Alchemickal
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Alchemickal is a roguelite twin-stick shooter where frantic action collides with elemental mayhem. Step into the shoes of an everyday alchemist who’s in for way more than he signed up for.
Mix and Match
Use your jury-rigged tech to imbue your weapons with chemickals, granting elemental properties to your attacks. Shock foes with chain lightning, melt them with acid, or coat them in flammable tar for a cascading explosion. Discover specialized recipes to unlock powerful new combinations!
Know your Enemy
Enemies come with distinct quirks that shape every encounter: some bleed, others rust. Some can be tricked into attacking their own kin, others can have their powers sealed. Learn their tricks, exploit their weaknesses, and survive another floor.
Freedom of Expression
Every weapon has a unique upgrade tree, while an odd shop between worlds tempts you with bizarre buffs. Each run twists your arsenal into something new: sometimes ingenious, sometimes disastrous, always explosive.
Gameplay Features
- Fast-paced twin-stick combat that rewards quick thinking and improvisation.
- A reactive alchemy system where elemental matchups and special recipes define your tactical options.
- Enemies defined by both faction traits and elemental affinities for layered encounters.
- Unlockable weapons with branching upgrade paths that shape playstyle.
- Permadeath: every run starts from the beginning.
- Procedurally generated dungeons packed with hazards, ambushes, and other fun surprises.

Solid fun ! good job, if you wanna see my gameplay for testing, etc here it is.
Thanks for playing and for the stream!
Will this have an option for controller support?
Eventually, yes!
very interesting game, I'm interested in how it will turn out!
If you want a few suggestions, it would be nice to "slow down" the game for a bit while the player is holding the "mix element" button , it would make them easier to use for beginners like me (especially bc it is a very unique system)
also I think it would be cool to be able to push the elemental barrels around, maybe with a "kick" move or a wind element? lol
anyways very fun game, thanks you mr dev
Thank you for playing!
I agree with the slow down. A recipe guide pop-up on the side would also be nice.
