The ultimate goal is to make this complicated factory before your circuits fall apart. From there, you can begin to combine several circuits to create a complex factory web. In the game, players are asked to build circuits that can generate specific molecular structures indefinitely. It’s mentally stimulating, for sure, but it’s way more fun than the stressful screenshot above may suggest. There’s no prerequisite required to play SpaceChem- you don’t need a college degree to enjoy the game.
SpaceChem offers truly challenging puzzles that require you to perfect your skills in programming and circuitry, but solutions never feel hidden or unfair - they just require trial and error, like any scientific enterprise. Many puzzle game challenges tend to be somewhat unfair, with leaps in logic that are designed to be nearly unsolvable.
