Deuteron

In this game you control a hydrogen atom that separates itself from its fellows in order to search for a neutron. Together with this it wants to fuse to form a deuteron, which is the core of the heavy hydrogen deuterium. The playing field for this search is a 3D playing surface divided into 3 levels on which the atom can move. On its way, the atom encounters a variety of dangers such as antimatter and static electricity. Contact with it leads to an atomic explosion, which fortunately is harmless because only a single atom dissolves in radiation. On the other hand, contact with Elemental magnets is time-consuming because the atom bounces off them. Fortunately, there is also energy which is credited to the player as a point bonus. The key for “Up” (or the corresponding joystick movement forward) causes the atom to jump one level higher (or forward at the back, since the surface is three-dimensional). “Down” causes the atom to jump downwards (or forward). “Right” and “left” move the atom in the corresponding direction or slow it down. If you constantly steer in one direction, the movement accelerates. Fire makes the atom jump higher on the same level.
