Chemyst is a “mix-and-create”-style game where existing elements are mixed together to form new distinct elements. The difference is that here you can mix up to four elements, repeated or not, in a beaker at the bottom of the screen. If the items in the beaker react, you will see an explosion and new items will be formed! Start with mixtures of basic chemicals (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc.) and discover new compounds and molecules. As you progress through the game, common everyday elements will appear! Use the silhouette of the items in the "LOCKED" list to get an idea of what these items are, and how they might be formed. For each successful reaction, the elements created will automatically move from the "LOCKED" to "UNLOCKED" list, from where they can be added to the mixing space with a double tap. You can see basic information about the discovered elements, as well as the Wikipedia page dedicated to each element. Also, when you successfully complete a reaction, you'll see a dashboard with information about the finished reaction and the products created. If you repeatedly make different non-reactive mixtures, the game will give you hints of possible reactions to be made with the elements already available. Includes Leaderboards and Achievements! New elements and reactions will be added for free in future updates, stay tuned!
