I think this GIF gives a better summary of the game than I can:


Anyway, you have to produce the target compounds (blue area) from the inputs (green). Adjacent atoms bond to each other if they have free electrons, pushing atoms with pistons breaks all their bonds.

CONTROLS:

  • Left Click - place component (drag for direction)
  • Right Click - delete component
  • WASD /  Arrow keys: Pan Camera
  • Z / X: Zoom Camera

I do not have access to rotate or fast velocity block, on top of that molecules are currently treating pistons like solid blocks

(+1)

I don't know about the blocks, but to make a piston push you need an atom to move behind it.

not fun. the mechanics are unintuitive, and you have to have a bachelor's in problem solving to beat the first level.

bro just admit to having a skill issue, we won't judge

how do you beat oxbox?

I don't know t

HOW DO WORK?

Kinda confusing tbh. 

also, what does cycles mean

i "beat" the first level but it wont show any other level.

I'd say this game was good if there was a proper tutorial. The GIF doesn't explain nearly enough.

this game is amazing but for some reason when i close the tab all my progress gets reset :(     I'm using chrome if that means anything

finally beat electrolysis

IM NEVER GONNA BEAT COMBUSTION

FINALLY!

spacechem, but pixels!

(+1)

i cant even beat hydrogen

mee to

that comment is no longer true i made a loop that let me get the hydrogen molecules into the goal area right before the next atom comes in

 i did that too and ITS NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!

bruh

A wall is neede

you don't even need a complex machine

all you need is 3 belts and a wall

me three

What a great game. I played it a lot to get to gold.

don't tell me theres a COMBUSTION2.

combustion was pain and i finally beat it

(2 edits)

pain.
no exxageration, I've been trying to get gold on electrolysis for over a year.

also completely unrelated but can you please add zoom buttons or a fullscreen button I'm tired of scrolling the page every single time I want to zoom

OH MY GOD I FINALLY DID ITYESSSSSSSSSSSSS

THE WHOLE YEAR AND MORE OF ATTEMPTS FINALLY PAID OFF
(+1)

I shouldn't have missed the fact that zoom is basically unusable in browser...
you can now use Z/X to zoom in/out

(+1)

hol' up
This game has a DOWNLOADABLE?

Help I beat lv1 10 times and a still cant progres

hmmm it works ok for me on firefox...
what browser are you using?

using google chome

see it for yourself

checked on chrome, seems to work fine on my computer
I think the most likely cause is that the game is failing to save progress - have you blocked that somehow?

blocked WHAT somehow?

Ok I think I've managed to replicate the bug - when I reopen the game on Chrome the first level has a saved solution but not a saved cycle count and doesn't unlock the second level until I complete it again.
Is that what you're experiencing?

(+1)

how do you rotate buildings

you drag in the driection you want it to be i

(+1)

how do i finish peroxide level?

(+2)

I hate you

but it helped

yes

pain

Huh it seems like firefox has decided to break the game somehow - I haven't updated it recently, and it still seems to work in chrome...

I've looked everywhere, but I could never quite find anything like this! There just isn't a lot of, I don't know what to call this, besides Zachtronics. Besides, Zachtronics isn't free.

is it intended that we can remove pre-placed objects in the level? I am stuck on how to get the 30 cycles in level 2 and I think that might be because I am trying to not remove any pre-placed parts even though I can.

(+2)

Yep, the pre-placed parts in 2 are intended to show the splitting feature, not to restrict your solution

(+1)

thank you for clarifying.
