About Molecule - a chemical challenge
Discover the fundamental building blocks of the universe in this challenging and educational puzzle game.
40 levels, 40 unique molecules, countless atoms, spin plates, triggers and puzzle fun of the rather challenging kind are waiting!
Put your visual-spatial skills to the test as you compete with players worldwide to build molecules from atoms using the least number of steps. Over 40 levels, 40 unique molecules, countless atoms, spin plates, triggers and fun facts about science are waiting! But beware, this puzzle game isn’t easy. You’ll need to get your brain into gear to successfully solve these levels.
Created by visual effects artist of multi-award winning film ‘Gravity’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’, Molecule’s game design is unexpectedly simple. With retro-inspired graphics and demanding riddles, this game will transport you back to the ‘golden age of video games’.
“Games should be hard. The whole grown up life thing is. Why should a game be different? Something fun isn’t fun because it’s easy, but because it offers a sense of reward for an attainable achievement. We don’t look back to the beginning of computer games because we could finish them all in one sitting. We get captivated by nostalgia about spending, days, nights, weeks stuck on the same boss, with friends, in the dark. An easy win is not an adventure, and adventures is what we want to remember.”

A simple puzzle game about molecules. I like it5 found this helpful
This game is more or less a clone of the ancient puzzle game Atomix. Not the puzzles themselves, just the mechanics. The puzzles, at least at the beginning, are easier than in the original game. While the original had a time limit for each level, this version counts moves instead, that is a welcome change and more fitting for a puzzle game. This game is a blurry eyesore when you start it. This is due to the game rendering in 720p and then upscaling. There are no resolution options in the game itself and the configuration dialog at startup is hidden. It is a Unity engine game, so you can force that dialog by holding shift when launching, there you can fix the resolution. The game looks much sharper after that, rendering in the native resolution should have been the default. The only music in the game is the one track that plays in the trailer, it doesn't fit the game and is looping constantly. The game has clearly been made for mobile devices, the port to PC seems to have been done without putting actual effort in. The UI is made for touch controls, at least controlling with the mouse is functional. The most annoying part so far is that the achievements for each level are for matc…3 found this helpful
Well... at least, all that time wasted on the qop game series won't be in vain : It helped a lot with these puzzles physics, actually.2 found this helpful
A lazy wprk by the devs.In theory these games could be fun and challenging but this one is neither.Fun for the first hour and then gets repetitive and boring. There are not many options, in fact you can only turn music and sound on/off.Boring and not worth your time.
