Evolution Stew by vede
Evolution Stew! Gather up as many items as you can and throw them into the DNA Extraction Pool.
Items that are rare or take effort to get are worth more points! After the time limit is done, you can check out the horrible freak of genetic engineering that you've created and see a simple description of some of its traits, based on the DNA you gave it (in this world, even inanimate objects like chairs and phones have DNA).
Some items are best used on other items. For a simple example, try using cat food on a kitten! There are a few more combinations and a combination will always yield more points than if you used both items separately.
I want to add a lot more items and combos (and maybe more level area) during the jam, so if you have any humorous ideas for items or combos tell me in the comments!
Made entirely in HTML5+JS. No third-party libraries.
It should definitely work in Chrome, Opera, and Firefox (perhaps with some audio issues in Firefox). It probably won't work in IE or Safari.

this has potential, your art style is lovely as well
Twisted Devolution: It is accessible, but it's not a syringe, I thought it was too.
Loved the concept, the implementation, the art style, soundtrack and mood :} great job!

Oh man, this game is hilarious. Had a couple of shots at it just to try and get some of the seemingly unreachable items. Didn't know about pre-programmed combos until I read the comments.
Good game.
