Despite the aesthetic and clean animations, this game has no complexity and was poorly thought out by the developers. 1) Gameplay While the core premise of this game is sound, serious players will be disappointed by the lack of thought put into the game modes. Notably, in classic mode it is possible to have a highest atom that is is twice as large as the atoms that are spawning. This leads to a tedious grind that leaves your spawned atoms trailing slowly behind while your largest atom slowly crawls higher. This does not make for exhilarating gameplay and it is worth playing only once. 2) Achievements and Unlockables No thought was put into the creation of unlockables as many of them work against the player during the game. Perhaps you “enjoy the challenge” that these unlockables give, but they do not add difficulty to game play. In fact, they disrupt any winning strategy, making the game more of a grind. Moreover, any useful hardly changes the gameplay. Many achievements encourage grinding and the mystery achievements have no way of completing. While the app is free, and does not matter in general, I cannot help but to express my disappointment in the game. I am extremely disappointed in the developers ability. This is genuinely a terrible game.

I’ve been playing this game for years, I’ve gotten nearly double the “devs highscore,” and while it’s a very entertaining game fun to play in those short moments when I’m on a bus or waiting in line, I’m convinced it isn’t beatable by skill alone. There is a not insignificant factor of luck, and as you get closer to the end game it’s programmed to make your luck worse by giving you numbers that are further and further apart from one another and reducing the chance of + and - it seems making it unbeatable. In the last game I lost I had 1 piece left on the board then got enough numbered pieces (without any + or -) in a row to lose the game, that’s what really set me on the path of changing my review to this one. Being luck based it’s theoretically possible to win by getting lucky but I don’t like that. For a game like this I usually rate 1/5, 3/5 is the highest rating I’ll give for an unbeatable or win by luck game.

I really, really want I just love this game, but the more times you play it the more obvious it becomes that there’s something not right with the way atoms are distributed. Each time a new game starts, the ratio of pluses to atoms is skewed waaaay toward pluses. Like, get a couple of atoms, then three pluses in a row, a couple more atoms, two more pluses... it’s really common for me to have only 3 or 4 atoms but 5 or 6 pluses all stacked up on the same board. Then once you’ve played for a bit, no more pluses. I’ve tried hoarding them, but that just fills up the board so I can’t have as many atoms to work with. By the time I’ve gotten up to Gallium or so, I just get ten or more atoms in a row with no pluses. It’s impossible to advance. Please fix this!
