⚛️ Collect protons, form elements, assemble molecules, and fill out your Periodic Table. Learn how atoms combine and molecules form while having fun — every atom counts, every molecule matters, and the more you create, the more you learn.

⚛️ How to Play Up and Atom!

Keep Your Speed Up 🚀 Collect White Photons ⚪ to stay fast and beat the timer.

Collect Protons ⚪─🔴 Grab protons to build your nucleus. The more you collect, the heavier the element.

Attach Electrons 🔵 Collect the right number of electrons. Place them into their coloured shells around the nucleus.

Deposit Elements 🟣 Deliver your completed element to the Purple Membrane before the Entropy Timer tears it apart! ⚠️ Each time you hand in an element, your nucleus resets — start fresh for the next one.

Unlock New Shells 🔓 Progress through the Periodic Table step by step. Finish all elements in the current shell (e.g. Hydrogen & Helium for Shell 1) to unlock the next shell. 👉 Each new element becomes more complex, with more protons, electrons, and shells to manage.

Hazards ⚡ Magnetic Fields → increase entropy and slow you down. Gamma Radiation → knocks off a proton (or use tactically to downgrade an element).

Progression 📈 Complete elements to advance through the Periodic Table. Deliver duplicates to build up your Molecules! (H2O is H x 2 and O x 1)
