Element Forge

Forge the elements from quarks to molecules!

Element Forge is a chemistry-themed idle game where you start with fundamental particles and build your way up through the periodic table. Extract quarks, assemble protons and neutrons, forge atoms, and eventually synthesize the molecules that make life possible.

FEATURES

- 13 resources spanning subatomic particles to molecules

- 14 generators including manual extractors, automatic colliders, and element forges

- 5 upgrades to boost production and efficiency

- 5 progression eras from the Quantum World to the Molecular World

- 10 achievements tied to real chemistry milestones

- 7 educational lessons that teach real chemistry as you play

- Prestige system: trigger a Supernova to restart with permanent knowledge bonuses

- Progressive unlock system based on resource thresholds

- Auto-save

RESOURCE CHAIN

Quarks → Protons + Neutrons + Electrons → Hydrogen → Helium → Lithium → Carbon → Oxygen → Water (H2O) + CO2

ERAS OF DISCOVERY

1. The Quantum World: Extract quarks and build subatomic particles

2. First Element: Forge hydrogen — the simplest atom

3. Stellar Fusion: Fuse hydrogen into helium, just like a star

4. The Periodic Table: Build lithium, carbon, and oxygen

5. Molecular World: Synthesize water and carbon dioxide

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

- Quarks and subatomic particle structure

- How protons define elements (atomic number)

- Nuclear fusion and how stars work

- Electron shells and noble gases

- Covalent bonding and molecular formation

Every element in your body was forged in a star. Now it's your turn.

Built with Godot 4.2 | Play in browser or download for Windows
