HIGGS - Sub atomic alchemy

See scirra.com/arcade/puzzle/2404/higgs

Version 0.2 up but still waiting for approval. Version echoed on opening screen.

Feedback welcome. Enjoy :)

I love the concept of this game, but It ran really really slow on my pc in FF. I could not get it to load at all in chrome. Could be issues on my end. I want to play it! Waaaahhh <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> (I love this type of game).

I'm sorry its not working for you. I'm not using anything more than the standard plugins you get with construct2. I've even dropped using webgl for anything other than the acceleration it gives. I think I need to introduce some options that allow sprite counts etc to be turned down.

I generally use chrome to dev/test. My PC is a fast one though. I've also tested on a nexus 7 in chrome. Runs at a reasonable pace. I'm hopeful that cocoon will help speed further.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Yay. Version 0.3 is now up for you to play. Lot's of fixes and improvements in this one.

Really cool game, especially the theme and graphics. I like how you used the periodic table for the level count XD. I'm running the game in the latest version of Chrome (24) and haven't come across any problems.

Good luck finishing development on the game!

OK. Version 0.31 uploaded. Most of the changes in this version are hidden (although some bug fixes have been made to some visuals). Summary of changes:

• No longer uses AJAX (XML) in anticipation of export to cocoonjs etc. Thank goodness for the tokenat() function!!!
• Level selector bug on Nitrogen fixed.
• Trick shot functionality extended (a trick shot is where you knock a proton in to a worm hole indirectly - i.e. Bounce off a side before knocking proton in.
• Trick shot play where you pot 2 balls 10% of remaining will jump you to next level.
• You can happily exit and restart where you left off (uses local storage).

Very nice! I tried to create a system like you did, but for a parachute and didn't it well.

Keep the good work!

Keep the good work!

Will do <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

A lot of element sheets/levels still to create though. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Another update. Version 0.33 uploaded. This version includes a new particle, the Quantum Bubble. These fun things have a gravitational game play mechanic. So how do you get to see one of these things (or several of them for that matter)? Simple, Calcium is the first level to use them! (That's level 20). Enjoy!
