I’ve beaten it 3 times so far and it’s a great way to kill some time. Just a few notes- there seems to be a bug in the latest update where creating certain compounds (usually more complex organic molecules) where the screen goes completely white. Also, a search feature would be very nice for navigating the encyclopaedia easier. Other than that, awesome game **Developer response:** Sorry for the delayed response. We identified an issue where large vector images of structural formulas were not displayed properly on certain devices, and this has been fixed in the latest update. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback! ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu et excellent moyen de se familiariser avec la chimie *2026-05-22* En plus du gameplay façon 2048 amélioré, les atomes et molécules sont décrits en détails, ce qui en fait un super moyen d’apprendre les molécules les plus courantes ainsi que les réactions qui les fabrique. Très satisfait ### 5/5 — Great game for the scientific minded *2026-05-17* I am no chemist but I really enjoyed this game. Worth the money, no ads. Kind of like 2048 but truly has its own unique mechanics and it is obvious the developer has talent. I just recently completed all stages. For anyone who is struggling and looking for help, try doing N2O4+ N2H2, and also C6H6 + H2O + H2O2 for relatively easy massive points. I am not sure exactly how the scoring system works, but it seems like its exponential relative to how many atoms are in the molecule. Hydrocarbons chains generate a lot of points but can be difficult to reliably generate. I would really like if the game did a better job at explaining/demonstrating the reactions like hydrolysis. Each element/compound has its own encyclopedia page which is cool, but more work should be done to explain the game mechanics, or at least more to read about different chemical reactions. Overall great game, recommend. ### 5/5 — 재밌음 *2026-05-16* 게임 안하던 사람인데 우연히 광고였나? 보고 구매해버림 역시 예상대로 재밌음. 방금 염소의 벽을 못넘고 다시 1단계로 돌아왔음 각 분자에 대해 설명이 아주 자세히 잘 되어있는데 게임하느라 잘 안보긴함 하다보면 보는 날이 있을지도 튜토리얼도 하나 없고 걍 맨땅에 하고 있는데 하다보면 요령이 더 생길듯도.. 뭔가 정보가 있을까해서 리뷰보러왔다가 리뷰쓰고감 ### 5/5 — 재미는 있는데 난이도 조절이 필요할것같음 *2026-05-08* 나트륨까지 봤습니다 조합하기전 생각을 하고 조합해야 나중에 막히지않고 밀수있어 조금 머리가 아픔 일부 반응들은 기체와 액체의 반응이 이루어져야하는데 하나는 뜨고 하나는 가라앉아 이를 반응시킬 방법을 모르겠음. 튜토리얼처럼 각 반응을 어떻게 이용해야할지 최소한의 가이드가 있었으면 함 ### 5/5 — 2048게임에 화학을 곁들인 *2026-05-01* 2048 게임처럼 원소를 합쳐서 분자를 만드는 퍼즐 게임인데, 내가 합성한 분자가 발견된 역사와 실생활에서 어떻게 쓰이는지 상세하게 배울 수 있어 그 재미가 쏠쏠합니다. 화학이 낯설지만 흥미를 느끼는 분들께 추천합니다! + 1번이라도 합성한 적 있는 분자들을 도감처럼 살펴볼 수 있는 요소가 추가되면 더 좋을 것 같아요! **Developer response:** 소중한 피드백 감사합니다. 우측 상단의 점수를 누르시면 통계가 나오는데 거기서 하단의 "전체기록"을 선택하시면 생성했던 분자들을 보실 수 있습니다. 꾸준한 업데이트를 통해 호응에 보답하겠습니다. ### 4/5 — 教育的かつ楽しい *2026-04-29* パズル自体が苦手で未だに40ステージ目までしか行けてませんが、とてもハマってます。 元素、分子の説明がしっかりとしていて、教育的だと思います。嫌いだった化学にも興味が湧きました。 ただ、複雑な分子を作るのがかなり大変ですね。まぁそこをどうにかするのがパズルゲームの醍醐味なのでしょうが。 個人的にはサンドボックス？的なモードがあれば作りたい分子を作れてC8H11NO2が出るのですが。 なんにせよ、ゲーム自体は本当に時間を忘れて楽しめます。 ### 5/5 — Extraordinary and Underrated *2026-04-24* This game is a blast, I had to go out of my way to review it. ### 5/5 — Cool but *2026-04-14* I would appreciate more explanation of how it works! I feel like I’m exactly the demo they want playing the game but it isn’t super clear to me what the mechanics are, or what my goal is as a player ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-04-05* Best game to reignite the interest in chemistry! ### 5/5 — Wow just wow okay :3 *2026-03-31* I absolutly love this Game Trust me the 8 Bucks are sooooo worth it you play and learn about all the thing chemistry has to offer just have fun play a bit and learn also also I really enjoy that the whole thing is also playable offline so go ahead and have fun -Towel :3 ### 4/5 — ハマりすぎる *2026-03-30* 少し難易度が高いがやりごたえがあって面白い。 不満点としては合成するときに何と何を組み合わせると何ができるのかが分かりにくい。示性式(例えばCH3CONH2)だけだと原子ごとの数が分かりにくいので化合物の説明ページに化学式(C2H5NO)を載せておいてもらえるとストレスが減ると思う。 **Developer response:** 大変貴重なご意見をいただき、誠にありがとうございます。今後のアップデートでの導入を前向きに検討させていただきます。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 환불 *2026-01-28* 환불 가능할까요? 재미 없네요 배울 수 있는 것도 별로 없고, 일차원적이라 흥미가 안 갑니다. ### 1/5 — this app is too difficult *2026-01-18* this app idea is cool but: the game is not explained the task is too complicated the whole thing is sooo sad. such a great idea but the developers ruined it by making the whole game too complicated and confusing, I wish they could make a better version ### 2/5 — 어렵다... *2026-05-28* 이걸로 화학반응을 배우며 하기엔 순식간에 지나가 버리고 모르고 하기엔 너무 대책없다. ### 2/5 — Leider keine Anleitung *2025-12-30* Das ist ja ganz nett gemacht und die Informationen zu Elementen und Verbindungen sind sehr gut gemacht. Ich habe im Internet nach einer Beschreibung gesucht, aber nicht gefunden. In der App selbst finde ich auch nix. So bleibt es ein lustiges hin- und herschieben, man bekommt irgendwelche Punkte. Aber ein wirklich Strategie lässt sich da nicht ableiten. Bei den Kosten für die App , sollte eine Einleitung und Anleitung schon drinne sein. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das detaillierte Feedback. Ich gebe zu, dass die Anleitung zum Spielen des Spiels unzureichend ist, und werde dies durch ein Update verbessern. ### 2/5 — No dark mode *2025-11-12* If there’s a way to turn on dark mode, I’m too dumb to find it. Inexcusable in 2025. **Developer response:** The user experience, including Dark Mode, has been improved through the recent update. Thank you for your feedback. ### 3/5 — 게임 리셋 *2026-07-01* 36레벨 클리어 했는데 아무 이유 없이 갑자기 1렙으로 리셋되었어요 몇주정도 키운건데 당황스럽네요.. ㅠ **Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 현재 알키오네의 최종 스테이지가 36(크립톤)입니다. 시스템오류나 리셋이 아니라 모든 스테이지를 다 클리어해서 엔딩이 나오고 처음으로 돌아간 것입니다. 끝까지 가기가 매우 어려운데 전부 클리어하셨다니 정말 대단하시네요! 본의 아니게 혼선을 드려 죄송하며, 향후 좋은 업데이트로 보답하겠습니다. ### 3/5 — 가이드가 필요 *2026-05-25* 게임 튜토리얼이 없어서 하는 방법을 모르겠습니다. ### 3/5 — More options! *2026-01-24* For how expensive the game is I was really hoping you could go about it and select from the levels you have already done. I love the little summaries of all the compounds but definitely would like to see some kind of selection screen. Or even maybe a custom run? Or maybe Organic versus inorganic? Or Molecular versus Ionic???? ### 3/5 — More options! *2026-01-16* For how expensive the game is I was really hoping you could go about it and select from the levels you have already done.

Or even maybe a custom run? ### 3/5 — 스테이지 저장은 안되나요? *2026-01-09* 실패하면 무조건 스테이지 1에서 시작해야하는게 별로예요 **Developer response:** 소중한 피드백 감사합니다. 1.3.6 업데이트를 통해 크레딧이 충분하면 실패한 스테이지를 다시 복원해서 진행하실 수 있습니다. 앞으로도 지속적으로 개선해나가겠습니다. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Acetoacetic Acid? *2026-08-26* I adore this game and all its contents. It’s great for memorizing molecules and derivatives of compounds, but is there a way to make Acetoacetic Acid without it creating its isomer, Acetic Anhydride? **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback. Because the game system determines molecules based on element counts, it is difficult to represent different isomers. Although both compounds you mentioned are included in the database, only one actually gets generated in practice—an edge case I hadn't caught. ### 5/5 — Thanks for making such a great chemistry game. *2026-08-21* I want to start off by saying that this game became a huge time waster for me. I'm so entranced because of how every molecule reacts with one another. The hydrolysis reactions with lithium hydroxide and lithium nitrate are super cool, not to mention all of the different molecules and elements. Thank you for making such a great game and I am so proud that you released another update after almost 4 months. Thank you for such a great game ### 5/5 — 재밌어요!! *2026-08-16* 근데 끝까지 다 깨도 별로 뭐가 없어서ㅜㅜ 끝까지 다 깨면 뭐 문구라도 나오는 창을 띄워주거나 아니면 화학 분자 도감(합성하면 도감 채워짐) 같은걸로 과거의 기록을 계속 이어갈 수 있었으면 좋겠어요ㅜ.ㅜ ### 5/5 — 学べるし、何より楽しい *2026-08-09* 完成度が高く、色んな化合物が出てきて教育的です。パズルも楽しいので、時間を忘れてできます。また、カレンダー仕様も素晴らしいです。さらにこのゲーム独特の温度変化という機能も大変面白く、そして、レベルなど進行状況によってアンロックされる反応（縮合反応など）の機能も大変面白いです。 ただ、「ホーム画面」的な物を用意して、レベルを選択出来るようにすれば良くなると思ったのと、化合物の図鑑的な物があれば、過去に作った化合物が作りやすくなったりするかも、というのが僕の感想です。（投稿した時点では） その点も考えた上で、現存では☆5というところです。 **Developer response:** 貴重なフィードバックをいただき、誠にありがとうございます。これまでに生成した化合物は、画面右上のスコア表示エリアをタップするか、v1.5.0以降に追加された画面下部の「統計」ボタンから開いてご確認いただけます。また、ホーム画面に関するご意見につきましても、今後のゲームモード拡張の際に前向きに検討させていただきます。 ### 5/5 — Beat the game two times. Always make Asparagine or Glutamine. If you want to win. *2026-08-07* I really like how each element and compound has an explanation of what it does and what it spouse todo. I do hope more stages will be added in the future, as I would like to see all the elements. ### 5/5 — 재밌어요!! *2026-07-14* 퍼즐게임을 무척 좋아하지만 이제 어지간한건 다 해서 질렸던 상태였는데요. 우연히 접해서 세달정도 매일 하는데도 여전히 재밌어요! 화학은 잘 몰랐는데 하는동안 자연스럽게 어떤 원소가 있고 어떤 분자 합성을 할수 있는지 배우게 되네요. 딱 하나 아쉬운 점이 있다면 업그레이드를 할 때 선택을 취소할 수 있는 기능이 있으면 좋겠어요! 가끔 잘못 누를때가 있어서요 ㅠ 나머지는 다 너무 좋아요~~^^ ### 5/5 — 환불요청 *2026-06-24* 제가 생각했던 게임방법이 아니여서 플레이 5분정도 했는데 환불 가능한가요? 저는 분자구조를 자유롭게 직접 배열하는줄 알았는데 퍼즐형식이여서 생각했던거 와 다르네요 ### 5/5 — super super fun game !! *2026-06-02* been playing around with this game for a while now and its been so fun! it reminds me a bit of 2048 but there's much greater complexity and the temperature also influences your strategy. i accidentally beat the game today while trying to make the biggest organic molecule possible, and it was really fun getting there! i only wish there were more stages to play game aside, the ui itself is very clean and the game works perfectly. i do wish more credits were given when finishing a stage so that it would be possible to spend more on reactions, but it's already pretty complex and fun as-is im an undergraduate chemistry-adjacent (materials science) student and its pretty awesome to see compounds ive worked with before popping up here ### 5/5 — 이거하느라 밤샜습니다 *2026-05-31* 중독되네요 이거ㅋㅋ 단점을 꼽자면 튜토리얼이 없어 처음엔 헤맨단겁니다🫪 ### 5/5 — 35단계가 끝이예요? *2026-05-26* 35단계는 너무 쉬워요 더 늘려주세요 ㅠㅠ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
