The Bestest Alchemist Moves Launch to Q1 2026

The Bestest Alchemist is a cute puzzle roguelike releasing on Steam for PC

December 26, 2025 – Tabi Entertainment is announcing that The Bestest Alchemist will now release in Q1 2026.

Tabi Entertainment is extending the development cycle to allow the team to prioritize final polish and ensure the game meets the quality bar for the final release.

The Perfect Concoction

The Bestest Alchemist takes a spin on match-3 puzzles. Instead of simple swaps - here, you can freely rearrange ingredients to set up the perfect mix! But you’ll need to think fast as you race the clock while to satisfy each ingredient's particular requirements.

• Set Up Combos: Slide ingredients into the perfect position to maximize your score!
• Meet Complex Demands: Fulfill specific recipe requirements, like matching on certain tiles or in large groups, all while hitting your score goals.
• Think Fast: With limited turns and the clock ticking, every move counts!

Pack for Perfection

Success begins before the first match is even made. The ingredients you choose to bring to an exam directly determine the tiles that appear on your puzzle board.

Upgrade Your Ingredients: Purchasing the same ingredient can upgrade them to higher levels.

Strategic Loadouts: Will you bring just one color of ingredients for easy combos, or choose a lot of colors for the chance at better combos and bigger scores?

Build Your Synergy: Select ingredients that work together. Some boost the power of others, while others have more utility or future benefits!

From Apprentice To Master

Experiment by mixing different ingredients to discover recipes for brand-new ones! Every time you complete a semester, you'll also gain a powerful bookmark for your grimoire, granting effects that can completely change your strategy.

• Discover 100+ Recipes: Use your alchemical knowledge on future runs to craft the exact ingredients you need.
• Acquire Powerful Bookmarks: Hunt down legendary bookmarks that grant game-changing passive abilities.
• Adapt or Fail: Each run presents new challenges. Apply the knowledge gained from previous attempts to finally reach graduation!

Features

Endless Replayability: A roguelike structure ensures every semester brings new challenges and strategic decisions.

• Strategic Match-3 Puzzles: A fresh take on the genre where board control and planning are key to victory.
• A Massive Grimoire: Fill your book by discovering recipes and unlocking powerful artifacts.
• Deep Strategic Customization: Your inventory directly defines the puzzle board, putting strategy at the forefront.
• A Charming Journey: Help the ambitious and lovable Charlotte on her quest to become… The Bestest Alchemist!
