Also, the game later loads lots of atoms on the conveyors without you having any chance to clear them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It would be neat if the conveyors would actually speed up, the game does feel sluggish although it technically isn't."},{"author_name":"Peter Cooper","author_uid":"7243","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 4:22am","epoch":1335241020,"text":"Really enjoyed this. Much harder than it looks on the surface. Also really enjoyed the writeup on the blog. I def recall a game in the 80s on the BBC Micro that involved conveyors and reversing them, etc, forget what it's called. Anyway, nice one."},{"author_name":"johanp","author_uid":"608","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 11:34am","epoch":1335266940,"text":"A bit sluggish but fun combo system!"},{"author_name":"SaiKai","author_uid":"5295","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 11:36am","epoch":1335267060,"text":"cool game. sadly the balancing is a bit off.. when you drop an atom it would be best to clear out all the other atoms on the belts... when i played i lost 3 lives right after another, because there where 3 atoms falling at the same time"},{"author_name":"DaveDobson","author_uid":"10977","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 5:05pm","epoch":1335286800,"text":"Cool game - felt a lot like Tapper, but the combo thing made it more complex.  Took a while to figure out how it worked - maybe some more instructions would help.

It's fun and loved the retro feel on the graphics and sound fx. Good entry overall.

Would have liked to see some other level of complexity. I feel like the strategy is just &quot;grab the balls, try to make combos if you can&quot;.  Maybe there was something I was missing.
