About This Game

Class is in session at the Alchemist's Academy! Step into the shoes of Charlotte, a brilliant but easily flustered apprentice with a single goal: to become The Bestest Alchemist. To earn that title, you'll need wit, preparation, and a little bit of magic.

Demo Content

In the demo, you can explore the first two difficulty levels, and a limited subset of the roguelike elements: ingredients, bookmarks, and potions. We'll be actively listening to feedback to improve the game further!

The Perfect Concoction

The Bestest Alchemist takes a spin on match-3 puzzles. Instead of simple swaps - here, you can freely rearrange ingredients to set up the perfect mix! But you’ll need to think fast as you race the clock while satisfying each ingredient's particular requirements.

• Set Up Combos: Slide ingredients into the perfect position to maximize your score!

• Meet Complex Demands: Fulfill specific recipe requirements, like matching on certain tiles or in large groups, all while hitting your score goals.

• Think Fast: With limited turns and the clock ticking, every move counts!

Pack for Perfection

Success begins before the first match is even made. The ingredients you choose to bring to an exam directly determine the tiles that appear on your puzzle board.

• Upgrade Your Ingredients: Purchasing the same ingredient can upgrade them to higher levels.

• Strategic Loadouts: Will you bring just one color of ingredients for easy combos, or choose a lot of colors for the chance at better combos and bigger scores?

• Build Your Synergy: Select ingredients that work together. Some boost the power of others, while others have more utility or future benefits!

From Apprentice To Master

Experiment by mixing different ingredients to discover recipes for brand-new ones! Every time you complete a semester, you'll also gain a powerful bookmark for your grimoire, granting effects that can completely change your strategy.

• Discover 100+ Recipes: Use your alchemical knowledge on future runs to craft the exact ingredients you need.

• Acquire Powerful Bookmarks: Hunt down legendary bookmarks that grant game-changing passive abilities.

• Adapt or Fail: Each run presents new challenges. Apply the knowledge gained from previous attempts to finally reach graduation!
