Little Alchemy
There is a special kind of magic in taking two ordinary things and watching them turn into something completely new. Little Alchemy gives you a blank workspace and four simple ingredients: earth, fire, water, and air. By dragging them onto each other, you slowly build a massive encyclopedia of over 500 different items. Mix water and fire to get steam, combine earth and fire to forge lava, and keep experimenting until you’re somehow creating astronauts, unicorns, and entire galaxies.
The pace is entirely up to you, with no timers, no fail states, and no pressure. It works brilliantly as a background game you can return to whenever you have a few free minutes. Every time you unlock a tricky new combination, you get a rush of satisfaction that makes you want to find just one more.
Controls
Little Alchemy is completely driven by your mouse or touchscreen. Just click and drag an element from the right-hand menu onto the workspace. To combine two elements, drag one directly on top of the other. If you want to clean up your workspace, drag items to the recycling bin icon in the bottom corner.
Tips for Discovering New Items
- Think logically: Most combinations make real-world sense. How do you make mud? Water and earth. What do you need to make a brick? Mud and fire.
- Duplicate elements: Don’t forget that you can combine an element with itself. Two puddles make a pond, two bricks make a wall.
- Use the “Clean Up” button: When your workspace gets too cluttered, use the broom icon to instantly tidy things up.
- Check your progress: You can see how many items you’ve unlocked out of the total at the bottom of the screen.
