Downloaded the demo for SpaceChem. I love this game.

I had no clue what I was getting into when I downloaded the demo. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but I stayed with it and this has been one of the better puzzle game experiences. I have collected the SpaceChem DLC from the summer event, and when I get the money you can count of a purchase from me.

Thank you, Zachtronics Industries!

The Steam summer sale made me play this for the first time, and I had a similar reaction. Mind is blown.

This game is basically symbolic programming. It teaches the identical thought processes needed for coding real-life programs, presents the same problems and delivers the same joy, but in a completely symbolic way. Budding game developers should grab this game.

I saw this back when it was promoted with the TF2 items. I thought it looked interesting, bought it and gunned for the TF2 items, but stuck with the game and I've managed to get as far as Carbomega and that level sucks. Least there are a ton of fun ResearchNet levels to do in the meantime.

I went in thinking I'd hit a skill cap before long. Fortunately I have yet to hit this(Carbomega isn't considered this, I'm merely discouraged from doing that one atm...)

I first heard about this game in an article from PC Gamer magazine. Having heard about it, I added it to my wishlist (which is more like a bookmark than an actual wishlist) and just left it there. I finally got around to trying the demo.


I can't believe I left it be for so long. I am definitely going to pick this game up now.
