Little Alchemy 2
- ohazi 7y agoFor those who aren't familiar with the original one: https://littlealchemy.com/ https://littlealchemy.com/ I think the animated overlay when you create a new thing lasts a little bit too long in the new one. An animation might be cute, but it would be better if it didn't immediately prevent me from continuing to interact with my pile of stuff...
- llacb47 7y agoYep. The animations should be shorter IMO.
- blondin 7y agocould it be because of you all's browsers? i am using Chrome on a Mac and i just played both games. no problem at all on my side with the animations.
- RzeroD 7y agoSo we have around 150 new recipes in the new version... I don't know if I will remember them all. Time to squeeze my brain :)
- soul4krsna 7y agoImpatient much? Instant gratification society is getting worse....sheesh
- maroonblazer 7y agoClicking/tapping on the animation closes it.
- sago 7y agoNot to disagree (this is the second Little Alchemy after all) just to add a more original original: Christian Steinruecken's DOS game "Alchemy" from 1997. Which also inspired a mobile "Alchemy" from 2010 and the incredibly popular "Doodle God" and "Little Alchemy". But kudos to Christian for the original game (or at least, the first one I have come across).
- ilovepeppapig 7y agoThanks. Really fun to play
- magoon 7y agoYou’ll be delighted with the elements you can mix to make new elements. I love this game, and the original. To start, Try mixing air with earth, then add fire to the result.
- lovebes 7y agowhat's the tech stack behind this?

- rgovostes 7y agoLittle Inferno HD by Experimental Gameplay Group is an iOS game with a similar concept. The developer also has a clever dystopian game based on writing assembly.
- whateveracct 7y agoLittle Inferno is by the Tomorrow Corporation ("World of Goo"). The dev you mention seems to have done the iOS port.

- ehsankia 7y agoYep, great game that's available on all sorts of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.
- hcs 7y agoThe assembly game in question (by Tomorrow Corporation) is Human Resource Machine, and there's a parallel version out recently called 7 Billion Humans.
- dane-pgp 7y agoI like to think of this as basically 1-dimensional Minecraft. (Imagine an infinitely long tape, which you can write symbols to, and if two symbols next to each other can be combined, then the game automatically merges them, and allows you to put the resulting symbol in your "inventory").
- LordDragonfang 7y ago>Imagine an infinitely long tape Only on HN would you see something like this described like a mathematical Turing machine.
- misspellted 7y agoPossible bug: I discovered steam as a by-product of discovering something else. As I went on to discover other combinations, I ran across other discoveries already, and the UI shook the material I dropped on a previously placed/created material when both materials would create what I already had in inventory. When I created steam as a by-product, the steam "shake" wasn't in place when I went to create steam with the basic elements.
- redfast00 7y agoI reverse engineered a bunch of 'element alchemy games' (games where you combine elements into new elements), extracted the recipes and wrote a tool to interact with them. See https://github.com/redfast00/element-alchemy-cheater https://github.com/redfast00/element-alchemy-cheater
- rafaele 7y agoThere appears to be a source file at https://littlealchemy2.com/js/chunk-vendors.1828b6b5.js https://littlealchemy2.com/js/chunk-vendors.1828b6b5.js with answers under the key: "2e77". I'm bored on a Saturday, might try this out =)

- redfast00 7y agoI'd really like a PR if you want to contribute
- sdan 7y agoNice. Nostalgia of playing this in elementary/middle school is great.
- ehsankia 7y agoStarted playing this with my laptops touch screen and it worked mostly well, but I couldn't scroll the element list. If they fixed that small bug, this would make for a great touch game!
- davidbanham 7y agoWorks as expected on an iPad. Might be a browser inconsistency.
- annoyingnoob 7y agoLots of fun. My 9yr old daughter loves it!
- annoyingnoob 7y agoNow all of my kids are super into it. 5yr, 8yr, 9yr. They are playing on 3 different devices and discussing everything. Fun and happy interactions between the kids - priceless.
- AlchemistCamp 7y agoThis thing needs some keyboard controls. Clicking hundreds of times is a recipe for repetitive stress injuries.
