The slow art of turning lead into gold. No timer, no noise — just patient, beautiful transmutation. Climb the planetary metals to the Philosopher's Stone. Athanor is the alchemist's furnace — a slow, ever-burning vessel of transformation. It takes the slide-and-merge puzzle you already know and gives it a soul. Swipe to slide every tile one way; two equal metals fuse into the next rung of the ladder. Climb from formless Prima Materia through the seven planetary metals — Lead, Tin, Iron, Copper, Quicksilver, Silver, Gold — until you forge the Philosopher's Stone. Then keep going, into the endless rungs beyond. No timer. No noise. Just the work. THREE TOPOLOGIES, ONE ENGINE • Nigredo — the classic 4×4 square board, four directions. • Albedo — a hexagonal board, six directions across three axes. • Rubedo — a radial mandala: rotate the rings, collapse to the center. Each unlocks as you reach the Stone in the prior stage. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Opus — reach the Stone, then climb without end. • Zen — no game over, unlimited undo, pure calm. • Daily — one shared seeded board each day; pure skill. • Mutation — the board itself transmutes as you climb. A QUIET DEPTH • The Codex — every metal you forge unlocks a short note on its planetary symbolism and history. • Scenarios — hand-wrought puzzle trials with star ratings. • Achievements & Game Center leaderboards. • Solve & Coagula — alchemical abilities to bend a stuck board. MADE WITH CARE • A twilight palette, ember-and-gold glow, and engraved planetary glyphs. • All sound is synthesized on-device — no recordings. • Soft haptics that rise as you climb. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts. No tracking. No ads. • Runs fully offline. Your progress stays on your device. Free to play — the full Square board with Classic and Daily modes. One optional purchase (buy once, own forever) unlocks the Hexagon and Radial boards, Zen and Mutation modes, and the complete Codex and 118-element register. Progress and winning are never sold. Solve et Coagula. Begin the Great Work. https://agezgin.github.io/athanor/support.html https://agezgin.github.io/athanor/privacy.html
