Alchemic Phone-Pocket Alchemy – Education Game Review
Alchemic Phone-Pocket Alchemy is a Education/Puzzle/Board game from Andrea Sabbatini, first launched in 10th June 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 235+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Alchemic Phone-Pocket Alchemy Stand Out
Are you a good Alchemist ?
You are tasked with rebuilding the universe, bit by bit, or rather Element by Element. Starting with just 6 Elements (no, not just 4) and combining them using your skills, wits and knowledge, you will unlock 1700 more and 26 Realms.
Do you think you can you discover: Atomic Energy, Zeppelin, Chuck Norris, Atlantis or even ‘Angry Birds’ ?
Similar games include Doodle God, but please note that this is brand new, built from scratch, taking the concept directly from the old 80s ‘Alchemy’ and reinventing it in the process.
IT’S HUGE !
The game includes 1700 discoverable Elements, but grows with updates and your suggestions. In fact if you have an idea for a combination or feel that two elements should react, the game provides a direct link for the suggestion.
UNLOCK REALMS:
As you progress, you will find new Elements which will unlock more Realms
SCORING AND TARGETS:
Gamecenter scoring is included (but you can also have fun without it), giving big rewards for target key Elements or unlocking new Realms. You also get a Target Element of the Day !
GAMECENTER ACHIEVEMENTS:
Plenty of achievements, reach as high as becoming Cagliostro or Paracelsus
HINTS:
Finding some key elements can be a (reasonable) challenge but it wouldn’t be fun otherwise. A multiple hint functionality that doesn’t spoil too much of the research process is available.
WORLD STATUS:
Shows Realms. By tapping on an element tile you can see the reactions where it took part.
WIKIPEDIA:
Helpful and interesting, you can access an Element page by tapping on its name.
Get exploring !
This Education game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Hi! So, we wanted to start off by saying Ive always loved this game. However, it still has a lot of potential. While we may have games like Infinite Craft now, we do believe it would be cool to update this game again to address some minor bugs and make it more compatible with future iOS versions. Perhaps we can even add some more elements based on new findings.
Awesome game, tons of possibilities, great concept, and challenging (to those of us who aren't chemistry majors). One problem–when we got to 4.%, the screen turned white–blank, actually–and we couldn't continue playing w/o uninstalling and reinstalling. Lost all of our progress, and had to start from giddy-up. Any others w this issue? Edit: There seems to have been a fix, as Im not having the same problems. We love this game.
We looovvee this game so much Items.
We really like this game but there is something we would like to see in the future, we would like a custom item button, basically a custom thing you can make, and you can save it and make more! Thats all we want in the game, otherwise its amazing.
These are truly ingenious puzzles that will keep you engaged for hours of fun.
This game is the ONLY game, Ive had for years. Ive been through a few phones and Ive kept this game. We refuse to delete it. Its addictive and Ive had it omg, over 5 years and we still havent finished. Lol. Im glad it still here and we had stopped playing it for a while and just picked by up and. We love it.
Hey! We dont know if you even pay attention to this app anymore, but if you do, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS! It has so much potential. Also, Ive sent a whole lot of requests and suggestions but they never get approved. Please, update the game.
We would like to see a iPad version of the game also if not possible to Mae an iPad specific version then make an iPadOS/iOS 15 version of the game it would run much better and faster and use more updated iPhones and iPads so it can take the of the hardware so it can be more fun and future updates poof.
Please up the wonderful application. Please including general bug fixes and optimizations to the code also update the code to align with the newer iOS/ iPadOS if possible optimize the game code to perform good and for iOS/ iPadOS.
Its the best alchemy game Ive found, but its very out of date. Theres also some obvious reactions that are missing (like wind+ revolution = tornado, which isnt an element).
This app is well made and generally fun. But we felt the combinations were really inconsistent. While one would be based on scientific concepts, another would just be a pun, then yet another would be based on inaccurate scientific concepts. So there's no consistent logic to how you should combine things. It does have a neat feature where you can suggestion things for pairings that don't combine. So that was cool. All in all we thought it was kinda of fun but mostly frustrating.
While we are playing the game sometimes freezes and we lose an element that we just made sometimes too.
We enjoy this game a lot. It reminds of the original Alchemy game that came out years ago but better. Its hard to put down seeing how we want to continue mixing and creating new elements.
We love we just cant stop playing.
Love the layout and that you can suggest new combos.
Though graphically the most simplistic, this is the most comprehensive alchemy game out there. Tons of combinations, and best of all multiple ways to get certain elements.
We love this game especially now that theyve updated it we remember you had to combine several elements to create this game you only need two. And this goes almost triple of what you can create. We could play a lifetime and not find them all but Im going to love trying.
L-O-V-E IT. Wish other app was free.
Just started playing but we love this game. Two suggestions: one is to have the ability to hide elements that cannot be used and two is every time you create an element it kicks you out of the merge window. So if you are combining different elements with, lets say fire, you have choose fire from the main screen and choose it again in the merge window.
Our son knows that with our ADHD we have to keep ourselves busy otherwise we go nuts. We work at home and when its slow this is the best way to keep our mind busy Thank you so much! We love it that youre not interrupted constantly with ads are asking to buy extra lives and what not Its a great game and we cant wait to see the others that youve made Andrea. Thank you so much.
We hope there are more awesome updates.
This game reminds us of school.
We love this game but it does has a slight bug. If you try to suggest an reaction after you try combining two wrong elements you get kicked out of the game right after pressing submit. So you dont know if it went through or if you just made an extra error to suggest something just to get kicked out.
We love this game. It can be a bit confusing at times with how many elements there are, but we think thats part of the games charm. It feels like actual love and effort was put into this game, and it really shows.
Enjoy playing with our kids we drive they ask what if we try this . Good game get kids to thinking about how things are made. Must have we enjoy playing waiting to see dr and keep your older brains thinking.
If you mix logical guessing and genesis you've got alchemy.
We loved this game ever since we bought it. Can't wait for new elements.
Our 7 year old saw us playing this and hes now we are creating together.
This is just a hilarious entertaining game to play when you're bored.
Omg we just got this and we're so excited to find out the new elements! We were about to use cheats but then we were like nope! When we find a new element we get so excited if you don't have this then get it now especially if you miss alchemy (the game one) This game deserves this big review we're like hey hey we think this will be plants and when we found the LAST element we were like deep purple should make black because that are colors we have seen NEW words in this game that even our grandmas did not know! It's really nice for maybe all ages and nerds really smart ones who know their alchemy This is a long review thanks for reading we may add more… Wow.
Some reactions arent updating the percentage when they are new. We like the game, but we dont like that.
Ran across this little gem while searching for a completely different game, and we are not at all disappointed with the outcome! We have been playing this game nonstop and we love it so much. 100% free and a little more than a thousand different combinations. Very in depth and entertaining. We highly recommend this game for everyone.
This app. Guys. Lemme tell you,,,, it's so great. Like omg, ok so our favorite part is the puns. Not actual puns, we guess, but some elements double as others. Like, when you create Prince the artist (rip), that same element doubles as Prince Charming. Apple the food is also Apple the company. Etc. It's great our dudes.
…Why you ask?!?!? Because we're addicted now.
We've played a lot of these type games and love them. The new mechanics are great. We think better icons would be a great addition though.
Had this game before, downloaded it again after remembering how much fun it was.
Easy to figure out and giggles along the way.
Great better than other alchemy games.
The animation and little celebration everytime you discover something makes this addictive. Love this game! Been playing it for years.
Here's one that you actually get to think about something to do the 'game'.
Inspires curiosity and creativity, not addicting, and easily passes the time.
Played similar game years ago but love the interface on this one. Keeps us coming back.
We have been playing this game for years. We download it. Delete cause we clean out our phone. And always redownload it. We love it.
Enjoying recreating the universe.
This game is so much fun! Very entertaining. So many combinations, never a boring second of our time. Finally a fun game that isn't mind dulling.
The game seems so simple at first, but it has a great sense of humor, and before you know it, you're thinking about it in the back of your mind all the time. It's brilliant.
Nothing stressful, just an enjoyable way to see the clever combinations and explore the world.
But this version has an easier layout than others. Will enjoy solving combinations for a while, we think.
Best game ever! Makes you think.
Oddly addicting! This is a fun and intriguing game.
