Alchemy in a game jam is about turning simple things into surprising outcomes through experimentation, transformation, and discovery.

The Alchemist is an isometric maze chase—collect keys, dodge bombs, and find the purple flowers.

You are a problem-solver who experiments to unlock new paths.

Your goal is to find the purple flowers.

Flowers represent culmination and refinement and purple implies the final stage of transformation.

Move: Arrow Keys or Q,E,Z,C

Pick up fire if you are standing on it: Space Bar

Place the fire or the bomb that you are holding: Space Bar

Place the fire, a bomb, or an Orb you are holding on adjacent empty spaces: T,U,B,M

The Key obviously opens blocked pathways,

Fire deters bombs from following the shortest path to reach you, and the Feather gives you a birds eye view of the playable area.

If enemy bombs follow the path and hit a bomb tile, they die and the bomb blocking the pathway becomes a useable tile to travel on/through.

These features alone should be enough for some interesting puzzle challenges.
