In the game, the player takes control of a small black atom called the chemic. Moving around the screen it must collect small molecules called Moleks until it matches a pattern in the center of the stage in design. If the player catches a Molek in the wrong spot, they can press a button to immediately let it go. The player's only enemy in the game is the Atomic, a malevolent cellular clump that flies around the screen and blows up the Chemic on physical contact. The player is able to defend from the Atomic by collecting Power Moleks, which grant them temporary invincibility.
