There is a few things that I would suggest tweaking! I wish when you had less time on the timer the “price” of coins would go down too. Not stay at 200 coins.. I also wish there was more bubbles with coins and especially the purple triangles! I wanna unlock more alchemists and cauldrons but the purple triangle coin things are so tedious to get in the game without spending money.. you don’t receive very many in the “daily rewards”. I really don’t mind the amount of adds in the game. Not terrible tbh. Love the game overall just a few tweaks! <3 Much love from Canada! 🇨🇦 ### 4/5 — Amazing *2025-05-21, version 3.38* I love this game! The ingredients are so cute, I love the vibe, and the alchemists are amazing! But, can you make the price of an alchemist lower? Right now it’s 20 purple gems, and it would be better if it could be 5! Or at least lower! Other than that, this game is adorable and pretty addictive. I love it!!! ### 4/5 — Amazing but... *2025-04-30, version 3.37* It is amazing like awesome but it takes forever to make some mixtures when you do not have the points. Oh and I have all of your games that work on my tablet ### 2/5 — No gameplay *2025-02-28, version 3.37* I like the cute art style and theme, but all you do is tap on to things than wait an absurd amount of time just to do it again. ### 3/5 — Love it but… *2024-12-02, version 3.37* This game is awesome. Honestly really enjoy it. The artwork is beautiful and the creations, are SO cute. BUUUT…there’s only 6 little books to fill up and once those are done that’s it. I mean you can get different cauldrons and alchemists and stuff but they don’t unlock any other books or anything which is LAME! Boooo. I need more! Js. ### 3/5 — barely gameplay :( *2024-11-08* I will say that this game has such cool artstyle and the concept is pretty good, but it would have actual gameplay. Like i get it its fun to mix together other items but its already popular concept in most games. maybe it would be better if ypu can do other things that are similar? also i realized the more times you mix together other things, it takes longer, longer to the point where it takes an hour just to get one item…ONE!! and the only “fun” thing you get to do meanwhile is just pop the bubbles that have coins inside of them. maybe if there were minigames you can do while waiting and cut the wait time, this could be an amazing and fun game! ### 3/5 — Long wait time *2024-10-31, version 3.37* Super cute game with magical graphics that I would probably spend more time on except for the wait time on creations. If it was only a couple minutes I’d be more inclined to wait around so I can keep playing. But I do one mixture and it’s 30-60 minutes before I can do anything else. ### 4/5 — I love Hyper beard! *2024-08-09, version 3.36* I’m a kid and I have other games by Hyper beard and there amazing and really fun. I think this game is really creative. I love the theme of the game so much but what annoys me is that sometimes it takes a little while for the potions to brew. Not many ads ,which I love. Also I love the graphics and I would recommend checking out Pocket love or Hamster inn ### 4/5 — THIS GAME IS GOOD BUT YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH ADS OR WAIT A VERY LONG TIME *2024-04-01, version 3.36* I understand they want to make some money off the game that’s just how capitalism is but they should at least update their game if they make it such a long time to get any new creations or ingredients (you have to watch two ads for the amount of gold to skip the time) but each book has more creations and ingredients so there’s more timers and more ads so at least update the game sometimes if there’s ads making you money :) ### 5/5 — The game froze. *2023-12-24, version 3.35.5* I was playing the game when it began I got from the beginning of the game and it froze. ### 5/5 — Love hyperbeards games *2023-12-19* I love kleptocats ; one of the first games I played from ur company! I love Alchademy a lot, the bunnybuns game not much it was fun at first tho. Ultimately I enjoy hyperbeards games ### 5/5 — Still here, still playing. 🖤🖤 *2023-09-06* I’m not sure how long exactly I’ve had this game installed, I know it’s been a while however. It’s one I always find myself coming back to every once in a while to play and find more combinations. I’ve taken my time as there is no new content I suppose. Anyways, I love this game. I love the creations and ingredients, I love the colors and the art style. It is by far one of my favorite looking games out there. The game play is simple and easy to come and go from so that I’m not rushing through to the end. I’d love so much to see a resurgence in this game’s popularity and new content, but that being said thank you to the team who maintains it and keeps it playable. You don’t know how much that means to me. 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Just finished collecting everything! *2023-08-06, version 3.35.3* It took me a year and three months but I finally earned enough gems to buy every cauldron and alchemist! I finished getting every combination in all the books probably closer to the 1 year mark but I’m not sure. Overall pretty good game! A good thing to go onto when you have no access to internet and just need something to do to look like you’re busy so nobody talks to you lol. ### 5/5 — So much fun!! *2023-07-20, version 3.35.3* Dude this game is absolutely one of my favorites it’s so exciting, and just oh gosh I love it so much. You don’t have to put in a debit card nor buy anything (you can if you want to ) but they have so many amazing free options 10/10 ### 4/5 — Really good! *2023-07-17, version 3.35.3* I actually really love this game but could you please make it so it’s easier to get coins and make the timers shorter? Ty for reading! ### 5/5 — Very cool game 👌 *2023-07-10, version 3.35.3* It’s great! It’s fun discovering all the ingredients and creations, however my only complaint is that wait times get way too excessively long way too early on in the game. Overall though, it’s an awesome experience. ### 5/5 — 🤍🩷 *2023-07-02, version 3.35.3* If I’m being honest rn I’m will go mad if I end up deleting this game, like I will actually breakdown in TEARS if this gets deleted of my phone 🥲😭 ### 5/5 — Gghh *2023-05-31, version 3.35.3* Ruudufjfjfjfjhfjrjrjr ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App broken *2024-05-15, version 3.36* App is no longer supported After an update the timer was frozen for a long period and then all progress in the game is lost Unacceptable for a game that charges money ### 1/5 — The best game *2023-07-25, version 3.35.3* I love this game and blearily eney adds ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-05-12, version 3.35.3* This “game” is a money grab, you literally wait for a 45+ second timer to run out, or pay real money to make it go faster. There isn’t even any gameplay ### 1/5 — weird bug *2022-10-08, version 3.34.2* sooooo... i got the game and started opening it, but as soon as it got past the opening cutscene it froze. just frozen screen. i tried closing and opening it again. and again, and again and again. each time it froze, and i had to watch the cutscene every time. i dont know why, but i was so excited to play because of the reviews, and im really upset that it didn't work. so, because the app was kinda useless(and i LOVE hyperbeards games, so nothing against you all) i am gonna give this a 1 star. ### 1/5 — Please let people pay to remove ads *2022-03-04, version 3.34.2* The ads in this app (all of this developers apps actually) are absolutely obnoxious. The cuteness of this game is not worth the frequency of the ads or the fact that the ads have 3-4 parts that each need to be watched in full before they can be skipped. I am more than willing to pay for the app to remove them but this isn’t an option. Disappointed, uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Skinner Box to the MAX *2021-10-10* The art is only there because there’s no content otherwise. Try a combo and wait 30 minutes. There’s nothing else to do (except wait ads) and there’s no deeper complexity to it. The element with the most effort put towards it is the ad integration/exploitation of the user. We have: * random popup ad for no reward * a ghost that is very easy to accidentally click on that offers an ad for currency * bubbles that drift over the majority of the screen during wait times which either have free currency or very easy to accidentally click on ads for currency * a popup that takes up a third of screen offering a time-skip if you sit through an ad * harass your friends in exchange for currency every time you hit a milestone * pay real money for currency, or * visit a number of extremely sketchy sites and give your personal information in exchange for currency. I hope the digital ad market crashes and games like this get gutted. Consumer acclimation to this level of exploitation— especially from an EXTREMELY young age based off all the “family-friendly” aesthetics and uncritical reviews— is a massive mistake and we may never know the extent of the damage. Do not play this game. Do not play any games like this. ### 1/5 — Meh *2021-08-30, version 3.34.2* Meh every time I do a spell it’s just a rock. Never get it it’s sooooo terrible I hate it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much ### 1/5 — Disgusting. *2021-07-27, version 3.34.2* Has a mechanic that you quickly pop bubbles, but there is a chance that one has an ad you can’t close. Also very boring and not much to it. There are better version of this kind of game that don’t waste your time! ### 1/5 — Meh *2021-07-07, version 3.34.2* The game is really cute, but the sole purpose of the game is to mix ingredients to create things. But when each mixture you do time gets added on, the game gets really boring, really quickly. I haven’t played the game too much and have to wait 40+ minutes already. I understand a timer but a minute or two is long enough, it shouldn’t be getting extremely high extremely fast, 40 minutes is pointless and there’s nothing to do in that time other than walk away and find a different app. ### 1/5 — FORCED to watch ads *2018-12-22, version 3.1* This is a cute game, and the puzzle aspect is engaging. The reason I only gave it 1 star is because it forces you to watch ads, which I very much hate! Yes it gives you coins whenever you watch an ad, whether you chose to or not, but I still find it extremely annoying. It is particularly vexing because sometimes the ads are up to 30 seconds long, and the only way to stop the ad is to completely close the app. If I want to watch an ad for in game currency, then I will watch an ad. However, being forced to watch ads does nothing but annoy me, so I will be deleting this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — favorite game *2025-06-12, version 3.38* i love this it’s so relaxing, the characters are cute and while they mix it gives me an opportunity to do some self care and not waste the day away playing video games! ### 5/5 — This game is awesome *2024-09-27, version 3.36* Literally love this game hopefully they make more books soon I just started on my last book and want more to come out in the next update ### 5/5 — Love this game so much, the customization is crazy. *2024-07-09, version 3.36* I love the different books, and I love the customization its huge. From pots to characters. This game is awesome ### 5/5 —
