I could say is that the puzzles are on the easy side.
Man the animations, graphics and level generation was all awesome, how many people were on your team, or did you do it alone, if so, congrats you're a genius
I did everything by myself except the music and sound effects.
I'm glad you liked it! ;)
Interesting concept, would be really cool if it was timed and randomized. And as the others have said, the polish is great.
Needs a few balancing tweaks, as you can beat the later levels without using all of the moves, but other than that, great work!
Nice puzzle game. Well polished. Completely in relation with the theme. My only (small) regrets is that the mutation menu takes a large part of the screen. Awesome job.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, fitting everything in a height of 128 pixels was quite challenging ;)
I love the idea, nice work!
I have a weak spot for awesome menus / UI, so i love this game. Clearly a lot of effort went into the UI and UI animations, simple game play yet polished game, i like it!
As usual, polish was the most time consuming but I like working on this aspect too.
Very neat, well executed game! Fits the theme perfectly, is well polished, and looks and sounds great. Maybe a bit easy, but nice job!
A very good, concise idea that is well executed. Good job!

Solid little puzzle game, easy to learn with great presentation. A very difficult genre to pull off in such restrictive circumstances.
I'd love to see the addition of chirality or something that takes into account the rotation/pairing of the structures. I started ignoring the pretty animations pretty soon after I noticed the letters were the only thing I needed to look at.
You're right. The animation are here for the "style", but you can't play using it. That's why I added the letters.
