SpaceChem is Free for Schools

SpaceChem, a puzzle game produced by Zachtronics Industries that combines the logic of computer programming with the scientific domain of chemistry, is now free to use in schools.

Developers of SpaceChem, Zachtronics Industries, have announced that their game is now available for free, just for schools, until the end of January, 2012.

Any school that is interested in acquiring the game can send an email here and it will receive a permanent site license.

In SpaceChem players build machines using mechanics similar to visual programming that assemble and transform chemical compounds, connect those machines together to form complex pipelines, and ultimately construct special pipelines to fight back against space-monsters that threaten humanity.

Other users can still purchase the game from the official website for the measly sum of $10 USD (7 EUR). If you want to try it out first,  you can download the demo of SpaceChem right now from Softpedia.
