Vex has a theory. Vera has a microscope. 🔬 Our comic, inspired by u/rextraneous's 2020 Reddit post: reddit.com/r/memes/comments/… Wishlist Atomic Playground: store.steampowered.com/app/5… #AtomicPlayground
Six-panel illustrated comic in Atomic Playground's orbital lab. Charcoal-and-copper Vex confidently calls a clear sample water and refuses to check. Cream-and-teal Vera asks him to inspect it. A lens reveals a complex molecule. Vex revises his theory; Vera replies, Your theory was 'wet.'

Vera has questions. Vex has a confession. 😅 Our Vera/Vex comic, inspired by u/mistermuesli's 2020 meme: reddit.com/r/memes/comments/… Wishlist Atomic Playground: store.steampowered.com/app/5… #AtomicPlayground
Four-panel illustrated comic of Atomic Playground's floating molecular guides in an orbital lab. Cream-and-teal Vera asks who turned up the heat and reads Vex's name. Black-and-copper Vex grins and says, Guess who I am. Vera replies, Of course.

Start with water or choose a different ingredient from the Free Play shelf. Set the count. Change the stirring. See what actually happens in the virtual chamber—no chemical cleanup at your desk.
Native production-player screenshot in Free Play with the ingredient shelf, count field, stirring control, and water-filled chamber visible. This still shows available controls and a water sample, not a player-chosen reaction outcome.

The next experiment can start with a research goal. Reagent collections include carbonates, silver salts, and peroxide & catalysis. Unlock them through in-game research, then take new ingredients into the virtual chamber.
Native production-player screenshot of the Reagent Collections menu. Carbonates, silver salts, and peroxide & catalysis are visibly locked behind in-game research credits; no unlocked-reagent count or observed reaction is claimed.

900 K in the chamber. Your desk stays out of it. Set the temperature, then watch a water sample in Atomic Playground's virtual lab. The conditions are yours to change.
Native production-player screenshot from the September 13 release candidate. A water sample is visible in the chamber with 900 K selected and temperature/playback controls on screen. This still does not claim a particular reaction outcome.

Today's discovery funds tomorrow's experiment. Observe molecules, earn research credits, unlock new ingredients, then see what they do. Atomic Playground, one experiment at a time.

Vera: "Zinc has company." Vex: "Not for long." Even the molecules have drama. Watch EDTA take ammonia's place around zinc in Atomic Playground.

Me: I'll just take a quick look. Also me: emotionally invested in two molecules getting back together. A little microscope time in Atomic Playground.

Freeze it. Melt it. Turn up the heat. Same water. Very different afternoon. What would you try first in your own chemistry sandbox?

A catalyst helps. A solid forms. A proton changes partners. Four guided demonstrations from Atomic Playground. Meet the orbital lab: xitter.cf/AtomPlayground/status/…

A chemistry lab with a view. For when "one more experiment" turns into staring out of the window. Welcome to Atomic Playground.
An actual gameplay frame of the orbital lab: white modular walls, cyan instrument screens, a molecular chamber in the foreground, and a golden sun against a star-filled observation window.
