Really nice game with pretty visuals!I love the potion craft process, and the level design was great!

Cool game! I love the fact we have to actually learn what the potions are, and understand what people want (not just reading labels, but understanding the purpose of the request). The time limit felt a bit tight for a first playrthorugh (maybe it could become harder and harder, but this is a hard start). overall super cute game with cool graphics!

Very good idea, nice visuals. At first, it's hard to know which statement corresponds to which potion, but later it becomes easier. Increasing the waiting time for the first few orders would help with the game’s entry. Also, as an idea, it could be nice to have feedback on the potions—what if you make the wrong potion, and the customer comes back to explain what went wrong

Cute! It reminds me of Potion Craft! Love it!

Got a final score of 290. It's probably not the best but for the second try, I think it's pretty good. The game is very beautiful. Every customers and ingridents are well drawn and are very adorable. All ingredients also have interesting descriptions as well! The gameplay loop is simple enough to understand and requires quite some memorisation (which I don't have), but the game still plays nice!

For a bit of criticism, I'd say the game takes quite some time to brew a potion, and there is no way to cancel and throw away a potion (which is one of my criticisms of the original potion craft too), and it makes mistakes very punishing. One wrongly brewed potion would probably cost the player one to two hearts and it feels a bit unfair. I would also think that the ladel cannot be picked up before a potion is brewed is an odd choice, and it feels like the game is not responding when you are frantically trying to scoup out some potions to an annoyed customer. 

Anyway with all that's said, this is still a well-made game! Keep up the good work!

This game is so impressive. I am not a fans of wizard in fantasy setup, but this give me an inevitable experience to craft those awesome potion for various customer. However, for my first run I fail very quick because I have to spent long time to understand what ingredient cause which effect. Nice game by far.

I loved this game! Figuring out which potion to make from the descriptions was so fun, though once you've learned all the individual requests and how they map to each ingredient, the game loses a lot of the puzzle element. But overall, really enjoyed playing it, and the fact that all of the art was made from scratch is seriously so amazing, and it made me wish I could forcibly induce amnesia so I could play it for the first time all over again. Really great game!

Loved the art! Good job for this game! I had not understand that i had to take the ladle to put my brew in potions at first, maybe making it shake a bit for the first time should help ? Congratulations fort this game!

Love the art! Huh, I lost all hp so fast over and over again. I think the game is a bit too hard for begginers

Loooove the art in this one :)

Wow, the game and artwork are so impressive. The layout of the UI elements is easy to understand and fun. However, I found that the difficulty level does start too high from the beginning. It takes a reasonable amount of time to get the hang of it. But overall, it's enjoyable.

Cool little game with great art. Did well fro one person ^-^

Very cute! I felt like it was a bit too easy though, since the book pausing the game made it pretty much trivial to keep all my customers satisfied indefinitely. The art style and sounds are very charming though.

Very cool! Great minds think alike!!! Love the art!

Very pleasant visuals. I like the idea of a potion shop. It would be great to have a difficulty setting in the game. My record is two happy customers at most.
