I have not been able to reliably get past the launch loading screen within 30 seconds, and am uncertain whether load time is quite long or if there is a button/action I miss (i have a phone with squarish resolution and sensitive swipe commands). Core game is fine, and 3 item alchemy is interesting if a little non-obvious.

This... is honestly a decently well made game. There aren't a bunch of ads most of the time and it's peaceful, even with no background music. Although you can just go in an out several times, it's still good enough for long car rides or when you're just... bored with nothing to do. And watching ads to bring down 2 minutes from the free hints timer PLUS getting another 2 just from watching them is a nice touch! Overall, good game, would... sorta recommend.

Really solid app. Has one of the most user-friendly UIs I've ever seen with the ability to change the accent color, the option to download music or sound effects or not if you want to save space, and the ability to easily get hints without paying (although I was more than okay with supporting the developer). My only gripe is some of the combinations don't make sense to me (why is an octopus fish + vacuum instead of fish + spider?) so the option for alternate combinations would be nice

I've got a few minor complaints about how things are sorted, like why are grapes under soil instead of food and why is a house an invention instead of a building? Regardless, I love the hint system and that you can hide material you won't use again, even if that took me longer than I'd like to admit to find. Overall, this is the best alchemy game I've ever downloaded. Super looking forward to seeing how you might expand it!

Not a bad game to be honest Just to many things to merge Sounds silly for a merge game, but having three combos is way to many to figure out Edit: What a rude and unprofessional response. Repeating combos, a messy UI, with too many combos to keep track of. It's difficult because it's clunky, not because it's challenging. Changed to 1 from that rude response. Good thing there are like 4 other alchemy games in the app store. What a rude dev for an idea that isn't even original! Boo! 👎

Fantastic game. Kept me occupied for about two or three weeks. Just the perfect level of a challenge - not too hard but not too easy. Incredibly grateful for the hints. Some of the logic was hilariously fun, while some of the logic was a stretch. I enjoyed my time playing this. My one critique is that there is no grand celebration when you find all of the recipes. You just get that last huzzah from finding the last recipe and then a blank screen. I would really love to see a celebration there.

I honestly should've quit after 200 items. A lot of the item combinations in the game don't really make a lot of sense like other Alchemy games, making it either really difficult for players to get some of the items, or spam the ad button. I also played the game all the way through, only to find there isn't an ending either. You just get to look at all the items in a list. While the three item combo idea is really cool, I feel like you might wanna rethink some of those combos.

I really enjoy this game! I was finally able to finish it today. However, there was no acknowledgement when I had merged the final bit. It's hard to feel accomplished when the game doesn't even give me a congratulations :( Also, according to the sorting bit, although I have 610/610 elements, I only have 45/46 water elements and 17/18 fire elements. These aren't really big deals, but I'd like it if they were fixed.

Well, I've been playing it for a few days, and it seems fun. It's basically a guessing game where you have to combine 2 or 3 elements to get a new element. You get 2 free hints every 7 minutes that you play (but you have to claim them to restart the timer). The hints do help narrow down the search space, especially by telling you whether the recipe has 2 or 3 elements. I think I will finish all ~600 recipes in about 20 hours of game play.

I really like the game, super fun dichotomy of our world and interesting to see how the developers view objects and concepts. I just wish the recipes were more a bit more consistent, like is it what it's physically made of or just conceptually speaking. But it's not supposed to be that serious, definitely worth playing and spending a few bucks on to make even more enjoyable!
