A simple, challenging puzzle game. Overall, very well made and thought out, with very few bugs. However, it seems that the game is trying to work against you, often putting you in losing situations. This typically provides a pretty good balance between randomness and predictability, however the system occasionally decides to give you 4 useless particles and end your game. This makes the game more about luck and hoping that won't happen than being skilled.

Addictive, Simple Strategy for Success, and Long Game Play. Once you figure out the strategy it's easy to build up and play for a long time. Downside is the deeper you get, no matter how good the strategy, eventually you lose because you don't get what is needed to continue. Worse is then having to start all over again and spend 10, 15, 20 minutes doing that same simple strategy. Wait.... I guess this is what makes it a great game!

This is a very aesthetically pleasing game, with good gameplay. While there are a lot of strategies to use while playing Atomas, it cannot be understated how luck-dependent this game can be. A lot of the time when I am playing, I lose because I do not get one of the key components I need to continue, and there was nothing that could be done. There are also some memorization to come with this game, which can be frustrating when you mix something up. Regardless, great game overall.
