Alchemy 1000

OMG! TAKE OFF THE 10 SECOND WINDOW SHOWING THE COMBINATION you just achieved. 10 SECONDS. Anytime you change screens yep 10 SEcONDS. 10 SECONDS TO tell you what button you just pushed, 10 SECONDS TO PICK YOUR NOSE. It doesn't let you tap the screen to make it disappear. 😱 😉 Other than that 10 second issue, I really like the app. 5 stars as soon as I can use it

So I installed this and right off the bat I was combining a whole bunch of stuff, enjoying myself. For about one minute. I found out that the game is completely broken, to the point where you can't even combine some elements, even when you're supposed to. For example: there's a feature called the "hint zone" where you drop as many elements as you like into it. If you then tap "hint" in the menu, it tells you how many elements can be created from those elements. I dropped just two elements, which were wind and air, and it said I could make 1 element with the elements that were in the hint zone. So I tried dragging and dropping one onto the other multiple times before giving up. So my conclusion? It's a good game. IF IT BLOODY WELL WORKED THE DEVELEPORS AREN'T EVEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE REVIEWS

It's kind of enjoyable but gets boring. A lot of the item combinations don't make sense so it takes a long time to find new elements. The illustrations are random clip art so sometimes I feel like I'm looking at Google images instead of playing a game. This game would be much better if it had a consistent art style. I also wish I could change the background Overall confusing and kind of boring. There is potential for a good game here, but the dev was more focused on quantity instead of quality.

I've played a lot of the old alchemy, which doesn't seem to exist anymore, thus I'm searching for an alternative. I downloaded this app as 1000 objects sounds interesting and I enjoyed the first hour or so. At some point, I figured out solutions, that make no sense to me. Reading through the reviews, I don't seem to be the only one with that opinion. Additionly, deleting elements is a pain. With drag and drop. It's nice to have the rearrange though. Too bad I lost interest so fast.

I have downloaded and played this game multiple times, but now that there are a thousand elements, it's insane! Looking forward to the challenge, but I really wish that once you've exhausted all potential creations from an element, that the element would turn a different color so you're not wasting time with it anymore. Hours of entertainment!

I've been playing it for a few days. At first I thought it was just a little clunky. Now that I'm further into it, I have to say it's just bad. The interface is, indeed, buggy and painful to use -- but once you look past that, you also find that the actual puzzles are pretty bad as well. Some seem to rely on how terms work on Russian (solar cells are sun + battery, which is the the Russian term for it). Others are just stupid. Wheel is tree plus iron. Wine glass is light+glass.

Good, but with issues. Touch detection is awful. if you place an element on top of another, it is placed *behind* the element. Toasts are displayed everytime you view list of "discovered elements" and list of "possible ements". This gets annoying QUICKLY. They are in a large font and takes up most of the screen. Long press on elements doesnt display formula as in most other alchemy games. (including the iOS version of the same app)

Truly disappointing. I love the Alchemy and was excited to play this version with 1,000 elements, but the controls are horrible. You create new elements by dragging one on top of another, but this causes the element you were using to get stuck behind the one you dropped it onto, so you have to reorganize the board every time you encounter an unsuccessful combination. So frustrating that it renders the game completely unplayable.

No longer works. I've played this games several times before and always enjoyed it, but never completed it. This time round, combinations I KNOW worked in the past don't work any more. I'm at 48 elements, and if I add all 41 active elements to the hint zone and ask for a hint, it tells me I can't make any new combinations with the selected elements. Clearly needs some fixing, but not sure why when it wasn't broken before?

Meh, the interface is unworkable as it's impossible to scroll and there are only so many elements you can practically manage on one screen. The elements behaviour when moved seems to be unpredictable: sometimes you can carry on moving the same element, sometimes it will pick up the one underneath. It has an ad bar at the bottom plus interspersed occasional ads, which I wouldn't mind if the game actually worked better. Altogether, it's a bit of a frustrating experience. Uninstalled...

The interface is clumsy. You can combine elements & grab the bottom one when trying to drag it away. You accidentally duplicate elements just by grabbing an element to move it. This isn't a problem I have anywhere else on my phone, only on this app.

Overall, a decent game. The combinations don't always make the most sense. It would be really nice if an element would stop being listed as "active" once you had made all possible combinations with it. Change that and it's worth an extra star in rating, for sure.

Maybe a translation issue but the combinations often make no sense. The whole point of alchemy is to figure out connections. So many elements combos are simply random. The hint zone is a fun mechanic, but becomes a drag and see when the logic is missing.

This is the best element game on here, I've been playing it for years. Unfortunately, you can no longer buy hints or remove ads. In an email, they told me it was on their list to update, but since it's been 4 years, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

The combinations make no sense after about 100. I just started randomly combining elements that seemingly had no relation and voila they would combine. Frustrating and boring. Moving on to another alchemy game that has some logic involved.

I like the concept of the game. It makes you think a little. My brother has it on his iPhone and I must say the play area for the iPhone is much smoother. iPhone users are able to scroll through the hint zone where I am not. If this feature is updated I'll give a 5 star review

Unplayable... elements will not combine after less than 1 minute of play every time I open the app. Great concept. I would love to be able to play it

Ad bar at the bottom of the screen severely restricts gameplay. Used to be an enjoyable game, not so much now.

There really needs to be a reset all elements feature for replayability. I've completed almost all merges and even reinstalling game doesn't reset elements. Please fix.

Says 1000 but in reality its only 997. I finally got frustrated enough to look up the missing ones online. The 3 I'm missing won't even combine in this app. At a loss as to how to beat it if the last 3 cannot be made.

This game is amazing. I played with the whole family and we helped each other progress. This game is suitable for any age and is very enjoyable. 10 stars

Good but the "cheat" option doesn't tell you how to make something, it only adds it to the list and says "cheated". Would be better if it told you HOW to make it rather than doing it. I unistalled and started again to find out how. Very annoying.

Absolutely love the creativity. some combinations are far fetched but you can usually deduce why they create what they created. Even if it's an Easter egg!

this did used to be titled "alchemy" right? i was excited to see this app get updated to be used with more recent phones but im disappointed to see the art and recipe change, as now most of the recipes seem pretty nonsensical to me

Hard to dump items. Controls are a little buggy. Doesnt play as smoothly as other alchemy games.

I paid for 30 cheats just to remove the ads and the ads are still there... Not a good look for you guys and I would appreciate a response as to why this happened.

It was good but you have to keep tapping which elements you want to have on the main screen, and then after you use them you have to repeat the process to get them there again.

This app doesn't work work properly on my Samsung A40. Some of the most obvious combinations don't have a result. Please fix this! I know this is a gem of a game, and I'd love to play it again.

This game is challenging. Some of the combinations are straightforward, but some are hard! I like it.

My wife has ios and I Android she cannot see final versions indicated by asterisks on her version. And I cannot scroll down on my elements page when she can. It's to hard after you have 100 elements as you can't see below a certain point. Please allow me to scroll and her to see finals so I don't keep having to tell her
