I feel so stupid lol... I assumed the rotate things would rotate the manipulator and when it didn't I started thinking the game was pretty stupid. After finishing the first level with almost 50 symbols I found out I could use left and right and finish in 4(Not sure how to do 3). Anyways, it seems good so far although a little slow.

Tried this on Firefox/Linux and it worked great.
On my Windows box, space cannot be used so, sorry, you dropped from 4 to 2.
Please update the game with usable controls.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Concept is good, but the controls are absolutely terrible. You NEVER use ctrl and shift, espically when most computers already have these programmed to do window related things.

My god this is cool. Except for the retarded "You passed the level! Hit continue and then quit back to the main menu so I can scare you about quitting and how you will lose your progress." Just have a Next Level button.

mightybaldking, if you want to prevent a manipulator from interfering just move it out of the way to the edge of the screen and/or add the commands 'repeat' and 'stop' at the end.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I'd like to see a programming icon that would allow me to disable a manipulator for testing purposes. Perhaps a stop sign that could be dropped in at the start of the program.
This is a really interesting game.

Well, I wrote a guide for this on the forums. In the second half of the guide are the optimal solutions for every level. Should be more useful than the youtube video (which is included int he guide too anyway):

As I said before I don't like the "Quit" to continue thing. I'm also not a fan of serializing so the kiddies can pass around solutions.
Additionally the color\symbol on the atoms are too small and nowhere near distinct enough.
These are nits though and otherwise a very thoughtful and great game.

When good ideas go bad:
14: Philosopher Stone - S:409 C:135
I got an idea in my head and wouldn't let it go. The resulting abomination necessary to get the final product turned in is nothing short of absurd. There is no unnecessary movement, all 409 symbols were required to get this to work. Also note, the already bound atoms randomly collide for some reason. It took me several times running this to make all 5 drop off without error. The formula works, it's just a bug in the game. Obviously this had to run on a full 18 cycle rotation. The next comment will contain the formula (it's too long for this comment!)

It seems like symmetry is too easy for this formula, so I aimed for something a little more chaotic. I set it to a 6/12 cycle timer.
