SpaceChem is really fun game with a heavy focus on logical problem solving, but it continues to confound me with its illogical interface design choices. I played this on both my fairly small Galaxy tablet and my very un-small Galaxy Note 2, and the microscopic lettering wreaked untold amounts of havoc upon my aging eyes. The fixed aspect ratio also doesn't help its case either. All told, if you really want to enjoy this gem, seek it out on other platforms.

I love the PC version and really, really wanted to love this one, too. The interface is just SO BAD, though. Whenever I'd drag an instruction from the top of the screen, my phone's info bar would pop down and obscure the available commands. The method of swapping the colors of instructions is just bad, too, and amounts to "hold down this on-screen button that's closely nested between three other buttons while tapping precisely with your other finger." Ugh. I'm glad I didn't just buy the paid version sight unseen.

I like the game and would love to be able to play it on my phone, but even on my rather large Nexus 6 the interface is unusably tiny. This desperately needs a new interface.
