Pigatomic by sami822

"Brother, may I have some oats?" These are the words every human on Earth knows by heart. And now, prepare yourself for a brand new adventure featuring the legendary Pig Brothers!
They've shrunk themselves down to the size of atoms, embarking on a perilous quest for the rarest, most powerful substance in the universe: Oatium.
Dive headfirst into this epic, subatomic odyssey where the stakes are higher than ever, and the oats... even smaller. Join the Pig Brothers as they battle their way through a microscopic world teeming with danger—and oats. Will you survive the quest for Oatium? There's only one way to find out!
Hint: to create Oatium you need 2 electrons of each color orbiting an atom, then you can transform atom into Oatium. You can collect up to 3 electrons and shoot them into atoms to add more electrons to that atom.
Controls:

Controlled nicely, atmosphere was good and over all enjoyable, but hard to wrap my head around it at first. Well done.
I did not manage to get an oatium even though i think i got 2 of each color in one of the atoms, but regardless it was a fun experience
Keep up the psychedelic work! <3
So I made a bunch of black goo ^^
With reading a bit more here, the second time it's more clear.
The goo ate electrons!
Really do like the atmosphere and the fucking strange world building (in a good way)
The controlly were a little bit heavy when you try to collect the atoms.
But overall a really nice game with a lot of humor!
