VoxelReconstruct
Read full descriptionHide full description
VoxelReconstruct is a touch-first 3D molecular-assembly puzzle game. You pick atoms from the periodic table and bond them into molecules and crystals following real chemistry — every element has its own valence (the number of free radicals it can bond) and atomic radius, attraction and repulsion derive from size, and a curated bonding whitelist decides which atoms may join. Grow a molecule past a level's threshold and you win. It's a learn-as-you-play chemistry game, made for students building an intuition for stereochemical formulas. [How it plays] ‧ Touch-first: one "Mode" button switches between Navigate (drag to rotate, pinch to zoom) and Place (tap a free-bond dot to drop an atom) ‧ You place the first atom: an empty molecule grows from the moment you tap — nothing is seeded ‧ You choose the element AND the bond order: single –, double =, triple ≡, and coordinate → (a lone pair bonding into an empty orbital) ‧ Real chemistry: VSEPR geometry, ionic vs covalent bonds, multi-bonds that merge radicals so N≡N and O=C=O form naturally ‧ Advanced bonding: coordinate bonds build NH₄⁺, H₃O⁺ and metal complexes, with formal charge / oxidation state shown (e.g. [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ = +2) ‧ Ring closure: two open atoms that come close can bond directly to close a ring (cyclohexane, etc.) ‧ The full periodic table (118 elements), each with its valence, radius and Jmol CPK colour ‧ Curated levels: each level fixes which pairs may bond and mixes in "trap" elements that won't stick — a wrong element is a mistake, three mistakes fail the level; some levels also require a variety of different elements ‧ Full-Table Sandbox: a free-play mode with every element, no mistakes and no failing ‧ Instant English / Traditional-Chinese switch, haptic feedback, progress saved on device (SwiftData) [Pricing] ‧ Free: the complete story campaign, fully playable ‧ Pro (one-time purchase): unlocks only the Full-Table Sandbox — build freely with the whole table ‧ Players who bought the earlier paid version are upgraded to Pro for free automatically [Who it's for] ‧ Chemistry students and enthusiasts building intuition for valence, bonding and 3D formulas ‧ Players who enjoy puzzle and building games ‧ Anyone who wants a gentle, hands-on take on atomic and molecular science [Privacy & Security] ‧ Game progress stays only on your device — nothing is uploaded to the developer ‧ No personal data collection, no ads, no tracking ‧ Built entirely with Apple frameworks, independently by Intoxicated Child Studio Reconstruct your molecules among the atoms

You know that moment at a party when someone puts on a song and the whole room starts arguing about who sings it? Uproar! is that, but as a game. Here's how it works. You pick a set of songs. You cast the game to your TV. A music video starts playing on the big screen. Everyone else scans a QR code with their phone — no app to download, no account to create, nothing. They're in. Now the race is on. While the video plays, every team is trying to lock in four answers on their phone: the artist, the title, the year, and the album. The video is your timer — when the song ends, time's up. Then comes the reveal. The TV shows the correct answers one by one. You watch your friends' faces as they realize they were one year off, or that they confused the single with the album, or that they had it right the whole time but didn't lock in fast enough. This is the best part. This is where the uproar starts. But it's not over. After each song there's a bonus round — a piece of music trivia about the song you just heard. The kind of fact that makes someone say "wait, really?" Worth extra points. Worth the argument about whether anyone actually knew it or just guessed. Then the leaderboard. Then the next song. Then more arguing. Until the final round, when the TV crowns a winner and everyone immediately wants to play again. What makes it different from other music quizzes: Most music quiz apps give you a clip and four multiple choice options. Uproar! gives you a full music video on your TV and four open answer fields on your phone. It's deeper, louder, and way more social. One phone per team means you're huddled together, debating, second-guessing each other. The TV means everyone in the room is part of it, even if they're not playing. Setup takes about a minute. Download on your iPhone, cast to any TV with Chromecast or AirPlay (or just plug in a laptop), and you're hosting. Players don't need anything except a phone with a browser. Works at house parties. Works at bar quizzes. Works on a Tuesday when you're bored and competitive. If you've ever played Hitster and wished it went deeper, or played Jackbox and wished it was about music — this is that. Year correct: 3 points. Album: 2. Artist: 1. Title: 1. Speed bonus for fastest lock. Consolation point if your year is within 2. Bonus round: 5 points. No penalty for wrong answers, because we're not monsters. Your music. Your friends. Your night.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VoxelReconstruct at none against Uproar!'s 1. Uproar!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
