Made for GMTK Game Jam 2024 with the theme "Built to Scale".  To fit the theme, we took the word scale literally, so you must mix chemicals on a scale to produce prescription drugs. Created by Bobby Villeneuve, Joshua Balzer, Tyrone Unruh, Jacob Bernath and Jeni Cardinal.

This seems awesome. It might be that the web version (or me) sucks, but no matter what I do, it's always wrong. I'd love to see a tutorial.

Ah, sorry to head about the difficulties. We never had time to make a tutorial, so it can be really tricky to figure out how to even play. I know you probably don't care too much about a random game jam game, but I'll write how to play in case others stumble upon this game at some point.  

On  the right side of the screen it tells you what drug to make and how much of it. You are scored two different ways: How close the quantity is to the requested amount, and how close the mixture is.

The quantity is easy to get right: Just make sure the weight on the scale matches the requested amount +/- 50g and you will get a pass. The closer, the higher the score.

The ratio is the tricky part. The game is mostly about estimation. The recipe asks for the recipe in "parts",  aka a ratio. 7 parts x and 3 parts y can be displayed different ways. 70% x, 30% y, or 7/10x, 3/10y. The difficulty is converting the ratio to a percent of a requested quantity. 

For margin of error on the ratio can be +/-10% and still be accepted. Once again, the closer to perfect, the higher the score.

The computer should display what was wrong with the last submitted drug.

Anyways, thanks for checking out our game! :D

Thank you very much for your reply, I came back and a ton of fun. Thanks!
