Theme re-planning

Was kinda banking on the "Everything Goes to Hell" theme, for a 3D helicopter rescue type game.  But given the "Mad Science" theme I think that would be quite a lame stretch to try to make.

So new idea is a 2D puzzle game with a molecule-matching gameplay mechanic: various molecules are piece types that can be moved around the level (basically a backgrounded/themed 2D board) according to certain movement constraints (either intrinsic to that molecule type, or externally dependent on level geometry and/or other nearby molecules.)  The objective of each level is to clear all molecules from the board within a limited time or number of moves.

The plot is that you are thwarting a mad scientist's evil plans at the chemical reaction level.  Example levels: stopping a nuclear fission reaction in a bomb or sabotaged reactor from going critical, neutralizing a poison/toxin, matter vs antimatter in a particle accelerator, etc

Lame stretches are what makes this PyWeek! :-)
