Seems like the music might be bugged. It sounded like multiple versions of it were playing simultaneously. I got stuck on the third level. I tried multiple different combos but none seemed to work. I'm not sure why I can't combine some elements other than, well, you know, science. Would be cool if the combinable chemicals were different colors (like Oxygen being red) to make it more obvious what moves are available."},{"author_name":"Anny","author_uid":"31472","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:24am","epoch":1398655140,"text":"The music is awful I know, it's the first &quot;track&quot; i've ever made and did it literally half an hour before end time.
