*Made For The Very Serious Juniper Dev Game Jam 2026

Is the Electron spinning UP or DOWN? We'll never know.
But YOU will be able to indulge in some SERIOUS Chemistry and Physics!

*You don't need to know/remember Chemistry 

Create complex molecular bonds with massive atoms to achieve a HIGHSCORE greater than everyone else!

Estimated Game Time:
- Tutorial : 2 - 5 Minutes
- Normal Gameplay : 10 - Infinite Minutes
- Confusion : Extra 2 - 10 Minutes

Common Confusions? Here's the solutions.

1. In the beginning of the tutorial, just keep your mouse aimed on the Atom until the text finishes.

2. [Spin Up] and [Spin Down] is JUST THE NAMING TYPE of the Electron, you don't need to actually spin anything, it's just their names to identify them!

3. You're struggling to launch the Electron into the Atom? 

Since you can only repel in an 180° cone angle, just go BEHIND the Electron if you want to shoot it towards an Atom, position the Player so that the Electron is in between the Atom and the Player before repelling/launching/shooting.

4. Can't figure out what you need?

The arrows literally tell you exactly what type of Electron you need to shoot into that Atom.

Reading This Further Description Is Not Fully Necessary, Just Play The Game First!

(In case you missed them in the game?)

- LEFT MOUSE CLICK / HOLD to move and interact with Electrons

- RIGHT MOUSE CLICK to select Atoms for bonding

- SPACE after game over to return to the Main Menu

- ESC to exit Itch's Fullscreen

- The Konami Code in the Main Menu to give the Player a Propeller Hat :3

(You'll probably figure it out without this section, surely. Just play first)

How to build elements?
- Keep launching Electrons into the Atom's Orbitals
- If the Atom's Orbital has a Blue (Spin Up) Electron, it must be paired with an Orange (Spin Down) Electron, and vice versa. 
- However, the Yellow Star-Shaped Orbitals (and later on also Pink Orbitals) must individually be filled with the same one type/color of Electron.
- Only once all of the Orbital sections in that color level have been filled with 1 same Electron type/color, then they can be filled with the other type/color of Electron.
- In a nutshell: 3 Blues then 3 Oranges, or 3 Oranges then 3 Blues for Yellow Orbitals, and so on.


How to bond atoms correctly?
- Bonding checks for atoms in selected order, if there is a viable bond, the atoms will immediately be bonded.
- To make a bond such as CH₄, you must first select both a C and a H, but not both H and H as this will create H₂ before checking for CH₄.


What causes Reactivity to increase faster?
- For each unpaired single Electron in an Atom's Orbital, the passive loss rate of Reactivity will be faster
- Launching the wrong Electron into an Atom also increases Reactivity by 5%


What formulas are used to calculate values?
- Launching correct Electron: Score += 10 x Atomic Number
- Bonding Atoms: Score = [Sum(Each Atomic Number² x Total Atoms In Bond)] x 10, Reactivity += [Sum(Each Atomic Number x Total Atoms In Bond)] / 1.5
- Complete Bonus Goal: Score x 2, Reactivity healed by half of what's depleted
- Passive Loss of Reactivity: 1 per [18 seconds x 0.85^(Valence Electrons)]
