How does the game fit the theme?
The game might seem chill enough. You mix potions, mix more potions and so on.

However, if not made in time, you explode, if you do not catch the fireballs, you explode, if not hitting the wizard, trouble.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
'Three Red Hearts - Box Jump' made by "Abstraction ":

Great job!

Very fun game! The difficulty is very fitting for the theme, and it fits the game quite well. As others have said, I'd make the conveyor belt a bit slower so that it's easier to grab the potions. The art is nicely done, it fits the game's style very well! Good job!

Fun game! conveyor could be a little slower or maybe just a more forgiving hitbox on the potions. A little gentler ramp up could be good to

Submitted

Art and music is very cute. The game is stressful, which is a good thing! Like others have said, grabbing the potions is a little difficult. Someone recommended making it slower, but I think you could also experiment with the size of the hitboxes as well. Also, I think the player should be able to catch the potion as they're falling to catch their mistakes.

A potion mixing game, cool concept! The chaos and the panic from trying to mix even a single potion really fits the theme! As others have said, I find it a little hard to grab the potions from the conveyor belt, maybe make it move a little slower?

In any case, this was a challenging, hectic, yet fun experience, great job!

pretty fun game ! though the early game's pretty hard. gg!

Super difficult game but still fun. I had trouble even getting a single potion mixed. If you were to continue this project I would recommend starting out easier so that the player can get accustomed to the environment and controls and ramp it up slowly.

Really cool and nervous !

rated!

Really difficult game for a dad gamer like me. I like the idea!

The idea of the game is intresting,  the difficulty curve is  merciless!  maybe  would have been better to ramp  up the fireballs and the  conveyor speed over  time to  what  they  are now to get the player accustomed with this pace! Love the art :D

Nice game ! Congrats on making it alone ! :) The multitasking was nice and the potions falling were a really smart idea!

Submitted

I enjoy playing the game! With the multitasking mechanics really fitting the "Panic" in the title, it is also really intense, but fun. Oh and also super replayable, if we want to get more scores.

The balance between multitasking need to be readjusted. Maybe make the conveyor belt longer or slower, so us player doesn't feel like having a skill issue, while trying to aim for the correct potion xD. The fireball is alright, since it's easy to get rid of, but I gotta agree with the previous comments, that the fireball is "sometimes" going to fast.

Overall decent game, cool concept and good presentation!

Everything is going fast!

I first started and immediatly lost because of a fireball before I even had the time to process what was on the screen. The potions drop quickly too so it's hard to catch them.

But in the end I think this fast pace makes the game more engaging. Great job!

Game looks and feels really good but the only thing is that the fireballs are kinda too fast somethimes!

Submitted

The fact that you have to do multiple tasks at once really gives the game originality. I really like it!!
