Game Description
Find out what's inside the test tubes. Combine two chemicals to see a unique reaction
How does your game tie into the theme?
Every combination is unpredictable. You do not know in advance what your experiment may lead to. This can be a simple change in the color of the solution or an explosion

Really cute and fun puzzle game! Awesome that you did all the art and audio.
It took me a bit to figure out that the sink fixed the broken beaker– A small tutorial might have been helped with that!
Great work!
I really enjoyed the game. Very cool idea! It took me a little to understand the gameplay but once I did, I got hooked in trying out the combinations and solving the puzzles
Thank you for your feedback!
Somehow it took me a lot of time to see the 'Notes' button, but after that the idea was easy to grasp.
I think the only problem is that, if I understand correctly, the levels are randomly generated, so there're some that have multiple solutions. Example:
Notes: 1+3 explosion, 1+4 explosion, 1+3 hexagons.
After some tests, I got these three cases, assigned each number and the unused flask I assign the 2 value, but it was wrong. Then I did more tests and realized that the 2 and 3 flasks behaved exactly the same.
Beside that, it's a very interesting game, congrats!
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, all puzzles are randomly generated, but all the generated combinations are unique, and there is only one correct solution. I would appreciate it if you could add a screenshot of the notes where similar combinations give different reactions.
I didn't think about taking a screenshot at the time, but if you've already noticed this, maybe I got the level/grades wrong.
Really cool idea, this is giving me ideas for some games of my own :)
Thank you for your feedback!
Very clever! I enjoyed the puzzles, what a well thought-out game. Nice clean graphics too.
Thank you for your feedback!
I studied chemistry and just don't understand the game. No matter how much of which colour I take, sometimes a colour comes out, sometimes it bubbles, sometimes there are ice cubes in it and sometimes it explodes. I tried so many combinations, but at some point I didn't want any more. I like the detail that you can move the papers around in the background.
The point of the puzzle is pick the correct number for the test tube ("+" and "-" buttons above and below test tube, respectively). The mixing mechanic is more like a condition for the puzzle, not a solution. I wanted to add an interactive tutorial to the puzzle, but didn't do it because of luck of experiance and time.
Thank you for your feedback!
The font size is a bit too small for me.
It took me some time to understand how the puzzle works,
That’s a very interesting puzzle
Thank you for your feedback!
Pretty cool game! you did a good job on the logic here. I think another nice twist would be if you would be able to have results that are not unique so you actually have to test further / e.g. by using different combinations. Good job!
Thank you for your feedback!
Nice idea, it fits the theme really well! I enjoyed playing this. The concept could be extended further if you could mix more than two chemicals together at once, and maybe add a limit to the number of flasks you are allowed to break.
Thank you for your feedback!
