Hey! Exactly how do I cook potions? I memorized some of the recipes, but I can't put more than 2 ingredients on the table. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong so I can give it another go? =]

I love the art, the main character and the boss looks cute 5/5 from me for the art you guy created in this game.

Yeah, some little tutorial inside the game will be a good addition to have in this game. It took me a while to know that I can put out the fire and save the ingredient on left table. Another thing I hope the game tell me from the start is I need to press left shift to go into shooting mode, maybe you guys forget to write it because left shift to enter shoot mode is not written on the upper right control guide. Yeah I know it's written in the game page, but maybe you can make that guide accessible too inside the game, make it something like screenshot with text is enough for me.

The total item and combination for me is too many, because of that I often need to wait for a really long time to get the third ingredient. Speaking of the ingredient, in my gameplay the ingredient tray will stop sending a new ingredient when my timer is around less than 01:30. I don't know if it's a bug or it is just how the game work, it happen 3 times. Because of that, I can't do anything for the rest of the game. 

Another thing is about game performance. My laptop isn't a beefy machine and maybe a bit old, but for me this game isn't supposed to be this heavy. I can't run the game smoothly on 30 FPS... :( it better when in shooting mode, but on top down camera the game is too slow and make it harder to dodge the attack.

This game have really cute art, the type of game that I will love to play just to see the art this game have. But because of the lack in game guide, performance issue on my laptop, and the bug(?), I can't really enjoy this game as I hope. But it just my opinion and I think if you guys will improve this game after the jam, maybe this game maybe can be something like overcook type of game but with making a bomb potion to defeat the boss instead serve a food to customer.

Well that's for me, I hope this review will be usefull for you guys.

I think maybe a little tutorial would be helpful, I mixed a potion but then not sure what to do... If I grab it then it disappears but if I leave it then it just explodes! Cute style though and interesting idea :)
