What is this?
Sokobond is an elegantly designed puzzle game about chemistry. It's logical, minimalist, and crafted with love and science.
Sokobond has been selected as a finalist for IndieCade 2013, PAX10 2013 and the Eurogamer Expo 2012 Indie Games Arcade.
Oh, so it's like SpaceChem / Atomix then?
No. The mechanics are very different! A better comparison would be the classic block-pushing game Sokoban or English Country Tune. But with more chemistry.
What are the system requirements?
Windows requires XP or higher
Mac OS X requires 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or higher
Linux requires Adobe AIR 2.6 to be installed, which should install fine on 32-bit versions but might need some poking to work on 64-bit installations.
Will it be coming out on Steam? If I buy now, will I get a Steam key later?
Yes and yes! Expect to see Sokobond on Steam within a few months. Anyone who's bought the game will get a Steam key.
Will it be coming out on iOS/Android?
It will! Eventually. It'll take a while to optimise for mobile devices, but enter your email address and we'll let you know when there's a release date:

So who is making Sokobond?
We are Alan Hazelden and Harry Lee, with music by Ryan Roth.
Alan's past projects include These Robotic Hearts of Mine, Traal and BRICK[bricksmash]SMASH.
Harry has been responsible for Stickets, Midas and Impasse
Ryan has done music and audio magic for Starseed Pilgrim, The Yawhg and Electronic Super Joy.
The video doesn't show me anything. How do I know this is going to be awesome?
Part of Sokobond's charm is in the joy of discovery. We are both very passionate about minimalist puzzle design. Check out Impasse and These Robotic Hearts of Mine. Now imagine the developers of these two games came together in a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco and started making a game about chemistry. This is that game.
