Nanocar Racing: The game

A racing game where molecules take the driver’s seat! Get ready to pilot a molecule through a track made of gold atoms. Your mission? Safeguard your molecule from collisions as you race towards the finish line in record-breaking time.
Inspired by the real-life Nanocar Race, where research teams manipulate their own custom-designed molecules using a scanning tunneling microscope, this game captures the essence of the thrilling competition.
Prepare to navigate through a challenging racecourse, encountering clusters of gold atoms scattered across the track. Colliding with these obstacles will deplete your life meter. Just like in the real race, each molecule has unique characteristics, such as speed and resistance to collisions. The choice of the molecule is yours, select wisely!
