Ultimate Fusion by Thirrash

Have you ever wondered why all stars in the universe are so bright? If they are constantly burning, what is their fuel? Play the game and find out!
The game was made in the last 15h of the jam (LD topic turned out not to be compatible with Slavic Game Jam topic and game we made there :p).
POST-JAM EDIT: We would really appreciate all suggestions when it comes to improving the gameplay. Even if it would require changing core mechanics. All feedback is really important for us! Thank you in advance.

I had fun playing it! Good job! :smile:
The buildings didn't seem useful though, since they disappeared far too quickly after placing them. I kept finding myself clicking on the buildable icons in the bottom left instead of using the numbers. It would have been nice if they were buttons. The buttons in the menu at the end don't work, which means one has to sit through the loading screen each time one loses.
The idea is good, but the game could use some work to make it more fun.
Good entry though!
With some work, this could be really good! Well done! :D
Definitely a very novel idea, and an excellent use of the theme. Great entry :)
BTW I have found a little bug :)

I must say that your take on the theme is excellent! Gameplay was really innovative and you should continue building on this!
I think that the way you used camera is in this case just overcomplicating the game. Your idea is very good and in my opinion it would benefit the most from simple static camera above the area(controlling the atoms is already difficult enough on itself :grinning:)
Also maybe I found little bug..on HTML5 version buttons on the ending menu didn't work form me :slight_frown:
But overall this is a great game..and for only 15 hours? Super amazing game!
Thank you for sharing it with us!
It was a bit hard to keep track of the current atoms, but the tools were efficient once I got used to them. I kept clicking on the images for the tools, instead of using the number keys.
I think that the barriers lasted for a bit too short a time. The speed tools felt just right. As has been mentioned, the restart-button did not work.
The view angle made it a bit hard to keep track of the atoms, but otherwise both the art and music worked well, and enhanced the mood.
