http://androidapps4fun.blogspot.com/2010/08/alchemy.html Alchemy is a great and addictive game where the user is presented with four basic elements ( Air, Earth, Fire, Water) and the user can then simply mix these elements to create new elements such as life, city, alcohol, book. Currently there are 270 possible elements that can be created but the developer may release more with future updates. The game can be downloaded for free on the android market and I would highly recommend it for puzzle enthusiasts.
