At the Center for Chemistry at the Space Time Limit (CaSTL) at UC Irvine, scientists are able to grab individual molecules and yank their atoms apart using lasers. Their research is so mind-blowing that they wanted the world to see it. Their first plan: let everyone rush into the lab, with their grubby little fingers, and proceed to break all of their multi-million dollar equipment. After talking with their insurance agent, they reconsidered, and decided to make a game.
Thus Bond Breaker was born! In this science puzzle game, you get to enter CaSTL’s laboratories in the smallest way possible – as a single proton. Learn what it takes to live in the nano-world, experience subatomic forces, and with luck and determination, grow into a molecule of your own. The game is available now on the web, iOS, and Android.
The game was developed by TestTubeGames, a studio that doesn’t take science lightly. When you make molecular bonds (or break them apart), 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 with Lasers
● Muons, and their crazy effect on atoms
● Morse Potentials
● Up-to-date research, straight from the labs and into your hands
