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
