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

How is an atom built? Forge one yourself. Quantum Curling is a science puzzle where you sling particles like curling stones to complete the elements. Settle protons into the nucleus and place electrons onto the K, L and M shells to build all 18 elements of the periodic table, one by one, from Hydrogen (H) to Argon (Ar). ■ Pick-up-and-play controls · Pull to aim, release to shoot. ■ Balance the charge, keep it stable · Mismatch the protons and electrons (an ion!) and the atom grows unstable. · The subtle, razor's-edge tension of balancing each atom into stability. ■ Combine elements into molecules — the Synth Lab · Toss your finished elements into the reaction zone to synthesize 51 molecules. · From Water (H₂O), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Ammonia (NH₃) and Salt (NaCl) to methane and ethanol. ■ Element Codex & Molecule Codex · Every element and molecule you make is recorded as a collectible card. ■ More · Playable offline.
