"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" – Albert Einstein

Dear new coworker!

Today is the first step in building a better life and a better universe! Because here at X we are building space - literally!

Including all of the other benefits our company offers new collegues, you will work at the end of space to push humanity (and our profits) even further!

Please dont listen to all the negative feedback of disgrunteld ex-coworkers: Nothing will push back in space. There is nothing. Probably.

Now be a good little drone and get to work.

Controls

  • Click with your mouse to rotate 3 tiles in an Eqilibrium
  • Gain Tiles by putting the same Element next to them
  • Prevent Losing tiles by swapping the element out of the tile

Summary

Your goal is to build the universe into the nothingness The Problem is, the nothingness does not like that.

An interesting puzzle! I was kinda bad at it to be honest haha

After figuring out how to play properly, the game was fairly easy, since you can rotate around tiles that are about to be "eaten" to stop them from vanishing. In the first level, it's possible to run into a dead end if one or two tles of a kind are getting eaten, if you need 2 or 3 of this kind to unlock a specific new tile. Overall a great idea and execution!

Very cool game (and also really hard, especially with the time pressure of god eating your tiles). Really innovative and fun concept.

The puzzle system is interesting and fun once you figure out how to properly play.
The cozy atmosphere is nice.
Sometimes I didn't get how many element I had to link to unlock the next file which was a bit frustrating. Also I think I was stuck on the 2nd level because some tiles vanished.
Still had some fun, good job :)

Interesting puzzle game! I feel like I was starting to wrap my head around the process of getting elements from one end of the board to the other, and then the god mechanic showed up. With the added time pressure, I started giving up on learning the system, and started mashing the rotate buttons as fast as possible instead of thinking too hard about it.

Nice puzzle game overall. Not sure if the god mechanic is working as intended, since maybe the game would function better without that time restriction always fighting back against you, when you take into account that the loss of your pieces can just be reset by quickly rotating the affected piece 3 times, resetting the god advancement, and keeping the board in the same state.

Sadly i couldnt figure out how it worked:( I put the same elements next to the new tiles, but nothing happened? And I did not really get a hold on how the rotating thing moved. But i really enjoyed the vibe and music! And angering god is always fun ;)

@dingdingding You need to make sure that every neighboring field is of the same type.

I tried to understand the game but was not able to even after reading the instructions and following the tutorial, the level of polish with the graphics and audio are great.

Nice relaxing atmosphere and puzzle. I couldn't really figure out the logic behind where the rotator appeared and why which I feel got in the way of enjoying the full experience, but ultimately there's some potential here!

I really enjoyed the game; it's quite simple but has its unique twist. The gameplay is quite original, in my opinion. Keep it up. I won't mention all the shortcomings and bugs in the game as they have been described above
