Alchemic Cutie

When I first started playing this game, it was too easy to progress in the plot and I got through it too easily. When the devs made update 1.3, they said it was going to be harder, so I decided to play it again. They made it impossible to progress. I actually believe the game is unbeatable based on the changes they made.

It has its charms, but it's still full of little issues that have been present since its release. The mechanics are poorly explained and a little overcomplicated at times. At the moment, I wouldn't recommend buying this game, but keep an eye out for future major updates

I was initially skeptical based on the mixed reviews, but this is honestly a very cute and relaxed little game. Granted, there is a little bit of a learning curve, and some places could use a little more direction or instruction, but once you figure out what everything does, it's pretty much smooth sailing from there on out. The game has no real urgency and very much lets you explore, gather, collect, and breed at your own pace. There is a relatively minimal plot, but I found it largely secondary to everything else. That being said, I don't mind this. It's ultimately a jelly (slime) ranching sim, and it's perfectly fun on its own with just the ranching mechanics. I've dropped almost 50 hours into the game without collecting all the possible color variations and only just finished the main story a couple days ago. The plot itself doesn't actually take all that long if you simply focus on getting specifically what you need, but most of my time was absolutely spent just puttering around collecting items and jellies. As stated in some other reviews, the game does sort of drop you in without a whole lot of instruction or direction. The tutorials and info dialogue do tell you the basic…

Super cute and relaxing game! It is a little tough to figure things out at first, like how to use jellies for relics or how to activate shortcuts. Even so, the game does help guide you a bit and it's not too difficult to experiment and get things on your own. I do agree, it could use more tips/advice on things, but it's still enjoyable for those of us who like grindy, silly, and chill gameplay.

It's a very cute game and I spent hours playing it, I can't not recommend it. That said, it still needs a bit of polish. I feel like I "wasted" a lot of time trying to breed the right colours of jellies only to realise they weren't right for the quests, or need a colour again and not be able to find out how to do it again. It'd be nice for more useful info to be added in the guide, like when you've bred a colour before you can then see directly in two clicks what combination you need. Also the seasonal shipping quests don't always match what is available in that season. Which means you can't complete it, or skip it, and so can't do the next 2-3 quests left. So overall there are some frustrations. However the jellies are still very cute, I loved breeding them, exploring the map looking for the right resources to turn into colours, breeding the right mix of colour+shape for the quests, etc. I spent about 50h on it overall... I also wish it had more replayability (or "I can keep playing this forever because there's more to do still" playability) once the main story is done with, because I WOULD definitely spend more time playing this game, polished or not.

This game is fun little mix of challenge plus cute! i enjoyed the 10 hours i've played so far and i'm picking it as my august game of the month!
