Atomic is a port of the well known KDE game
katomic of the KDE project.
The objective of the game is build up molecules
by moving the individula atoms of the
particular molecule into the proper positions.
This is done in a labyrinth type game board.
A level is one if a molecule is correctly set up.
The Atomic game has a very nice and novel
idea which is well implemented. Moving the
atoms to build up molecules is a good and demanding
logic puzzle which keeps you playing and trying again.
The nice graphics and good handling of the game make
it fun to play. There are a few problems, especially
compared to the KDE version. Due to the smaller screen
the target molecule is not visible at the same time as
the atoms and you have to switch the screen. Also there
is no highscore list which would motivate you. Also
it can be argued whether it is an advantage or a
demotivation factor that all levels can be selected at
any time as independent games. A bit more thought into
the game play, game design
and game motivation would have made this an
exceedingly good game but in the current version it is
still very good and can be fully recommended.
