A Rotten Love Story
A heartbreaking story of two sulfur ions in the Sulfur Cycle
Developers: Sruti Gorantla, Shri Karri (Anderson-7)
Preview
NOTE: THE MODEL IS A SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE SULFUR CYCLE. INTERMEDIATE STAGES ARE NOT SHOWN. THE MAJOR TRANSFERS/TRANSFORMATIONS HOWEVER ARE EMPHASIZED. THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP OF MORE SULFUR IONS GETTING PUMPED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE WAS HARD TO SHOW AS IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SHOW THE SULFUR IONS INCREASING EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU LOST IN THE FACTORY STAGE USING SCRATCH. ALSO THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP OF THE DMS FORM OF SULFUR INCREASING THE OCEAN TEMPERATURE AND THEN DECREASING THE TEMPERATURE BY REFLECTING OFF THE SUN'S LIGHT WAS HARD TO SHOWCASE USING SCRATCH IN THIS GAME; AS A RESULT, IT IS ONLY TOUCHED UPON USING SOLOMAN'S TEXT.

Troubleshooting/FAQs
-If you are in the atmosphere level and there are no more raindrops, you have probably did not touch the raindrops in time. Remember the raindrops only come once.
-If you lost in the factory level, you are taken back to the atmosphere level with the other sulfur ions intentionally following you. This is not a glitch in the game but is meant to represent positive feedback of humans releasing sulfur into the atmosphere through manufacturing processes.
-Again if the sulfur ions touch you, you are intentionally redirected back to the atmosphere level to represent how the villain has released you into the atmosphere. It is not a glitch.
-If the raindrops touch you when you are in the rocks level, you are intentionally redirected back to the ocean level to represent how the rainwater has run off into the ocean with you. It is not a glitch.
-If you run into anymore problems, simply stop the game and restart it by clicking the green flag.
-If more problems persist, make sure to contact the creators of the game.
