Atomas – Family Game Review
Atomas is a Family/Entertainment/Trivia game from Max Gittel, first launched in 25th February 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 3,333+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Atomas Stand Out
Atomas is a fascinating puzzle game, which you can learn in seconds but will entertain you for weeks. The perfect game for your spare time!
Your little universe starts with hydrogen atoms only but with the help of the energy rich plus atoms you are able to fusion two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom, 2 helium atoms into one lithium atom and so on. Your primary goal is to create the valuable elements like Gold, Platinum and Silver.
But watch out, if your universe is overfilled with too many atoms it will cause a big crunch and the game is over.
One way to prevent this is to build up long symmetries in your atoms and start big chain reactions.
From time to time minus atoms appear, use them for absorbing and replacing atoms within your universe or sacrifice them for a plus atom.
You see Atomas is not hard to play, but if you want to get to the top you'll need a good strategy, which keeps your atoms organized.
By creating new elements like oxygen or copper you unlock lucky charms, which effect the game in various ways and adjust it to your strategy.
What Atomas offers you:
- 4 different game modes
- simple but addicting game mechanics
- 124 different atoms to create
- 12 different lucky charms
- exciting challenges
- compare your scores with friends via GameCenter
- share your score on twitter and Facebook
- quick tutorial
The developers high score is 66 534. Can you do better?
This Family game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Dude this is amazing, just got this and its amazing, keep adding more.
This game is our favorite but there are SO MANY BUGS!!! One we found is that when the game ends, there is a share button. When you click the share button, it crashes the app.
Smooth, easy concept, gets challenging, doesnt plague you with advertisements.
The app helps you memorize the elements while playing a fun atom merging game. We found a glitch with the ( – ) power, Im not sure exactly what caused it, but we used it in a hydrogen, placed it, pressed undo (time machine) and it undid two moves while replacing the original hydrogen with nitrogen, and gave us an extra hydrogen to place. The difficulty of the game progresses nicely with the length of the gameplay.
Its our first time playing! We got to Nobelium! Where are the game modes.
We love this game and we love elements.
Ive been using this app off and on for the past 7 years as a way to pass time and we havent gotten tired of it yet. The in-app purchases arent bad, you dont need to spend money to get the full experience or enjoy the app.
We think that this game is sometimes boring because you die. But it can be good game to waste a time.
Such an addicting and polished game with great mechanics! And we love that its helped us memorize the elements when we wasnt even trying.
PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INSTRUCTIONS! Lucky charms? Modes? PLEASE! Basic gameplay is easy, we get it fine, but all the variations and extras are a mystery still. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
The title says it all, honestly. We really enjoyed this game.
Good, but it needs a lot of strategy.
We think this is one of our favorite games honestly. Its simple and fun. We do have one thing we want to kind of complain about though: when there is no more space for atoms and the game ends, sometimes the next thing was a plus. We think when it is a plus, it should allow you to go one more time before it ends because you could get some more space and continue playing.
Ok we just want to say one thing. Yes.
Dude this game is the perfect gam. Its design is pleasant, its simple yet complicated, and its a great way to challenge your brain. This is our first good review on any game by the way so you know that Im picky. Plus NO ADS.
Was looking for something to play that didnt require WiFi. Keep us entertained for a few minutes or something. It does require some luck to get very far. But hey, its a few minute distraction while standing in line, or waiting for a table, etc. Plus we like the element theme.
This is an amazing game as biochemist we enjoy it very much thank you.
Fun game to play with we think we could be not as hard but fun. So far we have got to element 12 mg.
Everything from the design to the animations, to the power ups and different modes, its all incredible. This is one of those games that you should have to pay for, especially since we dont get a bunch of annoying and unsettling ads. This game was one of the few games our mom had on her first iPhone and we would love playing it when we were younger because it made us feel like we were learning and becoming smarter, and now we have that sentimental reminder ever time we open it :). Thats another thing we love that about this game, is that it helps the user learn while also playing a fun laid game. Truly impressed with this game and the Banker by the same developers! Round of applause for your team.
There is no downside to this game It helps us study, no ads, its addicting, simple, well made, and so much more If there was one thing we would add, it would be to put the name of the center atom at the bottom to help engrave the name of it into our head Other than that its the perfect game.
So we usually just rate a game if we enjoy it but Atomas has been one of the best games Ive played in a really long time. Thoroughly enjoyable every time we reach a new element.
Been playing this for a year now. Relaxing way to pass the time if you just need to distract yourself for awhile. If you know a little about chemistry you will see some familiar names, and a lot of not so familiar ones. Lots of fun with just enough strategy to keep you engaged. That being said, you wont make it much past level 60 without a power up. Not sure if its impossible or Im just not as talented. Either way, spend a few dollars to get a power up and see if it helps you move past a rough spot. Even without paying anything its still lots of fun. Definitely check it out.
Amazing app. No ads, just playing. Can spend small money for small bonuses if youd like, in no way necessary. Wish more apps were like this.
The only game we have that has no ads and enjoy every time we play. Thank you to the developers for such a fun concept. The thrill of making new elements keep us motivated and Is fun. We cant wait to beat the developers score.
Ive been playing this little game for about 4 years now. Its helped us deal with our panic attacks and inspired us in some ways that even if we explained it, you wouldnt fully understand.
We love this game, but it had issues. The randomness means we could be getting mountains of +s we dont need. Or we lack them when they are needed. Also, we wish there were more power ups.
A little bit harder than we expected and HOW DO YOU GET KRYPTON??!!! Except that good game.
Esta bueno el juego, el problema es que tienes que pagar por solo quitar la mitad de los tomos ._.XD.
This game is really fun and we really love playing it. But, some of the atoms colors are too similar to each other and it messes us up. For example, magnesiums color is extremely similar to the plus atom color. It makes gameplay more difficult.
Its way too based on rng it would be way better if it wasnt as do but its really cool and would recommend it to kids like us who are learning about the periodic table :D.
With ALL the colors available; why are some symbols the same color? And why are the symbols white? Please make them larger and a darker color.
Really fantastic game that is challenging without being frustratingly so. What is frustrating is that opening the game will stop and prevent playback of anything youre listening to (Spotify, etc) even with the sound and music turned off. This is exactly the type of game thats best enjoyed while listening to something.
Let us start by saying we LOVE this app, Ive been playing since high school and encountered essentially no bugs, no issues playing the game and have had hours of entertainment from this game, but with this recent update (Im on iPhone 11) everything seems to be missing, theres no game modes other than the standard and no option to go to our high scores. Kinda a bummer considering we used to love Zen Mode. Any solutions? An update fixing the bug coming soon? Anything.
Let us start by saying, this is one of the best mobile games you can play. No micro transactions, forced ads, or timers that make you wait to play the game. This is just a fun little strategy game that has cute little atoms. This game is worth the $0 price tag, even if it was $1 it would still be worth it. Message to devs: we found a glitch involving the black hole. If the black hole is placed in a particular spot, it can cause two of the same atoms with a plus between them to not join together. We took a screenshot of this if our explanation isnt clear.
So send a rate for four stars chromium gets out.
We just understand the idea or goal of the game is the tutorial isnt enough. We know trial and error is a thing but its a game, no? Its kind of boring.
Game is great played it before loved it its simple it takes skill and luck but could you update this game maybe make the graphics better and such or even add different music.love the game just sad to see it hasnt updated in years.
This game is really cool but it has a major flaw, we think. As youre playing the game will give subtle hints as to what you should do next, where the atom best fits in. But if youve already started your own chain and you dont follow the hints then it seems almost like the game punishes you by denying you positives until you fill out the game area. Obviously we cant prove this so its entirely unfounded but its just how we feel.
As the atoms add up they add to what they want you to have ultimately. Game is a good game but it does cheat A LOT. The way the atoms add up needs to be consistent and not in favor of the game to ultimately get you to purchase. Basically youre going to lose unless you spend.
You know what a tutorial is for, right.
We really, really want we just love this game, but the more times you play it the more obvious it becomes that theres something not right with the way atoms are distributed. Each time a new game starts, the ratio of pluses to atoms is skewed waaaay toward pluses. Like, get a couple of atoms, then three pluses in a row, a couple more atoms, two more pluses… Its really common for us to have only 3 or 4 atoms but 5 or 6 pluses all stacked up on the same board. Then once youve played for a bit, no more pluses. Ive tried hoarding them, but that just fills up the board so we cant have as many atoms to work with. By the time Ive gotten up to Gallium or so, we just get ten or more atoms in a row with no pluses. Its impossible to advance. Please fix this.
Going into classic, we thought we were gonna get a good, high score. Couple games and end up failing because barely any plus. Ok, then Ill use the Oxygen boost! Next round ends up us getting way too many unnecessary plus signs and when l finally need one it never shows up. Checking what we were going to get next was a plus. Seriously? And that is insane. Too much luck and when you need to be lucky you arent. Wouldve rated 2 star if it wasnt for the fact that we love science and the periodic table.
We like the game but the custom elements that end with 1 are confusing.
It pushes you into a corner until you meed to pay to win. This is a great concept but its ruined by a bad pay to win form. We wished this was a pay once game. Its impossible to win without paying for bail-out items, and makes us feel like a loser.
We wish we could post a screenshot with the review, six +s at the beginning of todays game. Seems to be happening more often now. The developers dont respond to reviews, well with free you get what you pay for eh? The game has a number of positives going for it. But unfortunately the randomness of it isnt one of them. Ive played a number of times now and the +s come in waves at the beginning of each game and then disappear as atoms build up. Ive had literally more +s then atoms then they disappear. Is it a coincidence that a paid feature removes atoms so game play can continue? Not likely time and again we play free games that use a paid fix for the lack of randomness in their random games. Sorry we dont like to be played, only play Still having a significant problem with the randomness issue. Not quite ready to quit and delete but if the developer doesnt want to respond to concerns then why bother playing a game that just irritates you.
Despite the aesthetic and clean animations, this game has no complexity and was poorly thought out by the developers. 1) Gameplay While the core premise of this game is sound, serious players will be disappointed by the lack of thought put into the game modes. Notably, in classic mode it is possible to have a highest atom that is is twice as large as the atoms that are spawning. This leads to a tedious grind that leaves your spawned atoms trailing slowly behind while your largest atom slowly crawls higher. This does not make for exhilarating gameplay and it is worth playing only once. 2) Achievements and Unlockables No thought was put into the creation of unlockables as many of them work against the player during the game. Perhaps you enjoy the challenge that these unlockables give, but they do not add difficulty to game play. In fact, they disrupt any winning strategy, making the game more of a grind. Moreover, any useful hardly changes the gameplay. Many achievements encourage grinding and the mystery achievements have no way of completing. While the app is free, and does not matter in general, we cannot help but to express our disappointment in the game. We are extremely disappointed in the developers ability. This is genuinely a terrible game.
Not fun. Several glitches. Dont waste your time responding to our review, spend it fixing this awful game.
Taking an intro to chem class for an easy A. The first quiz of the semester is over the first 20 elements in the periodic table. We already know most of them but this game is a pretty fun way to study in this case.
This game is amazing and way too addicting, yet sometimes it can leave you feeling in the wrong. Half the time we die, is just based on a string of the same element with no plush tiles. You instantly fill up and lose no matter what you do, and you are left feeling cheated. You dont think we can better ourselves or we couldve done this you just ask why? Its quite annoying when this happens, and it mostly just prompts us to rage quit. Please fix this, also add more boosters after radon, one like boron where you start at a higher level, we feel like the last element could start you at like uranium or something, it would make the game much more enjoyable. Amazing game.
We like this game. Its simple, fun, and challenging. The only thing keeping it from a 5/5 is one simple issue. You see, the way that you lose games is by filling up the game area with too many elements. 9 times out of 10, when you do have too many elements, they are placed in a way that if you can just get one positive then you would be able to continue. The game shows you what the next element that you wouldve gotten was before ending, and 90% of the time the next thing that you wouldve gotten is a positive. Its really annoying that you cant use a positive, negative, neutron, or anything before your game ends. If the devs made it so that you could do that one simple thing, then the game would be a 5/5 in our book.
