Little Alchemy is a series of games developed and published by Recloak based on the premise of mixing and combining elements.
The Little Alchemy games focus on the concept of merging elements together to make new elements. Players start with the four classical elements; earth, water, fire and air, with the goal of merging them to make as many elements as possible. In Little Alchemy, there is a total of 580 elements with 9 hidden elements. In Little Alchemy 2, there are 720 elements.
Developed by Jakub Koziol, Little Alchemy was initially released on December 8, 2010, as a browser game. The game was released for Android and iOS in 2012. Its sequel, Little Alchemy 2, was released for web browsers, iOS, and Android on August 23, 2017, serving as a remake of its prequel.
