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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — the wall is yours to hold.

Drop a numbered tile. Watch the stack merge. Clear the board. Numa is a 3D number sort puzzle that takes one second to understand and a long time to put down. Sort the numbered tiles onto the hexa board, stack matching values together, and merge them into bigger numbers until the board clears. No timers. No pressure. Just you, the board, and one more perfect move. HOW TO PLAY - Drag a tile from your tray onto any free cell on the board. - Land matching numbers next to each other and they stack. - A full stack merges into the next number up and clears the space. - Run the board out of room and the level ends - so think one move ahead. WHY YOU WILL KEEP PLAYING Every level is hand-built, not randomly thrown together. New boards, new tile sets, new twists on the rule keep arriving as you climb, so level 300 never feels like level 3. FEATURES - Bright 3D cartoon art with soft lighting and buttery-smooth animation - Hundreds of handcrafted levels, with fresh mechanics introduced as you progress - Satisfying merge effects and chunky, tactile sound design - Undo, shuffle and extra-slot boosters when a board gets tight - Relaxing pace - no countdown, no lives to wait for - Plays fully offline, so it works on a plane, a train or a dead-signal lift - Tiny download, runs smoothly on older devices - Easy for kids, deep enough for adults who like a real brain workout A REAL BRAIN WORKOUT, DISGUISED AS A TOY Sorting and merging numbers trains pattern recognition, planning and short-term memory. Most players just call it relaxing. Both are true. Whether you have thirty seconds in a queue or an hour on the sofa, Numa fits. Sort it, stack it, merge it, clear it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hexadoku at none against Alchemy Lab's 3. Alchemy Lab's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
