The game offers amazing fun and experimentation, especially for fans of physics simulations like The Powder Toy.
It has great potential with a variety of simulations and the ability to modify particle interactions, making it engaging for hours.
The developer is active and engaged with the community, promising future updates and improvements.

The game is prone to crashes and requires a powerful GPU to run smoothly, making it unplayable for some users.
There is a significant lack of tutorials and documentation, making it difficult for new players to understand the mechanics.
The user interface is unintuitive and clunky, which detracts from the overall experience.

The graphics of the game are considered impressive in terms of rendering capabilities, with users noting the ability to handle a large number of objects. However, there are significant concerns regarding compatibility, particularly with AMD graphics cards, which are currently a low priority for updates. Many players express frustration over the lack of support for their hardware, impacting their ability to enjoy the game.
- “The fact I'm able to render 500k objects with just my graphics card is incredible.”
- “It literally even taught me how to fix my graphics card and now it works and I can play, and the actual game is amazing.”
- “I really wish I could play the game; it looks really fun. However, because I have an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and unfortunately it isn't supported, I will change this review and buy the game again if this ever gets resolved.”
- “The graphics need updates though.”
- “I really wish I could play the game; it looks really fun. However, because I have an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and unfortunately it isn't supported, I will change this review and buy the game again if this ever gets resolved. But until then, I can't recommend the game as long as I can't play it. I've tried everything under the sun to make it work and had OpenCL; however, one issue I ran into is that the integrated graphics card did spark some issues which I had no clue why because I have my 7900 set as primary.”
- “So basically, AMD is currently low priority; he wants to add all the features he believes would make the game better, and then will prioritize supporting a wider range of cards, even including integrated graphics at some point.”

The game's stability is a significant issue, with frequent crashes and freezes reported by users, often requiring a complete PC restart. While some players note that crashes can be avoided by steering clear of certain actions, the overall experience is marred by persistent bugs and loading problems, leading to frustration despite the game's enjoyable aspects.
- “Game freezes all the time and then I have to restart my PC over and over again to get it running again, and then it just repeats.”
- “Previous review: it is so buggy... it starts 1 out of 5 times... and if it does, it will crash in a few seconds.”
- “This is a fun game, but it is very buggy and sometimes doesn't load.”

The gameplay is criticized for being repetitive and lacking clarity, with players struggling to achieve desired simulations due to the complexity of mechanics. Users express frustration over the need for skilled programming to effectively realize various scientific concepts within the game.
- “You still want to know what the gameplay is like?”
- “The gameplay is often repetitive, and sometimes you can't get the simulation you want.”
- “In terms of the mechanics, I do not understand how fire particles were slowly lifting up and floating earth particles or what was going on.”
- “Whether it be physics, evolution, neurons, chemical processes, quantum mechanics, or cheese, you just need a programmer skilled enough to make it happen.”

The game's optimization has primarily concentrated on back-end performance and the stability of the physics engine, which has resulted in a high-performance simulation. However, players express a desire for further optimizations to accommodate those with weaker GPUs, indicating that there is still room for improvement in accessibility.
- “This is an incredible high-performance simulation.”
- “This game has a lot of potential. I hope more optimizations can be made in the future so people with weaker GPUs can run the game.”
- “Up until now, most of the work seems to have been focused on the back-end, like performance optimizations and stability of the physics engine.”
- “Up until now, most of the work seems to have been focused on the back-end, like performance optimizations and stability of the physics engine.”
