So much of biology, Chemistry and Physics only makes sense at the molecular level. But how to teach molecular chemistry, and really sub atomic chemistry & physics? It is complicated and hard... or is it? Maybe we just haven't been making a game out of it?

Bond Breaker 2 just came out yesterday! Play it and get back to us!

I never realized that protons had so much fun! This is a funny, challenging and really entertaining game. And you learn about chemistry without even flinching. Congrats TestTubeGames!

Thanks! Yeah, it's been a whirlwind project at the end here, leading up to this major update.

I welcome any suggestions and feedback from the other science game developers we have here in the forums! (It's nice to have a wee community here where we've all thought about similar sci-ed-game challenges.)

Bond Breaker 2 is a huge success!!! Every one loves it and now 50,000 people (or more??) Can tell you details of a protons experience!!! Why is this game so popular do you think? I have my opinions, but maybe we'll see what others say first!

Haha, I loved your tweet with #megasuccess...

We're happy with how the game is doing so far - it's up to about 100k players now all-told. Mainly though, I've just loved the reactions and comments I'm getting. People seem to really enjoy coming across a (fun!) science game. (And the puns certainly don't hurt.)

"This game is certainly not Bohr-ing!" -player on Kongregate sums it up nicely

Also great are the players that find some science that they think is incorrect. Let's me strike up a discussion about some nuanced topics.
