In a nutshell, it's a unique puzzler. You have to make chemical compounds from elements by dropping them into the reactor, bonding them and such like. Some compounds need double/triple bonds and require rotating. It just gets more complicated as you go through the levels. Maybe it will only appeal to science majors but I urge everyone to give the demo (also on Steam) a whirl if you like puzzle games.
 
It makes you feel like a computer programmer or something. I just wish there was some debug tool! Things kept going wrong for me on one level and I couldn't see what I'd done wrong.
 
Hmm, I can see where you're coming from but there's more 'fun' to be had in streamlining your processes to minimise delays. I see it as an extra challenge to get everything ticking along nicely. Which level are you up to?
