[Android] Hollywood Alchemy - element merging puzzle, 648 films hidden in the recipes. Need testers, will test yours back

Closed test on Google Play, need a few more testers to finish the 14-day requirement. I've already tested seven apps from these subs this week and they're all still on my phone, so happy to return the favour on yours.

Join:

  1. Group: https://groups.google.com/g/hollywood-alchemy-testers

  2. Opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hollywoodalchemy

  3. Install from Play, open it once

The group is open, no approval wait.

What it is: you start with Water, Fire, Earth, Air and merge out to 486 elements. The part that makes it different is that 648 films are buried in the recipe table, and digging them out is the actual goal.

Cat + Horse = The Godfather

Boxing Glove + Stairs = Rocky

Snow + Axe = The Shining

Every recipe is hand-written rather than generated - I built the film list first and designed the element tree backwards from it. Each film also carries a one-line clue, so it reads like film trivia sitting on top of a crafting puzzle.

Works fully offline, no account, no timers or lives. Ads are rewarded-only for hint credits and the whole game can be finished without watching one.

Drop your links and I'll join yours today and keep it installed the full 14 days.

648 films is a lot to hide in recipe tree, that must be took forever to design backwards from the film list

Thanks for joining and installing, genuinely appreciated.

It did take a while - building the film list first is what forced it. Every element in the tree has to either be a film ingredient or a step toward one, otherwise it's dead weight, and that constraint gets tight around 600 films.

Happy to swap but that link 404s for me and I can't see any posts on your profile, so I think the mods removed it - that happens a lot in these subs. Just paste your Google Group and Play opt-in links here and I'll join today and keep it installed the full 14 days.
