Show HN: Alchemy Puzzle Game I built

Water plus fire is steam. So what is steam plus lightning?

A browser game. Nothing to download, nothing to install. Free to play.

Water and fire make steam. Earth and wind make sand; sand and wind again make dust. So what do steam and dust make? Nobody knows, because nobody has made it yet.

The first person in the world to make a thing keeps their name on its page. The whole server shares one codex, everything you make is listed in it, and if you got there first the codex keeps your name.

What you make becomes a material again. Start from the five primal elements and push the codex further out, one step at a time.

At the start there is only water, fire, earth, wind and lightning. What you make becomes a material again, so you keep going down the chain. Everything has a purity, a tier and a price, and anything good can go on the market for gold.

Hat, top, bottoms, shoes, both hands and the backdrop all change separately.

The outfit you put together does not just sit in the wardrobe. It shows up in the lobby, and it follows you into battle.

You pick the battle scene too. Over a hundred places from around the world, Mount Fuji, the Eiffel Tower, Machu Picchu and Taipei 101 among them.

What you make can fight for you too. Pick ten things from the codex to build a roster; each one brings its own element and its own skills.

Every piece starts face down. You know what your opponent brought, but not which of the pieces in front of you is which.

The match plays like dark chess. Flipping, moving and attacking each cost a turn, and when one element counters another that hit lands twice as hard.
