Little Alchemy Transmutes a Big Update

The cult browser game Little Alchemy is in for a major rehash from Polish creator Jakub Koziol.

is in for a major rehash from Polish creator Jakub Koziol. The game about mixing elements to form more interesting new ones is arriving today in rehashed form for iOS, Android, and the web.

In Little Alchemy , you start out with the four basic elements; earth, wind, water, and fire. You can begin mixing them making new ones, and in turn opening up more permutations and possibilities. Water and fire make steam, which is then mixed to create geyser. Earth and air make dust, which mixed with fire creates gunpowder, and so on, until around 500 combinations are solved.

Koziol’s been working on the game ever since starting it as a little experiment in 2010. As the web browser version gained traction, in 2012 he released an update for the web along with mobile counterparts for iOS and Android. This newly-minted alchemy tool box has prettier icons, cross-platform gameplay, progress sync across devices, and upcoming support updates.

The web version of the game can be enjoyed here. Otherwise, you can take it with you in your pocket for free from the iTunes Storeor Google Play.

Little Alchemy is also bubbling on Steam Greenlight, where you can vote for its distribution. Koziol wants to make the Steam release even more complete, with sound, music, hidden Easter eggs, and controller support, alongside a release on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
