me, a chemistry major, watching the structures being made: pretend theyre lewis structures pretend theyre lewis structures pretend theyre lewis structures
This startet as a fun little puzzle game and turned to a horror game for chemist with very cursed molecules and even weirder orientations of the molecules.
As a chemist I screamed in excitement as a saw the video and later on in the video that turned into screams of horror. The chemistry in this game is very cursed and all those fun little facts have nothing to do with some of the abominations you create. Fun puzzles tho
Can I ask why? 4 directions makes sense to me in 2d. I can't think of anything that would benefit from 6 unless the game included 3d stuff like crystalline structures, chirality, etc.
@@thehammmann I feel like "a lot" is kind of exaggerating. In 2d it's what, Boron and double bonded Carbon? I really don't think bond angle should be a factor in a 2d game. Organic chemists have been writing tetrahedral bonds at 90 degrees for forever, it's fine
@@Razman5 to be fair, the game isn’t very realistic anyway. a hexagonal grid would make just as much sense as a square grid, but it doesn’t really matter
@@iarmycombo5659bc phonetically tiler is already a word. Like floor tile, so it “tie uh ler” versus Tyler beiny said “tie ler”, just my guess tho, English is stupid 😂
16:06 Fun fact: carp naturally produce geosmin, which is why they taste muddy. It can be avoided by either avoiding the bloodline (where the geosmin is contained) or by having it break down in acidic conditions (i.e. pickling it and/or cooking it in a sour sauce/soup).
[O]2+ is so cursed, I dont want to meet whatever stole its electrons What a cool game though, so often science based games are wildly inaccurate, but this one is spot on!
I bet neutron star should do it (though it would probably steal all 16 electrons, then B- radiate them, then B+ radiate the protons after ripping apart the nucleus itself and gamma radiating that away lol) And I can confirm that AFAIK you don't want to meet a neutron star.
There really isn't expected to be huge amounts of helium on the Moon in any one place, but part of the solar wind is helium, in particular He-3 (2 protons and 1 neutron, instead of the usual 2 protons and 2 neutrons in He-4). Helium-4 is useful stuff, but not worth going to the Moon for, but helium-3 is potentially an incredibly valuable fusion fuel that is extremely rare on Earth. Because the Moon has no atmosphere, the solar wind has been blasting individual atoms of the stuff into the upper few meters of lunar surface for 4.5 billion years now. Almost all of that eventually escapes back out into space, but a small fraction is trapped within the regolith. If mined efficiently and if He-3 fusion were developed to a reasonable level of efficiency (two BIG if's) then there is potentially enough He-3 on the Moon to power the entire Earth for ~40,000 years. If anyone is wondering why we can't get it here, it only really forms here on Earth as the result of cosmic rays (high energy space particles) hitting the atmosphere or from the decay of radioactive H-3 (also produced by cosmic rays). When it's formed it tends to float to the top of the atmosphere and be blown away into space, like virtually all of the rest of the helium in the atmosphere. The bulk of the helium on Earth is He-4, which is created whenever a massive nucleus like uranium emits an alpha particle (a He-4 nucleus). These also get lost to space if they're on the surface, but can be trapped in pockets underground, just like natural gas. In fact, a fraction of all natural gas is helium, and it is becoming more and more lucrative to separate and sell the helium it contains. The same solar wind that is bombarding the Moon's surface hits Earth, but the atmosphere prevents those particles from hitting the ground, and so any light isotopes (H and He in all their forms) delivered to Earth via the solar wind simply float to the top of the atmosphere and are lost to space again. Who asked? Nobody, but I find this interesting and I teach both chemistry and astronomy, so I wind up talking about all of this stuff half a dozen times a year. :-) Hope someone found it interesting.
Just to add on to this- Real Engineering has a wonderful video about the future of fusion technology and they actually mention deuterium and tritium as well as He-3 and going to the moon for it. Iirc they did a cost analysis and a couple other things to really cement it in the realm of feasibility and compare it to fission
@@F3XT probably, but in theory the byproducts of fusion energy make fuel for fission energy, eventually that takes care of that. And on a more sustainable note, the way the moon gathers He-3 is like trying to gather rain with a soccer ball. A more sustainable future alternative could be setting up He-3 traps on the moon to gradually replace mining
First of, THANK YOU for reading the little science facts! Love learning random bits of trivia, especially being a chemistry major myself. Also neat to see that Tyler has a bit of Chemistry knowledge himself.
I have no clue how you find all these obscure puzzle games but I am absolutely loving it. It will often end up with me getting a headache on the more difficult ones but I find it worth it. This will be great to listen to while I try and fix some machinery
@@YourSuizo to add to this, the more you play a certain genre, the more games steam will recommend of that genre, tyler probably sees all sorts of potential games he could try
The dots on the elements are not the number of electrons on the last shell of the atom. They are the number of bonds that element can make. Oxygen has 6 electron on the outermost shell and therefore make two bonds so that the 2 electrons being shared with it, give it 8 electrons on the outer shell. Also know as a full octet
I feel like itd be clearer if the cations just had one more white circle orbiting around them and the electrons they picked up were black or something and removed one of those white circles
@@fusionwing4208 Honestly. You got elements like Einsteinium, Californium, Americium, Lawrencium etc etc etc with all these crazy stories behind their names. Like the element cold war
@@Arbyjar and there are projected to be about 20 more elements beyond oganesson (element 118). So there is potential for even more discovery, so that cold war will be going on for a while unless something proves this impossible
17:48 Nice Depeche Mode reference. Especially given that I was talking to a colleague just now and that very song came up in conversation, which prompted me to listen to it immediately before watching this video. Spooky.
I'd really like to see one of these molecule assembly games where the angles aren't fixed and electrons get shared. Can you imagine heat and catalysts as puzzle mechanics?
I notice with a lot of the puzzles are also designed so that the moecules are also magnetically balanced as well as bonded correct. Basic science tells us that all atoms contain a nucleus of positive protons, neutral neutrons, and free floating negative electrons in an equal number to the protons to maintain a stable atom. To put it simply, the free floating electrons interact based on the law of magnetism, they're all negatively charged and therefore are repelled away from eachother. The attraction between protons and electrons is what keeps electrons orbiting the atoms nucleus (opposites attract) but between atoms, the electrons interracting with eachother cause the atoms within molecules and other more complex chemical structures to be spaced as far away from eachother as they can. Using an example from the video, N2H4 the middle two H atoms are not bonded next to eachother on the N atoms, one is on the opposite side of the nitrogen chain to the other. Thats because of that repelling force between the electrons of each hydrogen atom.
16:12, The human nose is actually incredibly sensitive to the smell of geosmin, so sensitive in fact that we can detect it at concentrations as low as 5 parts per trillion
ive known about this game ever since it got a steam page, forgot that it was supposed to come out this soon the game itself is really fun from a viewer standpoint, and i like how you made the 'fun facts with profesor tyler' definately looking forward to more episodes of this game
This game is cute, but I always hope that this type of chemistry puzzle game will go more in-depth about the molecules you're making (especially the molecular geometry), and I've yet to find one that lives up to that. Is this how linguists felt about Chants of Sennaar?
Just as a note on 17:52. This is not technically true. Aldehydes are a portion of a molecule & there are an infinite number of them that exist. The aldehyde structure is that of at 3:18, but with one of the hydrogens replaced with any other group. It just so happens that the type of Aldehyde containing chemicals in coriander are detected by the same taste receptors as with soap molecules. However, Cinnamaldehyde (a different Aldehyde) is the chemical responsible for Cinnamons flavor and it definitely does not taste like soap.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only chemist screaming a little inside at the square grid; if only it’s 3D, then the molecular geometry might be vastly satisfying
There are iron oxide bacteria naturally in the rivers. 1) They can be collected and dried and smelted into real iron. (there's a white guy 'primitive technologies' kinda channel where he made a full metal triangle out of that) 2) There is usually a ton of brown-orange poopy water coming out of abandoned mines, it's the iron oxide goop also containing iron oxide bacteria.
10:50 my chemistry teacher said to remember in based on the fact that "anions" have "an" for negative, and the t in "cation" stands for + so it's positive. Onions are an interesting way to think about it though.
Hi there is a cool game that currently has a demo called ziggys labyrinth that I think you would really enjoy.also I realy like the new style of your videos with how you and your editors are doing them especially compared to the all ready great videos you use to make
5:08 No but there's a microplastic eating larvae! It's the baby stage of an wax moth, and scientists are studing it to learn how to make it's plastic-dissolving enzime!
2:24 The reason the Moon may be an excellent source of Helium is because of this distinct difference: The Earth has an atmosphere; Helium will mostly bounce off. Whatever Helium manages to integrate into the atmosphere will remain very high up due to the very low density. The Moon has no atmosphere; Helium crashes right onto the surface, integrating with the lunar soil. Additionally, with no atmosphere, the lunar surface remains largely undisturbed, allowing millions if not billions of years worth of Helium to accumulate. The Earth's atmosphere is fluid and shifting; whatever Helium is at the very edge of the thermosphere will slowly but safely be ejected. Also, from first to last, the molecules are: α1: H-H - Molecular Hydrogen α2: H2O - Water α3: NH3 - Ammonia (not Ammonium, that's NH4+, plus meaning it's a cation) α4: CH4 - Methane α5: CH2O - Formaldehyde β1: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees) β2: H2O2 - Hydrogen Peroxide (a powerful oxidizer, bleaching agent and antiseptic; it's also the reason the guy requesting H2O too dies...) β3: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX) β4: N2H4 - Hydrazine (more dangerous than Nitrous acid: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 4, Instability 3) β5: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX) γ1: H-H - Molecular Hydrogen γ2: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees) γ3: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees) γ4: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX) γ5: O4 - Tetraoxygen/Oxozone (in this example, the D2d structure, aka. "puckered square tetraoxygen"; theoretical) δ1: HNO - Nitroxyl/Azanone δ2: CH4 - Methane δ3: H2O3 - Trioxidane (unstable) δ4: H2O3 - Trioxidane (unstable) δ5: H3NO2 - Dihydroxylamine (don't know much about this molecule) δ6: N2O3 - Nitroso Nitrite (don't know much about this molecule)
if you find a hydrogen atom with more than 1 electron let me know. Oxygen has s2p4, which means 4 electrons in the outer must layer, however two are not paired. Carbon has 2 electrons in the outer layer, however, the s orbital electrons from "2" can hybridize thus making 4 free electrons, and I could keep going, but nobody gives a shit.

What’s funny is that I never in my life separated the clothes and I’ve literally never had anything happen to them. I’m guessing if you wash your clothes on temp of the sun it melts the colors together? I’ve never had it happen.
another game like this is opus magnum, but its on a completely different level when it comes to difficulty and gives you some much freedom and difficult when it comes to the materializes you make, they get super complex . it also uses Poly Bridge style leader boards for money,space,and time used.
My first reaction was to get my high school chemistry students to play this game. My second reaction was to let them nowhere near it because of the misunderstandings it will cause. My final reaction is to specifically only give it to my high performing students when they're finished early, with the condition that they explain the errors in the game.

This is so cute!! More please ❤
Would love to see a part 2!
I most definitely enjoyed watching! Thanks for the great video.

hehe. If you know you know...
finally, a puzzle I understand as a chemistry major XD
2:24
The reason the Moon may be an excellent source of Helium is because of this distinct difference:
The Earth has an atmosphere; Helium will mostly bounce off. Whatever Helium manages to integrate into the atmosphere will remain very high up due to the very low density.
The Moon has no atmosphere; Helium crashes right onto the surface, integrating with the lunar soil.
Additionally, with no atmosphere, the lunar surface remains largely undisturbed, allowing millions if not billions of years worth of Helium to accumulate. The Earth's atmosphere is fluid and shifting; whatever Helium is at the very edge of the thermosphere will slowly but safely be ejected.
Also, from first to last, the molecules are:
α1: H-H - Molecular Hydrogen
α2: H2O - Water
α3: NH3 - Ammonia (not Ammonium, that's NH4+, plus meaning it's a cation)
α4: CH4 - Methane
α5: CH2O - Formaldehyde
β1: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees)
β2: H2O2 - Hydrogen Peroxide (a powerful oxidizer, bleaching agent and antiseptic; it's also the reason the guy requesting H2O too dies...)
β3: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX)
β4: N2H4 - Hydrazine (more dangerous than Nitrous acid: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 4, Instability 3)
β5: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX)
γ1: H-H - Molecular Hydrogen
γ2: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees)
γ3: H2O - Water (closer to its real molecular shape, but off by about 14.45 degrees)
γ4: HNO2 - Nitrous acid (extremely hazardous: Health Hazard 4, Fire Hazard 0, Instability 2, Special Hazard OX)
γ5: O4 - Tetraoxygen/Oxozone (in this example, the D2d structure, aka. "puckered square tetraoxygen"; theoretical)
δ1: HNO - Nitroxyl/Azanone
δ2: CH4 - Methane
δ3: H2O3 - Trioxidane (unstable)
δ4: H2O3 - Trioxidane (unstable)
δ5: H3NO2 - Dihydroxylamine (don't know much about this molecule)
δ6: N2O3 - Nitroso Nitrite (don't know much about this molecule)
I sure would like more chemistry fun facts!
This game taught me more about chemistry than school ever did.
if you find a hydrogen atom with more than 1 electron let me know. Oxygen has s2p4, which means 4 electrons in the outer must layer, however two are not paired. Carbon has 2 electrons in the outer layer, however, the s orbital electrons from "2" can hybridize thus making 4 free electrons, and I could keep going, but nobody gives a shit.
Will highlights from Islands of insight be posted or should we watch the VODs?
They will be VODs only
PLEASE, play Space Chem! It's really fun! Like a more complicated version of this game!
I’d love to see more of this, very cool game

Normal people: Clothes?
Memers: 😏

you can actually see the rule where you cant end off the edge on a previous level (7:25) however he didnt notice since he also failed a different way
I'm gonna have to adress how after he said that he was the pillars of creation he put on a black T-shirt, a clear reference to the only true and fallen angel
Might i ask, why isnt THIS reccomended to me but this is exactly what i needed.
I really love pineapple pizza!! and the game is lovely too!
13:54 i need a compilation of every time tyler said something that supports segragation
What’s funny is that I never in my life separated the clothes and I’ve literally never had anything happen to them. I’m guessing if you wash your clothes on temp of the sun it melts the colors together? I’ve never had it happen.
At this point, we need a contest or a checklist to see how many things can be made into a puzzle game.
another game like this is opus magnum, but its on a completely different level when it comes to difficulty and gives you some much freedom and difficult when it comes to the materializes you make, they get super complex . it also uses Poly Bridge style leader boards for money,space,and time used.
He’s played that before.
2:24 The real reason the moon floats above Earth.
12:10 Angry chemistry teacher noises.
My first reaction was to get my high school chemistry students to play this game.
My second reaction was to let them nowhere near it because of the misunderstandings it will cause.
My final reaction is to specifically only give it to my high performing students when they're finished early, with the condition that they explain the errors in the game.
this reminds me of how fun it was to work out all of the chemical formulas in school
10:55 onions poison cats, so I guess not
