Compound Combo

Basic info:

• Your goal is to fill up the green bar at the bottom of the screen, which means you need to get 10 000 field value (you start with 100);
• You can drag and combine atoms to form compounds;
• Put compounds in the furnace at the top of the screen - the red button recycles the compound and the green button activates it;
• Recycling adds the compounds base value back to the field;
• Activating compounds activates the effect of each atom;
• Atom effects strength is based on the compound's value and boost multiplier;
• The red bar is temperature - 150 heat (75%) will start depleting the filed value;
• Atoms and compounds spawn over time based on field value and how many atoms are on the screen, if the field value and temperature is not 0;
• Compounds that glow dark, can't be moved - to make them usable, you need to wait or hit them with heat (Pyro);
• You lose when you don't have atoms on your screen and you run out of temp or field value;

Originally this game was planned o be an ODJ - a One Day Jam where I make a game in 8h over the course of a day. But I couldn't think of any fun simple ideas that I could 100% complete in this time frame, so I thought of this.

I underestimated how hard it would be to make molecules and I compromised with what you can see now. This still took me +5h with no clear end in sight.

Known issues include unfinished art, bad resolution for atoms, random errors that may or may not cause the game to crash and the progression is unbalanced and not polished after 250 filed value. (plane to fix after game jam in my free time)
