Bond Breaker

About Bond Breaker

Pit yourself against atomic physics in Bond Breaker, a new puzzle game based on real nano-scale science.

You start this game in the smallest way possible - as a single proton. You don’t even have an atom to call your own. Learn what it takes to be a proton, experience subatomic forces, and with luck and determination, grow into an atom of your own. Collide atoms together into molecules, or break them apart again using lasers, tunnelling microscopes, and heat.

Created by TestTubeGames and scientists at the CaSTL research center at UC Irvine, this is truly the most accurate physics engine to date. After all, what other game is correct down to the atomic level? When you make and break molecular bonds, you’ll encounter real forces and real physics. You won’t just be learning how to beat challenging puzzles, you’ll truly be gaining a new understanding of the atomic world.

This isn’t just simple stuff, either! While the game assumes no prior knowledge, by the end, you’ll have an understanding of:

Atomic Energy Levels
Light Absorption
Muons, and their crazy effect on atoms
Morse Potentials
Plasmonics: a way to focus light more precisely than a laser
...and way more

Simply put, this is the most fun you can have without buying your own Scanning Tunneling Microscope!
