Rotate, extract, grab and release atoms in this early engineering game from Zachtronics.
Here is a description of The Codex of Alchemical Engineering from the Zachtronics website:
The Codex of Alchemical Engineering is a puzzle game about programming “manipulators” to move, transmute, and bind alchemical “atoms” into complex compounds. If you’ve played SpaceChem and this sounds familiar to you, it’s because this is the game that inspired it!
The game was uploaded to the official Zachtronics website, but due to the retirement of Flash, it cannot be played anymore in most web browsers. However, a version of the game is available in the digital version of ZACH-LIKE, a 2019 Zachtronics release which includes an anthology of prototypes and early games from the studio.
