Love the music, gameplay is pretty fun as well. Atoms go smash!

I really like the rotating of the trangle i think it adds a nice touch, I also think that the music helps relax a lot I feel like it really adds to the tone otherwise I could see it being stressful, so thanks for making this <3

I really like the way it feels to smash atoms together! Very satisfying!

Music is very relaxing (and amazing, as usual). Game is unique and fun to play. Starts to become like a precision platformer the larger your atom becomes.

Reminds me of catching fireflies with all of the little blue lights floating around.

i could see this game with controller support. i dont think the spinny technique shined enough with the wasd.

Very relaxing game and the "physics" of the particle moving and swinging around you feels really nice! Not sure if it was just me, but I felt like the game lacked either the urgency to keep collecting new atoms, or some larger goal beyond collect atoms to make me keep playing and retrying. Still loved the game!

Unique interpretation of the theme and controls. The physics are fun, but challenging, and the game has a nice, clean presentation.

Interesting game... unique idea. Very hard to keep it going but I was using keyboard...controller *may* be easier. I like the graphics, music and game play. Took me a moment to catch on but ya I'd keep playing it.
Congrats on the great game.

I love this concept. Most unique spin on the theme that I have played yet. Simple but elegant graphics and a killer sound track. This could easily be a mobile game.

I like the audio. The graphics are simple but they are clean and match the aesthetic. Points for the science theme.

I think that a controller option would be nice in this case.

Great job making a game in 72 hours!

Great music. Set some good vibes overall. Simple but challenging gameplay. Really enjoyed this entry overall! Only suggestion is to put the instructions on the LD and itch page for people like me who skipped them in game. :)

This is such a unique game. I'm always a fan of abstract art styles, and this is really simple and clean and works. It's also a lot of fun to play. The movement of the protons and neutrons are really satisfying, especially when you make them collide and combine. I was a bit confused about the 2 different stability meters at first. I think including what the one on the right was in the instructions would've helped clear things up. But this was really fun, and surprisingly relaxing (this theme seemed to bring out the more anxiety-inducing games so this was a refreshing take).

I love the, idk what you call it, magnet trailing effect the particles have when I hit them. very smooth controls and any time I died, it felt like it was on me. And I died a lot, but it was oddly relaxing, great job!

Congratulations for the very intuitive game, the balance idea helped a lot to improve the gameplay factor, I felt that it would be more fun if it was played on a mobile device, because of the touch that would make it more difficult, if you can give your feedback in my game too I will be very happy a big hug.

I really like the clean representation of the game. The movement felt good, even fun once you hook it all up. I'm impressed how quickly you put this together.

The music is great and so relaxing! Makes me think I'm taking a calm summertime stroll and not working with radioactive molecules lol. Nice entry!

as expected from sympathy the game is great! always intriguing to see mechanics i can't imagine how they were coded. but loved it the movement of particles were chaotic yet controllable and really let me as a player to stratigize freely which is to me an a plus desing! thanks for sharing.

also i wanted to go for 1000 but it started lagging at 300~ particles i think a limitation on webbuilds.

As others have said, the music is really great and the atmosphere is top-notch despite the simplicity. My only suggestion might be to change how we navigate the menus, since we don't use the mouse in normal gameplay.

I think the way menu navigation was implemented also caused a weird (harmless) bug where I could move around the sliders on the right and top of the game with my mouse after I died.
