Alxemy
Playing God has a bit of a poor reputation: the kind of reputation that leads to torch and pitchfork wielding villagers smoking you out of a burning windmill. However, Alxemy, the new Doodle God-esque puzzler by Hyptod, reminds us that sometimes combining elements to make new life feels more like toying with a new Lego set, rather than a crime against nature.

I have a bad feeling you should support there activity to win 100%
PS: The fact that the comment section vanishes while I'm writing is annoying

it's a nice game, but it does feel like it's ripping off Doodle God... however, the combinations aren't exactly the same, which I like. i.e. fire+water=alcohol in Doodle God, but in Alxemy, fire+water=steam (which makes a bit more sense to me.) it also has more charm, and seems geared for younger kids. I enjoy it, but I think Doodle God is more fun (and it's organized better.)
Did this game just require me to post about it in facebook to advance in the game?
Seriously.... Get a grip dear game designers. Social Media is all cool, but having to do as intergral of a game (that is not 4square or so) ...
Okay I know, you just have to follow the link, as yet they cannot check if you really followed em or posted about em, but I still see it as quite unethical business practice.
Otherwise yes, this game is better than doodle god.
Personally I keep imagening a game called "Open Alchemy" or so, that allows players to add new combos and elements. Too bad I dont find the time/energy to code it. When I'm retired I'll do it =)
Loved the game. Even if it is largely influenced by Doodle God, and it is a bit better, Alxemy stands out as individual work.
Now, if those two could be... well... combined into something new; if doodle god had simillar quick hint feature (although not so blatantly easy) and great epic scene of all things discovered, there would be truly a fantastic game. Hope there would be more of this kind of games!
Effectively blackmailing me to advertise the game so I can play it properly... inexcusable.
One reason I avoid Facebook games is the fact they often make drafting additional players mandatory, and it always feels dirty to me, like I am unwillingly participating in a pyramid scheme scam. If I choose to get involved in a social activity with other people, than that choice should be mine, not forced upon me by a game. If the game wants me to get my friends to play it, then it should offer some ways so we can play it together, not bully me just so I can keep playing.
So yes.. 1 mushroom for this game. So, so BM.
You don't need to go on facebook to play the game, but as far as I can tell you DO need to go on facebook--and even make a post about the game--in order to COMPLETE it by getting
the paint and the pouch, for instance.
I hate it when games do that, and agree with baba44713 and fuzzyface. In order to have the satisfaction of completing the game, you are manipulated into doing viral marketing for them. Naturally companies want to spread the word about their game, but the downside is that many players will be annoyed and alienated. Do they consider that a worthwhile tradeoff? It makes me feel like they care more about getting as many hits as possible than they do about making an enjoyable game. (What, the icons and links for facebook, digg, etc. both in and outside of the game aren't enough?)
Once I realized I could not go further in the game, I quit, as I do when other games prompt me to make inane posts on my personal facebook page in order to continue.
Enjoyed the game otherwise, too bad.You don't need to go on facebook to play the game, but as far as I can tell you DO need to go on facebook--and even make a post about the game--in order to COMPLETE it by getting

[Incorrect. You only have to click the link it provides for Facebook to complete the task. We confirmed this during our evaluation phase and prior to publishing the review. -Jay]
I wish there was a button that would make the girl say the next hint, I probably wouldn't have needed the walkthrough if I didn't get tired of waiting for her to finish congratulating me. That, and I never got virus because it never occurred to me that I could combine two of the same thing, as I don't think I ever had to do that for the rest of the game.
I agree that alternate solutions would be delightful, and that it was somewhat of an inconvenience scrolling up and down the lists when they became lengthy. However, I didn't have any problem putting away elements. This was a nice little game, though I found the world's contrasting art styles (vectors vs paintings) slightly off-putting.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for the walktrough, it really helped me on the red fox and the kangaroo.
I played the game on a dutch site. You didn't have to go on face book in order to complete the game there (you get the wheel after you discovered 25 elements, the paint after 50, and the poutch after 75). I really liked it.
