#SPACECHEM ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FULL#

Demo Bonus: You can load a demo save into the full game to continue where you left off.

The player, a simple chemical engineer who diddles with molecules, finds increasingly creative ways to destroy massive monsters that could otherwise easily obliterate the very planet they are standing on.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The boss missions end up very much like this.

Combat Tentacles: Gorgathar uses these to attack the SpaceChem facilities during the defense mission on Sikutar.

Amusingly, even the 'boss' of the 63 Corvi DLC campaign gets one, namely 'Corvi - Type K Main Sequence Star'.

Boss Subtitles: For the Eldritch Abomination bosses at the end of each planet.

Big Creepy-Crawlies: Yarugolek, the Cydnidae Adept takes the form of a giant insectoid that uses the remnants of a mining robot as its shell.

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The defense missions consist of the player character fighting off a gargantuan Eldritch Abomination that easily dwarf them, whatever buildings happen to be in the level and even the surrounding terrain.

Most notably, near the end of the game, the reactions introduce elements that don't exist.

Artistic License – Chemistry: Although the game is reasonably accurate with regards to certain details, and is in fact used as educational software in chemistry classes for certain topics, most of the chemistry is vastly oversimplified, inaccurate or plain impossible.

but that doesn't really matter, does it? Art Major Physics: Chemistry doesn't actually work like this-molecules are three-dimensional, a machine to pick up single atoms could never be built, different elements are different sizes, fusion and fission Do Not Work That Way, etc.Notable deaths include Joel ( blanked and put out of his misery via gunshot), Tim ( exploding head), and Marianne ( asteroid impact). If there is a named character, they are probably doomed, usually due to one of the local horrors you're unfortunate enough to encounter on your journey. It's later revealed that it was most likely sabotage by a technician mind-controlled by the local Eldritch Abomination. Is a Crapshoot: Seemingly the case with the Isambard MMD in the Danopth defense mission. The entire point of the game is to program reactors, so the level is solved very quickly. Absurdly Short Level: The tutorial level that teaches players that pipes can cross has no reactors.As the game progresses, you end up with more complicated inputs - from single atoms to molecules to randomized assortments of molecules (which then must be sorted and shipped out) and beyond.Īs you progress through the game, a plotline is slowly revealed, starting as you begin your employment at the eponymous company, SpaceChem.Ĭompare Opus Magnum, a similar game by the same devs. CO + 2H = CH 2O.In SpaceChem by Zachtronics, you are a 'reaction engineer' in charge of running chemical processes through literally nanotechnological processes: you pick up atoms from one end of your reactors, add and remove bonds to transform them into the desired atoms or molecules, and then spit them out the other side.
