story5 positive mentions
graphics3 negative mentions
  • Highly educational and useful for those studying or interested in chemistry, providing a deep and interactive experience with molecules, reactions, and the periodic table.
  • Offers a unique and satisfying sense of discovery when synthesizing new compounds, making it engaging for chemistry enthusiasts and students with some background knowledge.
  • Visual and interactive 3D representations of atoms, molecules, and bonding help with understanding chemical structures and concepts.
  • Clunky and unintuitive controls, especially 3D camera movement, which can lead to frustration and disorientation during gameplay.
  • Lacks comprehensive tutorials or helpful guidance, making it difficult for beginners or casual players to progress without external resources.
  • Limited content and missing common reactions or molecules, along with a confusing or incomplete quest system that sometimes impedes learning or enjoyment.
  • story
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect, primarily conveyed through quest mode, is criticized for lacking clear plot and relying on vague or minimal hints that often leave players stuck or guessing. While quest challenges can be engaging and educational, the experience is hampered by an inflexible, "my way or highway" design, inconsistent reaction availability, and a cumbersome interface that frustrates progression. Players suggest adding more detailed guidance, better quest structuring, and clearer explanations to improve the overall narrative and learning experience.

    • “In terms of actual gameplay, I really enjoyed the quest mode trying to make the different molecules and unlocked the periodic table.”
    • “I've already completed a lot of the quests already so I'm not going to give up on the game, and I have learned a lot already that I didn't know.”
    • “It's surprisingly fun to complete the quests and make reactions to have new elements to play with.”
    • “It only took ten or so quests for the description to become 'synthesize this chemical' without any other hints.”
    • “Trying to get through the quest mode is really annoying because they expect you to know way more than a layman ever would.”
    • “- Seems like in quest mode not all possible reactions (even very simple ones that you can find in Wikipedia) are available because perhaps they aren't 'discovered' yet; so it's like devs designed quests in a 'my way or highway' manner.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features enjoyable mechanics, especially in the quest mode involving molecule synthesis, but is hindered by poor movement controls and limited content. While some players find the mechanics engaging, a significant portion lose interest early due to the lack of substance variety and overall excitement.

    • “In terms of actual gameplay, I really enjoyed the quest mode trying to make the different molecules and unlocked the periodic table.”
    • “Awesome game mechanics.”
    • “All the mechanics are really good; however, the main problem is that the game doesn't have many substances.”
    • “This game also has some really bad movement mechanics.”
    • “The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for synthesising HClO (this takes about 5-10 minutes of gameplay), but only around 17 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are criticized for being overly minimalist and outdated, resembling low-polygon visuals from early 1990s games with little to no textures. This style is seen as an excuse for lack of effort or skill rather than intentional artistic design, resulting in a crude and unappealing visual experience.

    • “The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose,' which really isn't something gamers should have to tolerate.”
    • “Final straw that broke the camel's back was crude graphics, and not all of the text being in English.”
    • “While this game is 'scientifically correct' in its approach, it isn’t really much of a game and feels more like an instructional course with visuals.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is widely viewed as tedious and cumbersome, making it feel more like a waste of time than an engaging activity.

  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant performance issues during quest mode, particularly when spawning multiple high atomic mass molecules, indicating poor optimization for handling large or complex entities.

    • “I have also experienced severe performance issues when spawning a lot of molecules in the quest mode, especially when spawning multiples of those higher atomic mass elements.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game exhibits stability issues, including a buggy quest line that hinders progression due to locked content. Additionally, the interface is cumbersome, contributing to a frustrating user experience.

  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users view the monetization as overly aggressive and exploitative, describing it as a blatant cash grab.

  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is noted for being quite relaxing, contributing to a calm and soothing atmosphere.

    • “The music is quite relaxing as well.”
