Played the android build on [this](https://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_tab_4_10_plus-8605.php), worked fine enough! Would have preferred portrait layout though, but implementing that is probably not the best use of valuable dev time 🤔
I think this combination of genres is anything but incompatible. Which is good! I've never really liked these recipe hunting games, but mixing in a physical grid structures the experience nicely. Especially reactions that change the board spice things up neatly!
One thing I direly missed is a list of all the combinations that player has found. Trying out new recipes seems to take ages, and anything that speeds up the process would be most welcome.
Amazing job! The combination of match mechanics with the mix-and-see-what-happens worked really well, with some cool details such as having certain tokens spread around the board when you managed to match a recipe.
The execution is also very solid, the music in particular had this relaxing vibe I really liked.
Although I've only played the web version, I can see it shining on mobile as a full game, it has a lot of potential. Congrats!
Nice take on alchemy, and altogether a good alchemy game. Looks good and feels polished. I think the controls can be improved, somehow I had trouble picking up pieces sometimes.
