Atomic Clicker is set in one of the smallest worlds known to man - the atomic and particle level! Collect particles and create atoms. Then collect some more. Then get even better at collecting. Can you collect all 10 of the atoms of this version?

Atomic Clicker is also educational, as you'll learn about the elements of the periodic table through play.

Controls: Just left click. You'll figure out the rest through playing.

Warning! this version has no save feature. All progress is lost if the game is closed.

This was the first Ludum Dare for both members of the team, and even though we started somewhat late, we are very proud of the little game we made. There are many improvements we'd like to make (reset system, creating molecules using the atoms, quizzes to test your knowledge, 3D animations, sound, music etc) but this is what we finished in the limited time of the jam. We hope you like it!

A nice clicker game showcasing the elements of the periodic table - making you brush up on your chemisty :). Nice idea.

Really interesting take on the clicker game concept. I like how you have to manage your reserve of protons/electrons/neutrons before producing atoms at scale.

Is there any reward on basic particles after I unlock advanced atoms?

Some tooltips would be helpful to know how much is spent per second of a resource, more data sheets please!

Hey @fangzhangmnm, we wanted to add more content like upgrades or creating molecules with the atoms but we didn't have time. Right now, if you create every atom there's nothing else to do in the game.

@gama-croma good point, stats and data are an important part of clicker games. We'll try to add them.

Great idea and lots of fun. Having multiple resources is a really neat concept to the clicker genre!

I would love to play, but the unity webgl did not let me rescale the game to fit my screen (resolution of 1366 x 768 here)

@laguna thanks for letting us know! we made a webgj game for the first time, we'll try to do better next time.

Phew, I finally unlocked all the 10 atoms. That was a lot of clicking. ;)
It was not that educational for me, except that I needed a lot of protons, neutrons and elcetrons. ;)
For it to be more educational, it would be nice if the amount of P,N,E needed to build an atom were still visible after clicking it. Also, maybe the picture in the screen can change according to type of atom that you click? It seems that as a player, I better not use the atoms per second functionality, so that you don't lose too many basic P,N,E all the time. There didn't seem to be a winning condition.
Congrats with your game. :)

Thanks @papaver. All your feedback are things we're already considering, good to verify that we have the right things in mind :)

We might work more on this and make it cooler.

Sooooo addicting!
If my finger didn't hurt, I would finish it. I found a bug, if you clicked fast enough you could go below 0 neutrons, that would surely be fixed withe more time.
2 / 10 finger hurts.

Just kidding, fun game :D

I'm not a big fan of clicking games. I found myself just clicking random buttons, but it I still did good. The graphics are not great, and there isn't even audio. The game doesn't even stretch itself to fit the theme. This could be a lot better, but keep working at it!

I'll admit not my cup of tea clicker games aren't but with that being said it's an incredible effort. Great job! =D
