Alchademy 4+

I used to be addicted to this game when I first downloaded it, because it's cute, I really enjoy the art style both it and Chichens share. After a while, the buzz has sorta worn off, but I still love the game. So, I've not been playing as frequently recently, even with notifications turned on. But today, I must've not played for a few weeks, and it gave me a notification that said: "The Alchademy will be closing soon. Claim your mixture before your alchemist goes on break." Which had me VERY WORRIED. Usually the notifications are very upbeat and use lots of exclamations points, but this notification seemed to sound out of character to me.. The first thing my mind jumped to, I thought maybe they were closing/deleting the game! Which now sounds a bit silly, but it's what I thought at the time. So, I scoured Hyperbeard's twitter feed to see if I could find something to explain if I were just being dramatic or not. I looked at their instagram. Both turned up blank. Then I thought that maybe there would be something about it on the appstore. It seemed a bit farfetched, but maybe they could've left an update in the description that said they would no longer be working on the game, or something to that effect. Also, nothing. So there I am, reading the comments, and I realize there's only one. So, I decide to record my journey here. Au Revoir~

I’m not sure how long exactly I’ve had this game installed, I know it’s been a while however. It’s one I always find myself coming back to every once in a while to play and find more combinations. I’ve taken my time as there is no new content I suppose.

Anyways, I love this game. I love the creations and ingredients, I love the colors and the art style. It is by far one of my favorite looking games out there. The game play is simple and easy to come and go from so that I’m not rushing through to the end.

I’d love so much to see a resurgence in this game’s popularity and new content, but that being said thank you to the team who maintains it and keeps it playable. You don’t know how much that means to me. 🙏🏻

The game is great and I appreciate all the cute customizations you can get such as Alchemists and Cauldrons. I love the art style and animations however the one downside is that every time you open the application you have to skip that starting cutscene. This isn’t too much trouble but it would be nice to see it play as an idle animation or be something in the setting you can watch. Another thing that isn’t unbearable but is still discouraging is the amount of time it takes to reveal failed mixtures and all mixtures in general. Every time it makes you wait a few seconds and then shows it failed or after the crafting time it will pull out your creation. The animation It plays is flash and shows off the creation, I do think it was nice the first few times but it got tiring quite quickly. I would prefer a quick animation that adds it to the ingredients/creations tab which would be much more fluid and take a lot less time. Plus you could get the display show in the book if you so choose. Other than that the game is really simple and cute. It requires some brain power but not much and gives you the least amount of info possible to still make it fun and thought provoking. I would recommend this game to essentially everyone, it’s fun for all ages.
