A puzzle game (also called Atomic if the title-screen can be trusted), similar to Sokoban, where you move atoms by sliding them horizontally or vertically in any direction, but without being able to stop them until they hit an obstacle. The goal: to form a molecule straight out of your old chemistry lessons.
“Noooooo!!!”
The time limit and lack of passwords are quite annoying. It’s a bit of an artificial way, I think, to hide the game’s short lifespan (30 levels). Fortunately, the emulator lets you pause and save at will.
The two-player mode is actually a one-player mode interrupted every fifteen seconds to say “pass the mouse to your buddy”. Meh…
In the same vein, you might be interested in Sokobond (2014).
