Little Alchemy-Über-cute element combining game

*Little Alchemy* is an adorable Pokki-based element *creation game* for
Windows. *Pokki? Element Creation?* Pokki is an application platform, a
little like Adobe Air. You'll need it to install the game, but rest assured -
it's free and only takes a click or two. Element creation games are a niche
area of gaming that you'll either love or hate. The involve combining basic
scientific elements - like air, earth and water - and seeing what new
elements you can come up with. *Finding elements* Little Alchemy has *270
elements* for you to produce, and it marks them as you find them. There's a
search function, which is perfect when you have discovered more than fit
comfortably in the interface. If you've reached the final result of any given
element (i.e., it can't be combined with anything to make something new), it
will glow red when you mouse over. *Lovely graphics* There are several games
like Little Alchemy, but what makes this one stand out is the lovely
interface. The elements have a lovely, whimsical appearance, and they are
easy to work with. Little Alchemy doesn't offer many extra options - there
are only two, in fact - but the "recycle" icon in the bottom right corner of
the left-hand panel does offer a really easy way of clearing off your virtual
workspace. *Personal taste* Little Alchemy is really just that - combine the
elements and see what you get. This is surprisingly addictive, but there's
always the chance that it just doesn't appeal. Given that Little Alchemy is
free, though, there's no harm if you give it a try. If you are hooked by
Little Alchemy, though, and you need a little *extra help* for figuring out
those Little Alchemy combinations, look here . *Little Alchemy is a lovely
element-combining game that will keep you charmed and entertained for
hours.*Download *Little Alchemy* in Softonic
