When all of the atoms in your molecule are satisfied, the molecule becomes stable. To demonstrate this further, let's step through the building of a simple molecule.
Notice how the two atoms have bonded together. Each atom now has one bond. Since the blue atom requires only one bond, it is now satisfied. The green atom still needs two more.
When you place two atoms next to each other, they will automatically bond. Try it now.
Notice the dot pattern. The dot pattern indicates the number of bonds each atom requires. The green one needs three. Atoms require either 1, 2, 3 or 4 bonds.
This is an atom.
To move atoms from the vial, click on the playfield. The atom on the bottom will be placed where your mouse is. For now, click where indicated.
Your bonus counts down; so the faster you complete a wave, the more points you get.
You score points by completing stable molecules. A stable molecule is made up of satisfied atoms. We will cover this more in a minute.
A Schzapp will clear your vial of atoms, just in case it does overflow. This box also tells you how many molecules you have to build to complete the wave.
This is the vial. During game play, atoms will drop down into the vial one at a time, at random. It is your job to keep the vial from overflowing.
This area is the playfield. You will be building your molecules here.
Let's get started by clicking the advance button.
You will also need to click in certain places with your mouse; indicated by the symbol below.
This pop up menu will switch between chapters.
You will use buttons to navigate through each chapter.
There are 5 chapters.
This tutorial will get you started.
