I had a feeling that they they're supposed to overlap each other, and the chains where supposed to kill the molecule based on the colors at either end? But I can't say for certain. It would help my pea brain if I had a picture of them interacting so I can get a better idea of what it wants.\n\nsome minor points: \n- If you click on a color without dragging it onto the stage it will stay on top of the color picker. attempting to drag it off would make another molecule, and one was constantly stuck on the picker.\n- While the game is good, I'm not sure if it goes along with the theme","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"good.enough","author_uid":"1009540","time":"2019-05-01T16:42:36Z","epoch":1556728956,"modified":1556728956,"text":"I'm a bit confused... All I had to do was replicate the objective shown on the right, and I won.\n\nFrom the instructions, it seemed that there would be a lot of trial and error and logic trying to create a counter molecule to destroy a dangerous molecule, but then the answer is just given on the right.\n\nEdit: Okay, this worked on the easy and normal levels, but not on the hard. I actually had to play the game instead of just copying the thing on the right, which didn't help at all.. I am still confused as to why it is even there...\n\nBut yeah, despite the confusion, I thought this game was interesting and fun, although my mother watched for a while and then said, \"That looks incredibly boring!\"","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"tthe","author_uid":"1033089","time":"2019-05-01T17:28:59Z","epoch":1556731739,"modified":1556731739,"text":"Wow, I really didn't think that people would actually like the game, because I felt during the whole development, that it makes sense to us, but won't make sense to others.
