You are a helium atom. Full shell, no chemistry — nothing can bond with you yet.
Catch a proton and a neutron, fly into the forge, and become lithium. Then the door opens.
Charged bodies pull and push you by your net charge — the arrows show which way. Neutral is calm; charged is fast and hunted.
To bond: fly into a compatible atom — it binds on touch. (T switches to manual docking.)
Tap an atom to go there — it binds on touch. Tap empty space for a nudge, hold to keep thrusting, drag to look, pinch to zoom. Tap yourself to coast, twice to brake.
