### 5/5 — Very addictive

*2022-04-18, version 1.1.9*

Thank you so much for making this game. I have missed the old Popcap version of Alchemy and was hoping someone would write this for iOS. Well done 👍🏼. Please keep it alive with updates.

### 5/5 — Great! Just like that old Alchemy PC game

*2022-03-28, version 1.1.9*

I was searching for something like the old Alchemy computer game and this is basically just like it except for the different symbols! So glad I found this!

### 5/5 — PopCap’s Alchemy Reborn!!

*2021-10-29, version 1.1.9*

I never write reviews but I just had to say how happy I am with this game! I have been searching for YEARS to find a game like the old Alchemy from PopCap. At last, I have found it! This game is awesome! Thank you developers for making this game:-)

### 5/5 — So grateful to have this game back in my life!!!!

*2021-07-20, version 1.1.9*

Love this game!!! Have always loved this game! It’s like the old alchemy, all the nostalgia feels.

### 5/5 — Just like old school alchemy

*2021-03-24, version 1.1.5*

I’m so happy I found this game! It’s exactly like old school alchemy I used to play on yahoo games! Searching for how to play alchemy is actually how I found this game. Challenging, fun, and addictive. 

The only issue/change I have is I wish you could start at the furthest level you make it (for me 13), instead of having to start back at 10 each time. This game is so challenging on the higher levels (which I love) but it seems impossible to make it all the way from 10 to 15 without losing once to unlock the next level.

**Developer response:** I've added a new option to start from your top level. Please check the latest version. Thanks for the feedback.

### 1/5 — Quickly become too hard to complete

*2022-03-04*

By about level 7 the game starts to become nearly impossible to complete other than by random luck. This is a knock-off of the popcap original bit without any thought into how to make the game playable.

### 2/5 — Way too many ads

*2026-01-21, version 1.1.9*

Ok, but so many ads that I got annoyed and deleted it.

### 3/5 — Used to be better

*2025-01-16, version 1.1.9*

This is a great relaxing game and I used to really appreciate that the ads were both relevant and short. Lately they have been neither. Repetitive ads for other apps are already the worst and now I have to sometimes sit through 2 60-second ads before and after each round, which is more time watching ads than playing.

### 3/5 — Ads are super annoying

*2024-08-26, version 1.1.9*

I loved Popcap’s game, and this is a great remake of it - 5 stars for the game.

That said, all of the video ads between levels are really annoying - long, repetitive, and vapid.  😖

I’d happily pay for this game to get rid of the ads, but that doesn’t seem to be an option.  

3 stars for the overall experience of game play.

### 4/5 — Fun but…

*2026-03-06, version 1.1.9*

I really like this game, just wish it had some power up options for when you get stuck so I don’t have to throw the whole game away

### 4/5 — Remove Ads?

*2024-10-27, version 1.1.9*

I really liked this game and was ready to buy the Remove Ads in-app purchase but sadly I couldn’t find it… It appears to have been removed… …so I removed the app instead 😕

### 4/5 — Enjoying it a lot

*2023-07-28*

I had been looking for Popcap’s Alchemy game off and on for years. A few weeks ago I tripped over a thread (maybe on Reddit???) where this app was mentioned. It has filled the Alchemy void. Thank y’all. So I gave only four stars because I’ve been stuck on level 25 for a while. There are hardly any gray blocks or red Xs in the queue. I didn’t think much of it until the levels progressed in difficulty. That’s the only flaw: OG Alchemy included an occasional gray block and X where Signs gives two gray blocks at the beginning of this particular level and that’s it.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2022-11-08, version 1.1.9*

It’s a fave game of mine. Soothing and frustrating at the same time! 4 stars cos I’ve been stuck at the same level for 3 weeks 😅

### 5/5 — Lose the king game ad

*2025-07-12, version 1.1.9*

This game is awesome, so thankful to relive Alchemy. The ads are ridiculous. Theres one for a game that you can’t click out of for like two minutes. I would pay for this game, please consider that option.

### 5/5 — Obsessed.

*2024-11-10, version 1.1.9*

I was hooked on alchemy and now I’m hooked on Signs. Thank you! 

May I please request a left-handed option to put the trash bin on the left? Thanks again!

### 5/5 — You brought back Alchemy!

*2024-11-02, version 1.1.9*

Thank you!

### 5/5 — Alchemy

*2024-06-06, version 1.1.9*

This is great, just like the old alchemy game I use to play‼️

### 5/5 — Childhood Favourite

*2023-01-24*

I can’t believe I finally found this game again. I’ve been searching for years and finally came across a thread on Reddit talking about this app. Thank you developer! It’s been fun and challenging … not too hard and not too easy. Paid to get rid of the ads. Worth every penny. Only wish it was more visually pleasing like the original but I’m still beyond happy.

### 5/5 — Thank you for making this!

*2022-11-23, version 1.1.9*

I have missed playing the classic Alchemy game.  I know there’s only so much you can do with copyright issues.  Kind of miss the wizard still, but oh well.  Great game!

### 5/5 — Finally found something like Alchemy

*2022-09-27, version 1.1.9*

I’m so happy to find this game to satisfy my addiction to Popcap’s Alchemy from years ago!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2022-05-21, version 1.1.9*

I absolutely love this game! But I would love to see a few enhancements. A white background option would be great. I sometimes have trouble differentiating the rune colors. As another reviewer mentioned, the ability to replay your current level instead of getting set back to the beginning. Also would like to see one “undo”, or the ability to re-place the current rune. Still, it is a fun game that relies on both skill and luck.

### 5/5 — Yay

*2022-04-23*

Very happy that someone’s made an app version of this! I used to love playing the Popcap version on PC.

### 5/5 — Level23

*2022-04-18, version 1.1.9*

Love the game but I can’t get past this level.  Anyone get past level 23?
