First time i did not really know what to do, but after 10 Levels you know what to do and it is very good. I like this game - gambling and thinking - bravo 5 Stars.

This game reminds me of Atomic, a pretty old DOS game. 5/5 :) It would be nice if Kongregate could add badges to it, so more people will play it for sure ;)

This is a good game, but the explanation could have some work. It's hard to figure out what will work and what will not.

its cool, entertaining, and well..challenging enough to spend our time in this partially addicting game and waste our time on some great stuff! 5/5

Completed the game with a score of 500 in one session without even understanding the rules. Too easy to just randomly click your way through. Fantastic game artistically, executed fluidly, but the concept behind the puzzle, while original, is simply too easy. It also feels like it's set up in such a way that it encourages brute-force attempts by not penalizing multiple tries on the same board and allowing you to instantly start over.

Quinn's Review: Atomic Puzzle is ... okay. It's fairly slickly produced and has nice music. The idea is not hugely original, nor the execution, but that's okay. The biggest problem for me is that I like my puzzle games to be heavy on the logic, and this game is a bit too much towards the trial and error end of the spectrum. It could be just me, but I had real trouble getting my head around the central mechanism sufficiently to plot my moves in advance, which turned each level into random elimination of groups until something manageable showed up. That can be a laugh, but it's not really a challenge or a puzzle. I'm also not a fan of the walkthrough only being accessible if you install a third party Facebook app first. That seems disingenuous, as if the developer made the game as an excuse to get your FB data.

I didn't really know what I was doing the whole time, but using intuition to solve the puzzles seems to help o_O
That music is wow, really fits in with the animations too, it makes you feel all... chill bro :)

I just noticed a time limit. Why? Gotta take a star for that. I *hate* time limits, and when there's no reason behind it except for arbitrary anger-making, it's even worse.

Good concept, but there's no real explanation as to how it works. You can BS your way through level 1-10 then suddenly it gets a lot hard at level 11.

Things I liked in this game:
-Music. It's very nice, and good to play this game to.
-Graphics. The game is very pleasing to the eye, and very smooth as well.
Things I do not like in this game:
-Gameplay. The reason being that although this is meant to be a puzzle game, it is extremely easy to brute-force hack the game, and just click random combinations until you get to the end. Instead, make it more logical and less possibility for random-click wins.
Overall, 4/5. You managed to occupy about half-an-hour of my time, good job. :D

Fun, but I made it through the first 30 levels or so before I actually knew what I was doing. More explicit instructions on how the game works would have been nice, because "You can click these because the colors match" didn't completely explain it.

Excelent idea. I don't know what all the fuss is about, it's really easy to understand. I feel a bit tired right now though, so I can't be assed to think to get through the levels, but the idea is great and I think I'll enjoy it when I'm awake properly. The way the atoms interact was still really easy to understand though - I have absolutely no idea why you guys have such a hard time 'figuring' it out.

Really entertaining game. I went throughout all levels without getting bored one bit. At least a medium badge for completing all 50 levels would be highly appreciated.

Great game. The originality of this is stunning. I have never seen a game like this. The music surrounds the levels perfectly, and I love that great feeling I get from finally beating a really hard level.The quality is good, too. A level editor might be nice, though. Either way this game deserves a 5/5.

I don't like facebook sorry, also, took til level 25 to actually fully grasp the mechanic and then realise it's faster to try when you're not sure rather then think about it more thoroughly

not hard ... not easy . like a gust of wind I go through the levels discovering colour & challenge its quite mentally involved if i had to give a score my score would be 5/5 stunning ... brilliant !

this game can still use a completion badge to promote it. lol. as a badge-hunter and a game player, this is an excellent puzzle game that needs at least a completion badge

Great concept! Original idea and it oozes polish! The soundtrack is top-notch because you don't really notice it's there, but you'd definitely notice its absence. Just a bit more in the way of explaining the mechanics would help me feel like I wasn't just randomly clicking my way through the first few levels, but other than that this is an A-class game! I'm not huge into this type of puzzler, but it gets a 5/5 for being solid and pretty to look at and listen to. Well done!

My mind can't quite grok the way in which the colors cancel one another out and how the links reconstitute themselves as necessary, but that's just the mark of this being a clever *new* game, and one that I look forward to jumping back into once my brain decompresses a bit. 4/5.
