Startlingly good
I've put a lot of hours into this game, a LOT of them, and I still haven't come close to finishing. Best value I've gotten out for my gaming dollar in a long time. The basic idea is that you're running 'factories' to assemble atoms. You're setting up a visual program using "waldoes", one red, and one blue. Each factory is divided into a workspace of something like 12x12 space, and you design paths for your waldoes to travel over to accomplish your goal. Early on, you have to do very simple things, like simply take atoms from the input to the output, which teaches you how to route waldoes, how to pick up and drop atoms, and how to pass them out of the reactor when you're done with them. Later missions get gradually more and more complex, as you start to go to multi-factory layouts. The difficulty ramp in this game is very steep. My experience was being handed, over and over, puzzles that looked flatly impossible to solve. But thinking your way through these things is just amazingly fun. I don't know what it is about Spacechem, but this game absolutely puts me in the zone, and keeps me there for hours at a time. I'm not usually a big puzzle-game fanatic, but something about this game grabbed me HARD. I've lost count of the number of times I've gotten completely stuck and temporarily given up, only to have a new idea, hours later, and then come back and solve a previously-impossible puzzle in short order. There are multiple skill levels to this game, and after you've gotten through four or five sets of scenarios, you'll go back to your early ones, and be amazed at how much more efficient you've learned to be. There's a demo available from the main site, and I suggest VERY STRONGLY that you check it out. I'm not normally a big puzzle fanatic, but Spacechecm is different, and awesome. Imagine me reaching out of your monitor, grabbing you by the collar, and imploring you to go play the demo. I don't know if you'll like the game, but I'm utterly, deadly certain that you should try the free demo.
