Due to its extreme complexity, SpaceChem will never be a title for everyone. Too deep and articulate for casual players, it will be appreciated only by those who are willing to engage themselves with the deep game mechanics Nevertheless Spece chem is no doubt one of the most brilliant puzzle game in the history of videogames.
Chemical maniacs will definitively fall in love with this tricky and fulfilling title!

The game has a very simple design, but he levels become incredibly hard later on. It's not a game you can play for hours on end, or at least later on, because each level takes so long to come up with a solution and you will get stuck so you need some downtime to maybe think about your solution.

SpaceChem is an intelligent and addictive puzzler with a high difficulty level but some of the most enjoyable and satisfying puzzles I've ever experienced. This is a modern classic in the puzzle genre.
Sure, SpaceChem is just pseudo-science, but it does capture that mystique of toying with nature's fundamental ingredients.
What I enjoy the most is the fact that there is no right way to come up with a solution. If it works, you win.
OCD-fuelling obsession for some, brain-melting difficulty for others. Choose, and perish. [Apr 2011, p.70]
If you like those kind of games, it's probably the best of the last 25 years. It's a game of extremes, the graphics are simply annoying, but it can keep you playing one level for a whole day.
Whell perhaps its because i like how puzzles line up and groups into patterns and have spent too much time in games like factorio, simutrans and TTD I just cant seem to stop playing this one, getting all my contructions to max efficiency :), the sharing solution videos on yuotube addon is awesome and I tip my hat to all yuou awesome inventors of smart soultions. I must say that this game can be a bit hard so perhaps not for the faint of heart ^^
Cheers Zachtronics! give us more!

From the start, this game disappointed. Entering a DRM key with extremely tiny letters into a text field with no arrow key support (you can't go back and change a letter if you get one wrong, you have to delete everything and start over) is not a good way to start a fun game. Eventually I got it working, and I soon wished I hadn't. In a nutshell, this game is too simple in the action department, and too complex in the how-to-play department. I'll admit, I enjoy a good action game, but if a puzzler is done right, I can waste plenty of hours on it. This game, however, was just too boring. I didn't care who the hero was, I didn't care why he needed to move circles (molecules) around, the game just did not motivate me to move past the first few levels. Basically, if you like dragging and dropping shapes onto other shapes, you'll like this game. And if that's the case, there's a little game with differently shaped pegs that you have to put into similarly shaped holes that you might like too.
