Deconstructorium by GreyShock
You are an evil scientist seeking for the world's destruction. If you get stuck you can go outside the lab to breath some fresh air and get some ideas.
The scientist can travel inside common objects molecules and extract special atoms. Combine them inside de Deconstructorium (the room to the right) in order to obtain new powers.
This is meant to be a mixed platform/puzzle game, so be patient and write down the formulas you discover for making it easier. I hope you enjoy!

Update May 2nd : I'm considering to develop a proper and more complete version of Deconstructorium. If you are interested you can follow our team development journal at http://www.deconstructeam.com/
The blog is only avalaible in spanish, but is going to get an english version soon. Sorry :P

It lacks sound but the rest is really nice. Going to fresh air to read some humoristic and some helpful phrases is a great idea. I could advance this list a lot but people should play your game to find the other great stuff out ; )
Really polished game with some good ideas.
The end was a little weird, but it was interesting figuring out the combinations.
That being said I really liked the art style for it and the concept seemed really well thought out. It's probably one of the more original games I've seen on LD this round.
Control is a little fiddly when you get the higher speeds.
I like the idea of getting some fresh air when you are stuck, that's really cool.
The theme connection is really good and it's quite innovative.
The adamantium thing seems to stuck most players. It's not a bug, it's a part of the puzzle.
I don't want to spoil the solution... but the scientist might have something interesting to say about the adamantium issue at the garden :)
Wasn't initially aware that I could venture right to combine materials. After I found that out the game made a whole lot more sense and I found it pretty enjoyable to the point where I had to play right to the end. I think the speed of the scientist in the lab itself could have been increased as I found it frustrating to have to walk across the room. Also I would suggest adding a list of combinations you have already discovered to the game. Overall though, good work!
Just I dont know what do after get all the coffe :S hehe
Good job with the ImpacJS ;)
Keep it up!
I know the bug with adamantium :( but I debugged the game a few hours before concluding the compo and.. well, you know :P
You also need to be BIG (Small = no) to have enough strenght for trespassing the purple matter.. and that's not a bug, just part of the puzzle.
Thanks again and sorry for the bugs!
Good job, I enjoyed every game concepts: platforms, combination , including the "farming" of items and the stroke rpg character's attributes. Good Luck!
Overall, it's a great effort though, and I thought the way you make progress in the game was very clever.
I had an issue jumping reliably though. I don't know if it was key combinations, or maybe you're not allowed to jump on a slope, or what. But I died a lot and cursed a lot because I hit the key to jump and didn't jump.
But yeah, this is an awesome idea. I will be back. If you have a website where you intend to post updates, you should edit your entry to add links. It's allowed -- just be sure you indicate that it's a post-competition version!
Some things though:
- We you are small, there is one adamantium level where you can't jump, but you can walk vertically.
- the player is sloooooooooooow in the lab room.
- the level randomization is not good. I played 3 times in a row the same level. It would be nice to avoid this in other to keep the player entertained.
- Maybe the great scientist could have a notebook with the list of recipes he found ? and of the reactions he already made ? I was small, then big, and had to get some catonium and forgot how to get small again, and didnt feel like starting again to look through all the reactions, and quit.
I'd love to see a more polished version (maybe with more levels ?)
Congratulations anyway !
