Free To Play: Prototype Stage
I’m mainly trying to learn:

• what feels confusing?
• what feels fun?
• would you play again?

Involvement: I am the solo dev for the project.

Hey everyone

I’m looking for honest feedback on a browser-playable prototype card game I’ve been developing called Alchemist’s Kit.

It’s a tactical multiplayer-style card game focused around:

• building your own Experiment for points
• sabotaging opponents with Unstable reactions
• defending with Stabilize/Dampen during reaction windows
• managing Element cards + Energy carefully

Current prototype includes:

• browser playable build (no download required)
• AI opponents
• local pass-and-play
• tutorial/onboarding improvements
• active balancing and UI iteration

The game takes about 2–3 minutes to understand, and matches are fairly quick once it clicks.

A recent tester described it as:
“once it clicked I was all in.”

That’s exactly the kind of feedback I’m trying to validate now — whether the core loop is genuinely engaging for players outside my friend group.

What I’m MOST looking for:

• What confused you?
• What felt satisfying?
• Did the game become clearer after a match or two?
• Would you play again?
• Did any mechanics feel frustrating or unnecessary?

Thanks a ton to anyone willing to give it a shot 🙏
I’m actively updating the prototype based on feedback.
