Part puzzle and part strategy game, Symbolism is a unique offering that challenges gamers to think both methodically and critically in order to rack up high scores.
The premise of the game is somewhat simple. Each square has a symbol and a color and can only be placed next to squares that have either the same color or symbol. Once an entire row or column has been filled, it is cleared. Once every square on the board has been marked at least once (signified by a yellow background), the level is over.
Sound easy? Sure, at first it will be a piece of cake, but with each passing level comes more and more color and shape combinations. Do you have what it takes to be Symbolism master? There is only one way to find out...

PLEASE make UNDO button!
The second game I learned to play on the computer was Alchemy. I had forgotten how much I loved it until now. This puzzle game is so fun, and I love that I am NOT playing against the clock.
One thing it needs though is an undo button. Sometimes I bump the wrong square by accident, and can't undo it.
Thanks for listing this game!
Thanks for bringing an Alchemy style game to iOS!
I have enjoyed playing various games of this type,
thanks for making a quality version for iOs!
I've now completed the challenge levels! (They WERE quite a challenge.)
Except for "checkerboard" - I thought that must be some kind of cruel joke -
(no player could complete it without a streak of incredible luck!)
but then I see that we are meant to use the "Symbol Store" to buy some special moves to help?
(from credits earned by clearing levels?) Still it may take a LOT of credits to beat it without
using a "clear entire board" special!
Also, the appearance of the Game Over button doesn't mean it's over! You CAN keep playing one more tile.
This could be made more clear?
Some more tile / soundsets or something would be cool! Also, you could pick up where Alchemy stopped
(why? perhaps it requires too much thought for most players! and didn't sell?) and keep adding new features?
Thanks again for coding this.
don't repeat symbols consecutively
I like to play the challenge mode level called Checkerboard. In the beginning, I thought it was impossible (and still do because I haven't cleared the board yet) but I've gotten very close on a couple of occasions. The one thing I wish you'd fix is repeating symbols that show up consecutively. I once had three of the same symbol appear in succession! Otherwise, this game is great.
