The game is a great educational tool for those interested in chemistry, providing a fun way to learn about elements and reactions.
It offers a unique concept that allows players to experiment with chemical reactions, making it engaging for chemistry enthusiasts.
Many players found the game satisfying and relaxing, with a sense of discovery when creating new molecules.

The controls are clunky and unintuitive, often leading to frustration and difficulty in managing the 3D environment.
The game lacks clear instructions and guidance, making it challenging for players without a strong chemistry background to progress.
There are performance issues and bugs that detract from the overall experience, with some players feeling the game is not worth its price.

The game's story aspect is primarily conveyed through its quest mode, which focuses on synthesizing various chemical compounds. However, players find the lack of narrative depth and guidance frustrating, often feeling lost due to vague quest descriptions and a cumbersome interface. While the educational element is appreciated, many users suggest that clearer instructions and a more engaging storyline would enhance the overall experience.
- “In terms of actual gameplay, I really enjoyed the quest mode trying to make the different molecules and unlocked the periodic table.”
- “It's surprisingly fun to complete the quests and make reactions to have new elements to play with.”
- “The periodic table is mostly locked and you unlock missions and achievements by figuring out different kinds of chemical reactions.”
- “The quest mode does not actually feel like a game.”
- “Trying to get through the quest mode is really annoying because they expect you to know way more than a layman ever would.”
- “There are a couple of errors in the basic game thus far that can make it a little confusing, such as having the same reaction listed under two different sections of the in-game reaction list, the sulfuric acid molecule not having double bonds to oxygen, and some quest prompts that aren't clear about what compound it wants you to synthesize.”

The gameplay is engaging, particularly in the quest mode focused on synthesizing molecules and unlocking the periodic table, though many players find it lacking due to a limited variety of substances. While the mechanics are praised as excellent, a significant portion of players abandon the game before reaching even basic achievements.
- “In terms of actual gameplay, I really enjoyed the quest mode trying to make the different molecules and unlock 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.”
- “The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for synthesizing HClO (this does take a small amount of effort, about 5-10 minutes of gameplay), but only around 17 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game.”

The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style with low-polygon, untextured assets that evoke a poorly executed 3D aesthetic reminiscent of early 1990s games. Many players feel this approach is a cover for a lack of effort and talent, detracting from the overall experience, especially when combined with incomplete localization.
- “The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the game world to life.”
- “The art style is beautifully crafted, creating a visually immersive experience that captivates players.”
- “The environments are richly designed, showcasing a level of detail that enhances the overall gameplay 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.' This is not something gamers should have to put up with.”
- “The final straw that broke the camel's back was the crude graphics, along with not all of the text being in English.”

Users find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, with the 3D elements contributing to a cumbersome experience that detracts from overall enjoyment.
- “The 3D aspect is a waste of time, too cumbersome to qualify as anything other than tedious.”
- “Grinding feels like an endless chore rather than an engaging part of the game.”
- “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it feel more like a job than a fun gaming experience.”
optimization

Players report significant performance issues related to optimization, particularly when spawning numerous high atomic mass elements in quest mode, leading to severe lag and decreased gameplay fluidity.
- “I have also experienced severe performance issues when spawning a lot of molecules in quest mode, especially when spawning multiple higher atomic mass elements.”
- “The game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate during intense moments, making it frustrating to play.”
- “Optimization seems to be an afterthought, as loading times are excessively long and the game frequently stutters.”
stability

Users report issues with stability, highlighting a cumbersome interface and buggy quest lines that hinder progress, particularly with quests requiring features that are not yet unlocked.
- “The interface is pretty cumbersome, and the quest line is buggy. All of my next quests require CL, but it hasn't been unlocked.”
- “I frequently encounter crashes that disrupt my gameplay experience.”
- “The game is riddled with bugs that make it nearly unplayable at times.”
