AmberShards has it down quite right.
It definitely IS speed IF but the science concept is very nice und you should definitely try out everything that is possible to enjoy the different results and endings. The only real puzzle is (Spoiler - click to show)to find out how your "gun" is working, after that it is simply trying out stuff and having fun for an hour or so.
I would really like to see a full fledged game using this concept and, especially, the kind of language and humour, which is right in my ballpark.
