Purification, maturity, nobility. The ability to take something quotidien, and make it sparkle. Make metal into gold. Alchemy, an art lost to the ages. But now, alchemy has made its way to the present, to your screens. Say hello to Pillars of Alchemy, the newest physics-based match-3 game that will keep you glued to your screen for hours. The object of the game is simple: variously colored particles float around your board, seemingly aimless. However, when you tap the screen, the point of contact produces a field of energy, which in turn scatters the particles. Use these fields of energy to coax them around the screen, towards particles of the same color. If they make contact with such a particle, they’ll join together. Join them with a third, and the whole trio will disappear. However, if you make contact with a particle of a different color, the two particles will disappear, and you’ll lose the chance to make a match.A bar at the top of the screen indicates the life you have remaining - as the bar fills up, you’re closer to death. Just make as many matches as you can before your time is up. Think it sounds easy? Try Pillars of Alchemy for yourself.
