me, a chemistry major, watching the structures being made: pretend theyre lewis structures pretend theyre lewis structures pretend theyre lewis structures

Jesse, its all just a puzzle.

This startet as a fun little puzzle game and turned to a horror game for chemist with very cursed molecules and even weirder orientations of the molecules.

The fact that a game about molecular bonds is on a rectangular grid instead of a hexagonal one is driving me a bit insane

As a chemist I screamed in excitement as a saw the video and later on in the video that turned into screams of horror. The chemistry in this game is very cursed and all those fun little facts have nothing to do with some of the abominations you create. Fun puzzles tho

"Is this just Sokoban?" - Tyler, to every puzzle except Sokobond Express

[O]2+ is so cursed, I dont want to meet whatever stole its electrons What a cool game though, so often science based games are wildly inaccurate, but this one is spot on!

all the particles created: 1: H2 hydrogen 2: H2O water 3: NH3 ammonia 4: CH4 methane 5: CH2O (sometimes written as HCHO) formaldehyde 6: H2O water 7: H2O2 hydrogen peroxide 8: HNO2 nitrous acid 9: N2H4 nitrazine 10: HNO2 nitrous acid 11: H2 hydrogen 12: H2O water 13: HNO2 nitrous acid 14: O4 tetraoxygen (also called oxozone) 15: NHO nitroxyl 16: CH4 methane 17: HO3H trioxidane 18: HO3H trioxidane 19: H3NO2 dihydroxyamine 20: N2O3 dinitrogen trioxide

12:24 after stating his love for pineapple pizza, Tyler was killed and replaced with another Tyler, indicated by a red shirt /j

These molecules are absolute abominations lol. They start off okay but the longer the videos go on the more cursed the compounds get

16:06 Fun fact: carp naturally produce geosmin, which is why they taste muddy. It can be avoided by either avoiding the bloodline (where the geosmin is contained) or by having it break down in acidic conditions (i.e. pickling it and/or cooking it in a sour sauce/soup).

Cations are positive because cats have paws

First of, THANK YOU for reading the little science facts! Love learning random bits of trivia, especially being a chemistry major myself. Also neat to see that Tyler has a bit of Chemistry knowledge himself.

There really isn't expected to be huge amounts of helium on the Moon in any one place, but part of the solar wind is helium, in particular He-3 (2 protons and 1 neutron, instead of the usual 2 protons and 2 neutrons in He-4). Helium-4 is useful stuff, but not worth going to the Moon for, but helium-3 is potentially an incredibly valuable fusion fuel that is extremely rare on Earth. Because the Moon has no atmosphere, the solar wind has been blasting individual atoms of the stuff into the upper few meters of lunar surface for 4.5 billion years now. Almost all of that eventually escapes back out into space, but a small fraction is trapped within the regolith. If mined efficiently and if He-3 fusion were developed to a reasonable level of efficiency (two BIG if's) then there is potentially enough He-3 on the Moon to power the entire Earth for ~40,000 years. If anyone is wondering why we can't get it here, it only really forms here on Earth as the result of cosmic rays (high energy space particles) hitting the atmosphere or from the decay of radioactive H-3 (also produced by cosmic rays). When it's formed it tends to float to the top of the atmosphere and be blown away into space, like virtually all of the rest of the helium in the atmosphere. The bulk of the helium on Earth is He-4, which is created whenever a massive nucleus like uranium emits an alpha particle (a He-4 nucleus). These also get lost to space if they're on the surface, but can be trapped in pockets underground, just like natural gas. In fact, a fraction of all natural gas is helium, and it is becoming more and more lucrative to separate and sell the helium it contains. The same solar wind that is bombarding the Moon's surface hits Earth, but the atmosphere prevents those particles from hitting the ground, and so any light isotopes (H and He in all their forms) delivered to Earth via the solar wind simply float to the top of the atmosphere and are lost to space again. Who asked? Nobody, but I find this interesting and I teach both chemistry and astronomy, so I wind up talking about all of this stuff half a dozen times a year. :-) Hope someone found it interesting.

10:00 I got irrationally angry when they made oxygen 2+ lmao

I have no clue how you find all these obscure puzzle games but I am absolutely loving it. It will often end up with me getting a headache on the more difficult ones but I find it worth it. This will be great to listen to while I try and fix some machinery

I didn't know iridium was a real element I just thought it was the magic purple metal from stardew valley

3:17 he was so hype for the double bond, if they do a benzene reveal im gonna go NUTS

The dots on the elements are not the number of electrons on the last shell of the atom. They are the number of bonds that element can make. Oxygen has 6 electron on the outermost shell and therefore make two bonds so that the 2 electrons being shared with it, give it 8 electrons on the outer shell. Also know as a full octet

Tyler: Keep the lights and darks away ❌❌❌ Also Tyler: Segregate the colors ✅✅✅

Preceding13:57 cracked me up.

Help the chemicals are consuming me

17:48 Nice Depeche Mode reference. Especially given that I was talking to a colleague just now and that very song came up in conversation, which prompted me to listen to it immediately before watching this video. Spooky.

The way the screen reflects off your glasses and covers your eyes is both oddly unsettling and incredibly satisfying

4:56 I'll do you one better. Johnny was a chemist's son But Johnny is no more For what he though was H20 Was H2SO4

When seeing the thumbnail and reading the title, I was instantly reminded by Opus Magnum!

16:12, The human nose is actually incredibly sensitive to the smell of geosmin, so sensitive in fact that we can detect it at concentrations as low as 5 parts per trillion

This was really fun to watch, especially with the little science facts after each puzzle. Would love to see more of this game.

As someone who has taught chemistry this is a fantastic intro to those that maybe are nervous about it 😂

oh wow i got this recommended 22 seconds after the upload thats cool the game looks interesting at a first glance

This is awesome. Chemistry puzzles are always a win, and as a bonus they snuck in educational trivia!

I love this kind of pathfinding puzzle. It really switches up the formula.

Reminds me a lot of SpaceChem with a more streamlined look to it. Looks great!

this made me remember about spacechem and opus magnum. you would like these

please play more omg this was such a fun video to watch i felt like i was learnin while solvin the puzzles alongside you

This was actually really chill n nice, thanks, I would like to see more of this

I notice with a lot of the puzzles are also designed so that the moecules are also magnetically balanced as well as bonded correct. Basic science tells us that all atoms contain a nucleus of positive protons, neutral neutrons, and free floating negative electrons in an equal number to the protons to maintain a stable atom. To put it simply, the free floating electrons interact based on the law of magnetism, they're all negatively charged and therefore are repelled away from eachother. The attraction between protons and electrons is what keeps electrons orbiting the atoms nucleus (opposites attract) but between atoms, the electrons interracting with eachother cause the atoms within molecules and other more complex chemical structures to be spaced as far away from eachother as they can. Using an example from the video, N2H4 the middle two H atoms are not bonded next to eachother on the N atoms, one is on the opposite side of the nitrogen chain to the other. Thats because of that repelling force between the electrons of each hydrogen atom.

Very satisfying game to watch! It's like you said, it displays it very clearly!!

ive known about this game ever since it got a steam page, forgot that it was supposed to come out this soon the game itself is really fun from a viewer standpoint, and i like how you made the 'fun facts with profesor tyler' definately looking forward to more episodes of this game

I could have used this game during high school chemistry class. This is helping me understand a lot about how molecules work.

yes, i do want to see more of tyler slandering the british dialect whilst solving puzzles of the chemestry variety

Would love to see a part 2!

I see you really doing a great work with editing the videos good job Tyler 👏👏

I would like to see more, fun simple puzzles plus learning things.

I’m glad to see I’m not the only chemist screaming a little inside at the square grid; if only it’s 3D, then the molecular geometry might be vastly satisfying

hell yeah, I'd love to see more of this chem puzzles my beloved

Looks like a fun game and I enjoy the fun fact readouts between levels.

There are iron oxide bacteria naturally in the rivers. 1) They can be collected and dried and smelted into real iron. (there's a white guy 'primitive technologies' kinda channel where he made a full metal triangle out of that) 2) There is usually a ton of brown-orange poopy water coming out of abandoned mines, it's the iron oxide goop also containing iron oxide bacteria.

I most definitely enjoyed watching! Thanks for the great video.

man i would LOVE a full video of card shark. probably one of my favorite series

I played a lot of sokobond a while back! It was pretty fun if really easy but maybe Express will be more my speed!

This game is awesome! The puzzles are great, and the small little facts are actually super interesting!

If this was made on a hexagonal grid it would be so much more visually appeasing

Love when they start combining chemicals and puzzles

Just as a note on 17:52. This is not technically true. Aldehydes are a portion of a molecule & there are an infinite number of them that exist. The aldehyde structure is that of at 3:18, but with one of the hydrogens replaced with any other group. It just so happens that the type of Aldehyde containing chemicals in coriander are detected by the same taste receptors as with soap molecules. However, Cinnamaldehyde (a different Aldehyde) is the chemical responsible for Cinnamons flavor and it definitely does not taste like soap.

This is such a neat little puzzle game, and also learning how sunscreen worked blew my mind

12:23 this is outrageous

This game is cute, but I always hope that this type of chemistry puzzle game will go more in-depth about the molecules you're making (especially the molecular geometry), and I've yet to find one that lives up to that. Is this how linguists felt about Chants of Sennaar?

Spacechem but modernized! Yay!

Looks pretty great, can see it was probably influenced by Zachtronics "opus magnum" and "spacechem" but it's less fantasy more cute and educational.

I’d love to see more of this, very cool game

i can't, tyler you're just hilarious. I love your channel man, once i'm back up on my feet i'm definitely joining the patreon.

Spacechem but with trivia... Neat.

This is so cute!! More please ❤

4:18 There was already a word spelled "tire" so it would make sense to spell a completely different word "tyre" differently

You're editors are amazing

4:49 That was the best pun I've ever heard since Undertale. Wow.

I sure would like more chemistry fun facts!

12:10 Angry chemistry teacher noises.

Thanks professor Tyler. Very Cool

10:50 my chemistry teacher said to remember in based on the fact that "anions" have "an" for negative, and the t in "cation" stands for + so it's positive. Onions are an interesting way to think about it though.

I knew you'd play this as soon as i got recommended the trailer.

I've played a demo very long time ago. It's a clever hybrid between ideas of two games. But yes, some molecules are ridiculous :D

this reminds me of how fun it was to work out all of the chemical formulas in school

Hi there is a cool game that currently has a demo called ziggys labyrinth that I think you would really enjoy.also I realy like the new style of your videos with how you and your editors are doing them especially compared to the all ready great videos you use to make

we have spacechem at home. spacechem at home:

I'm digging it!

10:50 cations are also 'paw'sitive

finally, a puzzle I understand as a chemistry major XD

3:00 "So I've got a top and bottom boy" hehe. If you know you know...

I love when you "create something that doesn't exist", the game can handle that

Might i ask, why isnt THIS reccomended to me but this is exactly what i needed.

This game taught me more about chemistry than school ever did.

My fav part of the game was just all the cool facts that came after each level lol

It'd be cool if you made more videos on this

I almost wonder if this game accounts for the angle for each bonds in later worlds. (I have little hope for it frankly, unless they introduce irregular shaped grid lol)

18:09 I thought that was cilantro!!

You keep posting just as my lunch break is over lol

watching this in a free period in my chemistry class

As a chemistry major i love this

12:25 Tyler hot takes ❤️‍🔥

Great video 👍

13:54 i need a compilation of every time tyler said something that supports segragation

"Keeps the lights and darks away" Normal people: Clothes? Memers: 😏 *Witness players* : -veitnam flashblacks-

Man you taught me about chemistry more than highschool chemistry class

3:03 hey, me too! what do you mean atoms

Good to know that Tyler does his laundry the same way I would

PLEASE, play Space Chem! It's really fun! Like a more complicated version of this game!

2:24 The reason the Moon may be an excellent source of Helium is because of this distinct difference: The Earth has an atmosphere; Helium will mostly bounce off. Whatever Helium manages to integrate into the atmosphere will remain very high up due to the very low density. The Moon has no atmosphere; Helium crashes right onto the surface, integrating with the lunar soil. Additionally, with no atmosphere, the lunar surface remains largely undisturbed, allowing millions if not billions of years worth of Helium to accumulate. The Earth's atmosphere is fluid and shifting; whatever Helium is at the very edge of the thermosphere will slowly but safely be ejected. Also, from first to last, the molecules are: α1: H-H - Molecular Hydrogen α2: H2O - Water α3: NH3 - Ammonia (not Ammonium, that's NH4+, plus meaning it's a cation) α4: CH4 - Methane α5: CH2O - Formaldehyde β1: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees) β2: H2O2 - Hydrogen Peroxide (a powerful oxidizer, bleaching agent and antiseptic; it's also the reason the guy requesting H2O too dies...) β3: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX) β4: N2H4 - Hydrazine (more dangerous than Nitrous acid: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 4, Instability 3) β5: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX) γ1: H-H - Molecular Hydrogen γ2: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees) γ3: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees) γ4: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX) γ5: O4 - Tetraoxygen/Oxozone (in this example, the D2d structure, aka. "puckered square tetraoxygen"; theoretical) δ1: HNO - Nitroxyl/Azanone δ2: CH4 - Methane δ3: H2O3 - Trioxidane (unstable) δ4: H2O3 - Trioxidane (unstable) δ5: H3NO2 - Dihydroxylamine (don't know much about this molecule) δ6: N2O3 - Nitroso Nitrite (don't know much about this molecule)

At this point, we need a contest or a checklist to see how many things can be made into a puzzle game.
