From atom to modern

"From Atom to Modern" also a small "clicker game", like all the others. FATM currently only offers English or Chinese, so if you don't know either of the two languages, it's better to leave it alone. But interesting and informative, concerning elements chemistry and building blocks of life. Who doesn't know Data's Lifeform's song: ""I'd be happy to, sir. I just *love* scanning for life forms! SINGS Life forms! You pretty little life forms! You precious little life forms! Where are you?"" You can't expect much graphically and the sound is anything but outstanding, but the gameplay is clean and very systematic. And makes FUN. We start with the basic materials of Life: The atoms and work our way to the molecules to the first phases of our earth and then stumble into the phases of humans from Stone to Ancient to Modern Civilizations. What I find great is the Fact, that as soon as you click on an element or molecule, you find info's like: - description - Effect - State - Proton Number - Melting Point - Boiling Point - Density - Relative Atomic Mass - Conductivity With the last Updates came two good new Features in the game: - you automatically generate now,when you have…

Underdeveloped and grindy

This game failed to keep me engaged. The progression is painfully slow, and upgrades don’t feel impactful or satisfying. It lacks the rewarding loop that makes other idle games enjoyable, making it feel more like a chore than entertainment.

I tried to like this but it's just a bland and boring slog. Number go up, but way too slowly. Upgrades feel pointless and useless, and generally speaking the whole thing feels like a practice in time wasting, unlike some other idles games i've played.

Just before you hit the 2 hour mark the game slows to a very slow crawl. Got bored, and refunded it. Looks like it would take another 40+ hours to complete. And it also looks like you need to let it run over night for it to collect energy. Game goes thru the periodic table. You select the first mineral, click start, make 1, wait to get 5, sell those then to the next one and so on. You can upgrade for less time but the cost scales too much for what you get. You have a overall level that you upgrade (-1 second per level) and minerals have their own levels (-2 seconds). However farther down you go the cost just scales too much. So you will get to level 4 before the cost becomes ridiculous. You have tech that also scales. One gives you more and one speed you making minerals. Frankly I really didn't notice much from the speed up one. I got to +39 per making one and then the cost factor went thru the roof, it was steady until then. Got to 16 speed, did I notice difference, not a whole lot. Once I hit the 50 second minerals (that's 50 seconds to make one plus your tech level) I gave up. Many things were still locked, but at this point I just didn't care. Game lost my interest.
