Game Review (written by Busilife) Added on: 11/26/2006
Who failed chemistry in high school? I didn't, but I didn't do that well. Sure, it was the most fun of all the science classes because of interesting lab experiments, but I could never figure out the equations and memorize all the elements on the element chart. Seems as if the only thing I remembered was how to make water, which is H2O, in other words, two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Does that mean that this game isn't fun? On the contrary, Atomix is a great game.

On the contrary, Atomix is a great game. It’s great because it's fun and also because it's educational. You have to be a fan of puzzle games to enjoy this game, otherwise there's no point in playing it, because it'll

be too slow and annoying for you. But, if you're here at this link, you've probably got some interest in puzzles. I urge you to not let your fear of chemistry stop you from enjoying the game. In fact, it is very interesting and fun. And, as an added bonus, you're about to re-learn your chemistry element table, some knowledge that might become useful if you're ever called up to appear in the Who Wants a Millionaire television show.
This is basically a simple puzzle game where you are to take the atoms that they give you and form various elements. It helps if you have a copy of the periodic table, but isn't completely necessary. I just think it's a bit fun to have a copy on the side with you. If you visit web elements website, they have a good periodic table that you can download. You can also see details on each of the elements in case you decide that you'd like to take the educational aspect to a higher level.
As far as puzzle games go, you have to have patience. The game gets more and more complicated as obstacles are put into place. In fact, the first couple stages seem so simple that you don't realize that it suddenly just got difficult. You are only allotted one life which is really rather burdensome. I always like games that let you start off where you've last ended. In this game, you have to solve the puzzles all over again, just to get to the next level. This can be difficult because some of the puzzles I solved were through no skill of my own, but rather some haphazard guessing. On the plus side, the faster you finish levels, you get bigger bonuses, so by the time you've done the beginning levels tens of times, and you’ll get large bonuses.

Man, at first, to the naked eye, you'd think was just another "game within a game". But man, it is SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT! Atomix is a fun puzzle game with inventive education twist: your task is to combine atoms to form the required chemical molecule, e.g. 2 Hydrogen atoms and Oxygen for water. Each level also has a time limit in addition to the various obstacles you must maneuver around or avoid. Overall, it's a novel combination of puzzle and education that should satisfy both camps.

I love puzzle games, AND chemistry. And this is one of the best combinations of my loves, put together in one beautiful, square package. Highly recommended.
