What is Sokobond?

Sokobond is a puzzle video game developed and published by independent game studio Alan Hazelden in 2014. In Sokobond, players guide adorable chemical elements around grid-based levels with the goal of bonding them together to form simple molecules.

Gameplay revolves around strategically pushing the block-like elements around each level without trapping any atoms. As you progress through the puzzles, more types of atoms with unique properties are gradually introduced, enriching the complexity of the bonding mechanics. The puzzles strike an ingenious balance between being thought-provoking head-scratchers and light-hearted fun.

With its cute visuals and ambient soundtrack, Sokobond brings an almost cozy vibe to the puzzle genre. The graphics have a bright, chunky pixel art style featuringcharming anthropomorphic depictions of elements like hydrogen and oxygen. The intuitive nature of bonding chemistry concepts also makes the game an engaging way for players to learn while enjoying some cerebral challenges.

In reviews, critics praised the game’s wholesome style, subtle humor, and collection of clever well-balanced puzzles that never feel unfair. While some found the game a bit short, additional puzzle packs have since expanded the content. Sokobond offers a uniquely warm and inviting brand of puzzle gaming rooted in the fundamentals of chemistry.
