Alchemy Lab
Read full descriptionHide full description
Brew. Defend. Descend. A blight is spreading from the heart of a cursed kingdom, and only your fortress stands between the horde and the lands beyond. You are the alchemist on the wall โ and your potions are the last line of defense. Alchemy Lab fuses hands-on potion crafting with real-time tower defense. Work your cauldron in the lab, then unleash what you brew to hold the line against waves of monsters marching down the battlefield. CRAFT REAL POTIONS Drop ingredients into the cauldron and strike the recipe map with a steady hand โ where your cursor lands decides the potion's type and its strength. Master the craft to brew exactly what the next battle demands. FIVE WAYS TO FIGHT Heal your tower, strike the enemy, raise a physical shield, ward off magic, or empower your defenses. Read each wave and cast the right potion at the right moment โ time slows when you choose, but it never stops. DEFEND YOUR FORTRESS Waves march from the gloom toward your wall. Level up your alchemist and reinforce your fortress to survive escalating assaults and boss encounters. 75 LEVELS, 6 CURSED REGIONS Fight deeper into the ruin โ from the misty Blightwood and the war-scorched Ashen Front, through poison swamps and frozen wastes, into an arcane dead city, down to the lava of the Maw. Each region darker and deadlier than the last. GROW YOUR ALCHEMIST Earn XP from every craft and every battle, level up, and invest points across potion ladders and fortress upgrades. Your power grows with the threat. Free to play. Descend into the blight โ the wall is yours to hold.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Squeak and Stack at none against Alchemy Lab's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
