You are an achemist, and you love discover new tricks, like magic, but you must eat everyday so you have to attend some orders... Do your job!
In the manuscript you will find some clues, the first "level" is the tutorial, so read it carefully!

Additional hint: Recipes only has 2 ingredients

This game is not only mine but my mate gonya too.
HTML and Linux licences are expensive sorry!

Updated with some fixes, now you will have enough copper to pass the level if you stuck there
Pretty cool and interesting game. A bit hard though - if I screwed up and used the wrong materials, I have to start all over.
Was this made with Fusion? You need to upload the source.
@DiegoHenriquez Yeah, we know, we havent got time to make it easier and improve the gameplay. We thought about a shop where you can buy some more elements, and about a recipe book to search the ingredients, but couldnt finish these ideas.
BtheDestroyer we use Game Maker, standar version of it. We don't have to upload the source :/, but it is all spaguetti code so... nothing really interesting about that
Hi Magicolo, thanks for playing (o trying) the game, could you describe the steps you do to get that crashes? Wich OS are you using? I would be great If you can provide me a screenshot of the message error.
Thanks!
I inspected some elements code (a variable that contains his "name") and I realise that there are some that where wrote in a bad way so I changed it!
Try again please, and thanks for the feedback! :)
Overall this was a pretty neat crafting game. I'm not sure the time component was necessary since we could just reset everything as we were figuring out the correct combinations to make. Other than that, I think the puzzles were well designed with a gameplay flow in mind.
I'd say the main criticism I have is to clean up some of the user interface by removing the "Next" button when there's no more text to see, or displaying what components you put into the mortar and pedestal. I wish I could remove components that I've used rather than resetting the level, however in the end it wasn't totally necessary to make the game fun. Not to mention, it would be good to inform the player that they can only make things with combinations of two components (not more, though I could be wrong if that showed up later in the game).
Additionally, I received this error while clicking the grinder rapidly, which forced me to close out the game:

@CMWeissMedia thanks for the feedback! You are right, all that things you say that are useless now... it's because we couldn't finish the game, such get it more polished or decresing the time when you press the reset button.
I'm thinking about finish the game the way we thought about it as a postmortem
I liked this! Well, it has some problems, admittedly. ;) Some of the stuff I was able to guess with what little I know of alchemy, but some seemed random...Like the Quintessence level, I had to try all 10 combinations, and it turned out to be the last one! (Incidentally, are there any combinations that are more than two ingredients, or is it always just two? Might want to mention that somewhere.) I still can't solve the platinum/gold/silver level. How about somewhere that gives hints? Or maybe a feature that shows you 'recipes' you've unlocked; I notice there's a book on the table that is just waiting to be clicked. ;) And finally, while clicking I got this message:

All in all, though, pretty good!
@chaoseed only combinations with two element, thats why is not accurate with achemy. I will update the entry to mention it :)
About more hits... I said it earlier, we could finish the game, and we couldn't polish the gameplay.
I will check this error! Thanks for playing, and for that feedback :)
I really enjoyed this! You should maybe add in some sort of a recipee book or something, and give the player a goal other than just making recipees. But appart from that, great fun!
Really liked the graphics! I don't normally like crafing games, but I played it longer than I thought and it was fun.
I like the mood of this game! I managed to craft some dust, but I couldn't drag the coal to the tray. Not sure what I was doing wrong. I tried a few times but to no avail.
Neat idea. I seemed to find too many ways to mess my game up. Cool project though.
Quite an interesting little puzzle game, although I got stuck on Gold, Silver, Platinum before the game crashed (same error as someone else in the comments). Well thought-out and pretty smart, I enjoyed the core gameplay. I think some way of keeping notes in the game might have been nice, but I suppose that's why we have pen and paper! Overall quite a solid entry - good work! :)
Hi Mach60Kas, I tried to fix this bug but it's seems like a radom bug in Game Maker with files :/

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Interesting crafting game :)
