  <span class="application">KAtomic</span> is a fun and educational game built around molecular geometry. It employs a simplistic two-dimensional look at the elements which comprise a molecule. A molecule is disassembled into its separate atoms and scattered around the playing field. The player must reassemble the molecule in order to complete the current level and move up to the next one.

  <span class="application">KAtomic</span> will load level one once you start the game and you can begin playing right away. To see how the molecule you are supposed to make looks like, take a look at the upper right corner. To play, click on an atom. You will see green arrows pointing in the directions where atom can move. To move the atom, click on the desired arrow. When an atom starts moving, it will not stop until it hits another atom or a wall, so make sure you think before you do your next move. You can assemble your molecule wherever you like on the game board, but some places are easier to access than others. When the molecule is assembled, you can move to the next level.
