Games like Craft Elements
Still thinking about Craft Elements and its minimalist and relaxing tone? These games offer a similar pull for your backlog.
Atomcraft
Every pixel in Atomcraft is simulated, so the world is less a map and more one enormous chemistry set. Dig through a procedurally generated planet, smelt ore, wire up machines from conveyor belts to logic gates, and chase all 118 elements to repair your crashed ship. Bring a curious mind: the chemistry is real enough to send you down rabbit holes.

A falling-sand sandbox built on the real periodic table. Every element has genuine physical properties, and reactions emerge from real chemistry — rust iron, ignite thermite, run a galvanic cell, split a uranium pile to criticality. Discover it all in an encyclopedia that fills as you play.
