I like the novel interpretation and the polish. It's easy not to fail, but I actually consider it a plus, as it creates the freedom for different playstyles. Very enjoyable.

Great concept that reflects the theme nicely! I would have liked it to be a bit more challenging. Overall it was great for 5 hours and I hope to see more games done by you under the 3 hour limit in the future!

Developer

Agreed on the difficulty. I wish I didn't do the leaderboard now, because it would've put me at about 3 hours work, but I'll make a mental note for next time. Thanks for playing!

I really enjoyed the science theme for this game and how it pertained to the jam theme. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered I could force electrons to collide to get a bonus, and I thought it was really ambitious for you to try to make a leaderboard and give the game an arcade feel! My only complaint is that I found this game to be way too easy; my proton would be fine staying in one spot and adjusting its position when needed, and even with the nice attention to detail, it got a little boring after a while as I didn't have to do much work. I think making the other electrons faster and making my own feel more useful would add some flavor to the gameplay, along with the already nice graphics and effects.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I agree the difficulty should ramp up a lot faster than it does. I wish I didn't bother with the leaderboard now, because it would've given me time to iron out things like this. Oh well there's always next time :)
