I had an idea for an educational puzzle game about the small scale interactions and structures involved with baking bread. I though that the prototype I had for the initial, mixing stage, before the gluten strands develop, was entertaining enough to be made into a minigame. I like how it starts as a game about fast mixing, then turns into a puzzle to get the last pieces.

I enjoyed it to the extent possible
I didn't finish though, because by the time you have about 8 flour left, it gets a little dull. I didn't see the educational aspect either, but I guess that's because you had to strip the concept down a lot from what you wanted to start with.
It was nicely executed, and had the right feel.

Good work :D

Yeah, I had a lot of ideas for themes for this competition, but had trouble coming up with mechanics that would work. So when time was running out I thought I should just go with polishing what I had, and at least learn something about Flash.

Nice little puzzle game!  I think it suffers a bit from being too long; as others have said, once you near the end, it gets a little boring.  Just as a suggestion, the playing field could probably be smaller (maybe originally 8 x 6 or something), and the square tool used to switch stuff around could also be smaller (maybe 3 x 3 or 2 x 2).  Then the game could be more strategic decisions, and less about randomly moving stuff around until it works.  Maybe, as opposed to a timer, you could have a limited number of moves to complete the puzzle.

In general, however, the game was clean, not overly complex, and definitely stimulated thought.

I thought only allowing water and flower to mix if the water is on top of the flour was a bit counter-intuitive. It might help speed it up a bit towards the end as well if contact is the only requirement.

At first, I thought I had a move limit to worry about before I realized it was just the number of flour tiles left. Maybe that would be an idea, though? It would mean you'd have to stop and think for a bit instead of just clicking randomly. It could also mean less of a pace change at the end if the overall pace is a bit slower.

Otherwise, I thought it was surprisingly fun for a game about mixing dough. I also like the simple graphics, especially the crazy water.

Just had a look at this now.  It worked pretty well/drat i can't remember my time.  AH WELL.

There is a lot of potential in this.  Sadly, I can't place my finger on what's missing.

It was plenty of fun while it lasted though.
