Overall: Fun puzzle game with chemistry theme! Basically, you program two circuit boards to reassemble atoms into molecules, as a story of space industry and sci-fi intrigue unfolds. Flavor text provides some aspects of chemical knowledge, like the structure and applications of common molecules (water, sodium nitrate, sulfuric acid, benzene) and the periodic table.

Gameplay: Conceptually, you construct two independent circuits (red and blue) by programming them with a sequence of tasks to make/break bonds, move atoms/molecular fragments/molecules, and recombine them to form new feedstock chemicals. If your process completes a set number of cycles without creating errors (atoms colliding, pipelines clogging, or incorrect final products), you complete the level. Each level occurs in one 'reactor' (circuit board), but at a certain point you must chain multiple reactors to complete more complicated tasks (a broader 'strategy' level, rather than a 'tactics' level). The difficulty seems to scale at a reasonable pace as new concepts are added.

Story: It's secondary to the unique puzzle concept but provides nice flavor for the progression of the gameplay elements.

I gave up on this game in my (impatient) youth, but 10 years later a calmer me has enjoyed sitting for hours and experimenting with the programming puzzle elements. It's given me a new appreciation for process development, engineering, circuitry, and programming logic! Great mental exercise!

Yes, I too was alive in 2010.

“So, what did you do with YOUR 20’s?”

Entertaining spin-off of the "simulator" genre. Great potential for short-lived entertainment, or for some lighthearted gaming. Poor physics and in-game viewpoint prove to be unpleasant impediments toward improved performance in surgeries and Achievement progress. Aside from these frustrations, a very entertaining indulgence in the joys of modern medicine!
