Reagents!

Reagents! puts you in the role of an apprentice alchemist, starting with just a handful of base materials. The core loop is simple: drag two reagents together and see what they produce. Each successful combination reveals a new element or compound, slowly expanding your available toolkit and opening up more complex recipes. What makes the game engaging is the sense of discovery. You might start by combining fire and water to get steam, but soon you are mixing metals, gases, and mystical essences to craft elixirs and artifacts. The game rewards experimentation and logical thinking, as some pairings are obvious while others require a bit of trial and error. With a clean interface and a satisfying chain of unlocks, it is a perfect way to pass a few minutes or challenge yourself to complete the entire catalog.

What is Reagents!

Reagents! is a thoughtful puzzle game about alchemy and discovery. Start with a few basic elements and see what you can create.

How to Play

Drag or click two reagents from your collection to combine them. If the pair has a known reaction, a new reagent will appear in your list.

Tips for Playing

  • Combine the basic elements in every possible pair to uncover early synergies.
  • Pay attention to the names of new reagents—they often hint at what they can create.
  • If you are stuck, try combining a reagent with itself.
  • Prioritize unlocking water, fire, earth, and air first, as they are used in many recipes.
  • Keep a mental note of failed combinations, but do not be afraid to revisit them later.
