Alchemy Merge — Puzzle Game

I like how this one actually doesn't let you layer them to combine them, which makes the screen not get cluttered and makes you not have to deal with a bunch of dragging. this game also lets you know which things can't be combined to make anything and which things can like. you have to hold down to go into the thing in order to find it, but it's still very useful imo.

Very fun! The amount of hints makes it balanced and helps not use hints constantly and you aren't forced to watch ads for hints and get 2 for free every 6 minutes. The combinations also aren't ridiculous and make sense and you get achievements for trying out things, even if they don't work. The main thing I appreciate is that ads are optional so the fun isn't interrupted abruptly.

This game is great and the little icons are adorable. I love that ads are optional, and that there are so many different things to discover. The frustration is that some of the recipes make absolutely no sense. (Octopus is vacuum+fish??? Brain fish would make better sense. And cake should be egg+flour+sugar. Not ice cream+dough!?!? Clay, Bat, string, compass.) I like a challenge, but some of these .... I'd like to be able to report illogical recipes and provide a better suggestion in-app.

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!

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.

Pretty fun concept for a simple time killer. I do wish that when the filter is set to "All" that the default sorting still segmented things into their respective categories. Alphabetical is still useful, discovery order a bit less so. The addition of seeing All discoveries, grouped by category, would be incredibly useful once you start to get to 100+ discoveries.

pretty fun. can I suggest a lock feature and a auto-delete function? lets say, I lock water in the formula bar, put an insect with the water, then hit the vial symbol... Just like if it makes something, it should disappear if it doesn't, but the locked items don't disappear. it could be optional to turn it on and you should be able to lock up to 2 items. just an idea 😊

I love this game. It's simple, easy to use, and paying is not required. However, I like that it also challenges the player. Some of the formulas are straightforward, while others seem to be referring to folklore, or use a play on words to get to the end result. I also like the cute little pictures. Props for the detail. It is my favorite game on my phone. What I like most is that I can just restart when I finish. With there being 580 answers to the equations, I don't remember them all. FA Lv 5

I started to play this as a instant play and I gotta say it's a good game. It's not without it's weird...combinations(seriously how does soil ×3 = gravity??) but mostly it's amazing. On that note, the instant play closed off randomly when I had 240-250 combinations (I don't remember) so now I lost all my progress. Plus it randomly stop the 2 free hints timer and stop giving ads, which meant I couldn't have hints. I have to say it's a good game and I'll consider downloading the game. Good work.

so much fun! i have played a lot of these "alchemy" games & this one provides the same addictive experience with a twist: the ability to combine three elements at a time. i also like the hint system! it is missing a few features. it seems like there is only one possible formula for each item you can create. there's only two sorting options & no "lock item" option, which makes it a little tedious at times. it would also help to have a tutorial on the UI, a lot of things aren't explained!

I still have love for the original game, but I must admit that there have been significant improvements made and they do make everything a bit more logical... although I still miss some of the illogical and humorous creations that were an unexpected part of the old game! Now I've come to expect them but they don't seem to be possible in this version... I might not have figured them out yet however. I'm not going to stop playing though, hopefully a Sasquatch or Dogman will just appear...

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.

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! 👎

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!

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.

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
