The value story

38 discounts in the 6 years on record, a median of 40 percent off across all of them, roughly 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 36 percent on value. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre. Sand:box ($1.99, scores 75) outscores it, and so does Electrician Simulator ($1.07, scores 58). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Nice game that teaches you some basic reactions of chemistry. But the biomolecules part isn't very complete, beta glucose should be soluble and have exactly the same gram per mole as alpha glucose.Also how is the lewis structure and 3d structure of alpha and beta glucose the same???
KaiserWhRecommendedafter 14hApr 2026Read on Steam
I highly recommend this game or more so simulation, as it is a very good tool for learning and practicing chemistry for fun or academic purposes. I think that this game is nearly perfect for anybody who is interested in chemistry and likes to spend their free time doing it, it is a really fun way of learning and discovering new things about it. Their are a few bugs but overall the game is really well-made.
