So, folks, I found this little gem while browsing through older Zachtronics stuff. It's a puzzle game that will both challenge your brain and teach you something about chemistry, though nothing really in-depth. In fact, you're more likely to improve your programming skills.

So,go check it out [http://www.spacechemthegame.com], absolutely worth your time.
I do have a gripe with the game. It has this excellently simple concept underneath it that scales up nicely. But at the price tag of $20 I'd want the game to last more than the 50 challenges in it. I wonder why the dev hasn't included a procedurally generated challenge mode. I'll probably buy it anyway, someday.
For discussion value - your opinions on the game, on programming games in general?
