I didn't hear any music during the game itself, only the title screen (but it would have been nice to have some.) Also, I couldn't figure out how to restart the level but keep the tiles that I've placed so far.

Despite feeling like a Zachtronics game (Space Chem as you mentioned, and I'd say like The Codex too) it has a really cool play style. The fact that there's an order-of-operations type mechanic is really cool. It plays smoothly and the levels are fun. Great job!"},{"author_name":"lazybraingames","author_uid":"11617","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 5:39am","epoch":1346218440,"text":"Hmmmm, I couldn't quite wrap my mind around what to do. I tried putting arrows on the ground in a path and hit play, but I guess I was missing something.

As some ppl said, remember me to space chem, but still, 48 hours, congratulations :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The controls are easy if you played space chem, but hard to figure out all of them. The game dont explain the &quot;repeat last movement&quot; movement.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In the post-compo version you changed the fusion\/defusion turn-order, and it actually happen after each movement. I like the compo version, when you have to play with that variable too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Cant vote because didnt upload my game (didnt have time) but once again, good job :)"},{"author_name":"madflame991","author_uid":"5035","time":"Sep 2, 2012 @ 3:53pm","epoch":1346600880,"text":"+ really nice UI\r<br\/>+ I like how you divided the execution in &quot;phases&quot; - that was pretty clever. You can't have them bumping into each other AND having them move simultaneously.\r<br\/>- kinda short on levels, but that's understandable since the time was too short\r<br\/>\r<br\/>*I also made a game similar to this, but with more programming (Robot Unlock), and I released it even before Space Chem... I see everyone liked and remembers Space Chem (shameless self-advertisement)"}],"images":["ld24\/15279-98299c34b94f78a660e6d91e71d41c3e.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/gg.unitedflavour.com\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/16607557\/GeneGameSources.zip","text":"Source"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BQgVZTtOJKk","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"http:\/\/gg.unitedflavour.com\/new","text":"Post Compo version"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"29365","g_author":"15279","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"29395","g_title":"Gene Game","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"148","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/15279-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Gene Game is puzzle solving game about combining nucleotides in DNA sequences.\r\n\r\nThis is my first LD entry and I'm really glad it went better than I expected.\r\n\r\nI managed to create quite complex puzzle solving game.
