Cool and fun

Educational, fun, and interesting! Maybe iron should be included.

Please add more!

This game is amazing! They are teaching me chemistry, and it’s fun, despite the bugs.
The only thing that I am unhappy about is the atom limitation, I want an expansion set!

Happy atoms

This is fun game and educational game. Definitely reccomend 10/10 . But one issue, please make the atom detector smaller. When you scan a big molecule, its hard to select the atoms since the marking points are too big.

Two small bugs…and some advice

There are some bugs with the compounds Syn-propanethial-s-oxide and gamma-aminobutryic acid. These bugs can be fixed by scanning the amount of atoms shown by the formula. For example, with gamma-aminobutryic acid, because the formula is C4H9NO2, you could scan 9 hydrogen, 4 carbon, 2 oxygen, and a nitrogen.
