KAtomic is a simple educational puzzle game that is part of the game package which ships with the KDE desktop environment. It is a clone of the early 1990s commercial game Atomix. It employs simplistic two-dimensional view of a molecule. The Elements that make up the molecule are disassembled into separate atoms and scattered around the play field. The player is expected to reassemble the molecule, thus completing current level and moving up to the next one.

[edit] Game Rules

Game pieces can only move in one direction at a time.
Once an atom begins moving it will not stop until it meets either a wall or another piece.
The only way to progress to the next game level is to complete a current one. Once a player completes a certain level the game automatically switches to the next one, thus 'uncovering it'.
A player can only switch between the levels which have been uncovered.
The game progress is automatically saved every time an adjacent level is reached, and will be reloaded the next time application is started.
