About

Elements Evolved

Features
Read full description

Elements Evolved is a fast, score-driven puzzle game where every move shapes the fate of the board. Drag elements across the grid, group them in sets of four, and evolve them into higher forms. Build chain reactions, set up huge combos, and keep the field open as pressure rises. Command six elements to create order from chaos, then face the seventh: Void. It can end your run, clear the board, and turn a desperate moment into your biggest strategic decision. Easy to learn and hard to master, Elements Evolved rewards speed, foresight, and nerve. The longer you stay in control, the more explosive your score becomes. Recruit seven legendary Creatures โ€” one for each element, from the Blazing Phoenix to the Abyss Titan โ€” and watch every fusion pay out more Sparks. Pick up free daily gifts, build up Sparks across runs, and grab powerups from the in-app shop when you need an edge. Features: - Chain reactions and runs that snowball into huge scores - Seven elements, including the run-ending Void - Seven Creatures to recruit, each tied to its element - Daily gifts with Powerup Packs and Sparks - Global leaderboards, shareable replays, and trophies to unlock

Atomics is an idle clicker game about growing elements and expanding your own periodic table. Start with Hydrogen. Tap to collect Energy, upgrade research labs, automate reactors, improve element efficiency, and discover the next element. You can return to any discovered element, keep building your favorites, and raise the power of your entire research cycle. Every element has its own skill. As you develop elements, you unlock bonuses that affect your whole lab. Build several elements from the same category to activate set bonuses from nonmetals, noble gases, alkali metals, transition metals, and more. Once you reach the 10th element and beyond, rebirth becomes available. Use Atomic Cores and rebirth points to make the next run stronger. Expand the rebirth skill tree, improve idle production, tap power, active slots, and unlock deeper research paths such as compounds, isotopes, and antimatter. Whether you play in short tapping sessions or let progress build while idle, your lab keeps moving forward. Fill the periodic table and enjoy a long-form elemental growth game. - 118 elements from Hydrogen to Oganesson - Simple tap-and-idle Energy growth - Labs, reactors, and efficiency upgrades for each element - Unique element skills and category set bonuses - Long-term progression with Atomic Cores and rebirth points - Map-style rebirth skill tree - Deep research into compounds, isotopes, and antimatter - Achievements to guide your progress - Supports Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Russian - Autosave support
