Combine. Discover. Create. Learn. AlchemyMix is a discovery-based puzzle sandbox with a twist — every element you unlock teaches you something true about the real world. Start with four primal ingredients: Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. Combine any two to see what emerges. Unlock 91 elements across 5 tiers, from the basic to the legendary — and tap any of them to read the science, mythology, or cultural history behind it. LEARN AS YOU PLAY Every element has an educational detail card: - Real substances (water, glass, diamond, electricity) get factual chemistry, physics, and biology - Natural phenomena (volcano, storm, ocean) explain the geology and meteorology - Mythical elements (dragon, unicorn, phoenix) trace folklore across cultures - Abstract concepts (love, life, magic) bring in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience Discover that water expands when it freezes. That honey in ancient Egyptian tombs is still edible. That Welsh, Bhutanese, and Chinese traditions all feature dragons on their flags. That oxytocin is released when you hug someone. HOW IT WORKS - Tap any two discovered elements to combine them - New combinations unlock new elements and score points - Higher-tier discoveries are worth more - Use up to 7 hints per game if you get stuck - Track your collection across 5 tiers: Basic, Simple, Intermediate, Advanced, Rare WHAT YOU GET - 91 hand-curated elements with real-world educational content - Clean, quiet, contemplative gameplay - no timers, no pressure - Hint system for when you're stuck - Per-game score tracking with personal best - Beautiful emerald & gold theme - Works completely offline THE IMPORTANT STUFF - Free to try: Play 3 full games before deciding - Earn more free games by voting on polls or sharing with friends - Just $0.99 to unlock unlimited play - Zero ads.

Not now, not ever. - Works completely offline - No account required AlchemyMix was built for curious minds - people who like to read the plaque next to the exhibit, who watch the credits scroll, who look up words they don't know. If that's you, welcome. From Zafronix - quality indie games with no ads and no tracking.
SOLVI
Read full descriptionHide full description
What happens when Fire meets Water? Or Earth and Air? Drag two elements together in Solvi and see what they become. Then keep going. Every discovery adds something real to a floating island that grows and changes as you play: weather rolls in, day turns to night, seasons pass, and eventually people arrive and build a settlement that grows from a camp into a city, all from the elements you combine. There is no timer, no energy meter, and nothing that locks you out of playing. Come back once a day or once a week. The island keeps its answers the way you left them. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Combine elements freely to uncover 247 discoveries across Fundamentals, Nature, Materials, Reactions, Life, Civilization, and more - Watch your discoveries change the island itself: plants grow, weather happens, a settlement rises, animals move in - Solve a new Daily Mystery combination each day - Fill in the Codex and complete milestones as your island fills out - Explore nine islands, including the frozen coast of Frostreach and the mangrove waterways of Verdant Flats - Follow discovery clues with Your Journey and keep track of experiments in the Notebook - Try optional weekly recipe puzzles alongside the Daily Mystery Solvi is built to be picked up for two minutes or twenty, with nothing standing between you and the next discovery.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SOLVI at none against AlchemyMix's 1. SOLVI also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.4). AlchemyMix's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
