Great game! Great art and entertaining core loop, well done, guys!
It was even more fun to play because we had the same idea in our top-3 list for our game and we didn't choose this one because we thought we coudn't deliver it at the best quality, so I was pleased to discover your game and see that you totally nailed it.  Good luck!

I really like the art style for this game, its super well polished and the sound design helps especially with that. To be honest, I was quite puzzled on what I should be doing - I think a small tutorial would alleviate some of this. All in all, definitely a strong entry for this game jam and a well made game overall!

Everyone did a great job, the art is beautiful, the audio fits the game very well, and the balance is quite challenging. The only thing I would improve is adding a goal, like winning if you craft all the recipes, or a very expensive one that calms the storm forever. The last recipe is bugged haha, I got frustrated not being able to complete it. Excellent game, I had a lot of fun.

Developer

Thanks for the suggestion and glad you had fun!!

Really loved the take on the theme by extending the clam! Great audio and art made the point and click super satisfying.

Crafting, brewing potions and the point and click worked really well,. The graphics and music are really pleasant and work well with the game, excellent job on this!

Love love love the artwork. I wouldnt mind seeing a minigame each time you brew a potion instead of sitting there doing nothing! Short and sweet and thats the only downside to it! Music is top notch too.
Well done on 7 days work :)

Developer

thanks so much for playing! You can actually leave the potion as it's brewing and work on other things, but minigames would be a great addition!

A fun game! I like the approach of trying to expand the calm timer. Very polished and cozy

Came here from Jorava's collection.. this game made me so cozy and relaxed before the storm (referring to the storm both in the game & my job that I do go to after) :3

Absolutely adorable, love the crafting part and the art is amazing !!

Absolutely loved the game’s cozy art style and engaging potion crafting mechanics! The soothing music complements the beautiful visuals well. It’s a bit repetitive, but overall, fantastic work!

This was a lot of fun! Love the mechanic between brewing and making money and buying stuff to be able to extend the time. Very good game :D

Hee-ho. Beautiful game. Very cute

Submitted(+3)

This was fun! Not really my favorite type of games, but I can see all the effort put into it. Looks very pretty, the button sounds are such a good ASMR and overall it's pretty nice!

Submitted(+3)

This was charming! I like the resource management and having to think what to buy, where to place what and so forth. The art was beautiful, and the music complemented it very well.

One thing I would've liked is the crafting table remembering which items I've put in it.

Also, the one with 3 eyes, 2 worms and a yellow sponge(?) couldn't be crafted, the game acted as if I'd click the clear button (which I didn't, I tested this twice).

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the suggestion! yeah, we noticed the worm cake issue after submission ;') but we fixed it and will make the update after the jam is over!

Submitted(+2)

No words, this was fantastic! Love the cute cozy art style and especially like the combination of the potion brewing management and having to craft offerings to extend the storm delay, it’s a good compelling loop. Nice one!

Developer

thanks for playing!!

Nice art. Cool recipe based crafting gameplay.

Submitted(+3)

The art is so beautiful! Very nice game, I didn't see the recipe book for like 2 minutes and I didn't know what I'm supposed to do, but then it was very fun

Submitted(+3)

awesome but short game. the art is a clear standout in quality, props to the art team. my one suggestion is to add some sort of progression or something to switch the gameplay up, for example items are out of stock or some potions will not be able to be made for some reason, otherwise I feel myself doing to same thing over and over

Developer

thanks for playing! definitely agree on the progression suggestion, if we continue working on this that's a big thing we'd want to add
