exactly what it said on the tin! amazing job - would love to have been quick enough to add my review but im a few mins off apparently. would love to see more and have a cool log to enjoy my fruitful new skills!
Have I mentioned how happy this game makes me? :)
I loved the fact that I had to figure out the recipes just like someone's first day on the job (uh, yeah, im an alchemist)
This kept some mystery and challenge if there were a recipe list the game wouldn't hold as much of my attention and the reward for finding the recipe not so sweet.
This is exactly the types of games that I play, challenging, rewarding, no time pressure.
I thought this game was very neat, I just personally suck at these kinds of puzzles. The hints definitely helped in most cases and overall I thought the concept was super cute! I like the story you came up with and alongside the music in the game itself and the lil' background animation, there were some nice details overall! Great foundation and you could totally even make this into a mobile game if you wanted to, would be a great idle-time kind of game!
I LOVE this game! I want more
I want to do an endless mode and add more combinations. Maybe unlock recipes. I don't know how far I want to go with it though.
Enjoyed this one :) Great gameplay loop! Loved that I wasn't prevented from progressing even though I couldn't figure out the exact recipes! Great work.
Neat idea. Reminds me of a flash game or mobile game I played where you combine elements. More help would have been helpful as I stumbled around trying to figure out recipes, but maybe that’s just me. Good job!
Yeah the game is called Alchemist. I loved that game and I thought what if you had to make certain things in a time frame. Yes I heard it was hard, unfortunately I was unable to create a recipe page in time for discovered stuff. Also did all my own art so couldn't add more stuff since I'm not an artist. I am debating working on it more to make the version I wanted to make.
I really had no clue how to get woods :X But fun little thing in the first glance I thought it was just another clone of the whole alchimist games out there. But the hook that you have to build somethign specific is cool though.
Tree and tools for wood. I think I feel into the trap of thinking it was easy for me si others would get it. Glad you got some enjoyment out of it
very fun game, I like being the worst alchemist on itch :D
Really nice game.
I really loved the concept and the sound is great.
Took me a-lot of failed attempts to get a grip of the crafting system but its a super fun mechanic that is very satisfying when you make a reciepe! Plent of aha moments, well done :)

Yeah this was fun. Ended up making spices. Managed to get a sapling at one point, but don't ask me how! I got so confused, ended up making a spreadsheet to try and track recipies.. got more confused. Good premise, nicely executed! I'd like to be able to buy recipies, or perhaps the hints could spell things out a little clearer for newbies. Well done!
This was a really fun game, I had a lot of trouble getting some materials, but others I sorta figured out and never got back to. The overall setup was really fun to play with. I kept giving people spices, they didnt like that at all
I really enjoyed this game! I loved the crafting system. Some of the recipes were not intuitive to me (beach + earth = sand). But, overall a solid execution. I could see this being a mini crafting game mechanic in another game.
Nice work!
Very fun idea, I enjoyed it very much. Im a beach alchemist.
this is a solid game, much enjoyed will play more
The version out now should be a lot better and is what I would call the 1.0 version.
