Sokobond
A 2D Sokoban puzzle where you move a single atom around a grid and bond it with the atoms it touches to assemble a target molecule. Each atom's number of free 'hands' is the only grammar; tiles that break, double, and rotate bonds arrive one per chapter. By Alan Hazelden and Lee Shang Lun, 2014, scored by Allison Walker.
