It was a beautiful, clear night… until suddenly the stars disappeared. Now the Magic Alchemist and his little cat Precious are facing their greatest challenge yet: Can he make the sky shine again and bring back all constellations? For that, you’ll need a bit of magic — and above all, a clever mind. In Magic Alchemist Shuffle, a starless sky awaits you, ready to be filled again with all 88 constellations. But to do that, you’ll need the essence of many magical Imago. - Move the tiles to match three of the same and collect their essence. - Fill the magic vessels with the Imago’s essence. - Use lots of power-ups like exploding fireballs, mysterious water, or colorful butterflies to reach your goal. - Thieving fairies, magical locks, rotating vortices, and sparkling diamonds can really throw your strategy off. - Over 1600 levels with more than 800 stars, plus all 88 known constellations (+ 2 extra constellations), are waiting to shine in the sky again. - The first 32 constellations (over 600 levels) are completely free and guarantee weeks of fun. - Enjoy your very own night sky: For every completed constellation, you can display its Latin and German name as well as the connecting lines. - Meet a little cat with a poetic talent — who unfortunately has a few bad habits too.
