How does the game fit the theme?
A game about your average potion brewing lesson. Exploding cauldrons, a talking book, weirdly specific recipes, an amnesic scholar and terrific dialogue. Stop thinking and start playing, after all nothing can go wrong…

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Environment Assets + Sounds effects were not made by us and are credited in the description.

I see nice concept here, however i could not figure out how to cook it, i chopped the frog, the potatoes. I tried to put the frog in the bowl, but could not. So then i tried to make a second recipe, i collected 2 potatoes, chopped them, put them into bowl so it was full, then i went for salt and after i salted, my potatoes dissappeared 😢

I love the random gibberish being spoken. Nice how you can interact with a lotta the stuff! Good job for the game!

Good intention, but clearly this game is lacking polished. I understood most of the tutorial, but the recipes are really confusing. I tried to complete the youth potion by chopping all frog's leg and put it's body into the cauldron alone, but it just failed multiple time (of course the cauldron already had 40% water in it). 

Love the brewing game theme tho!

Nice game! I love potion brewing stuff! :D
I get the visual direction you guys are going for! Polished it a little bit then it'd be perfect!

Like it! Good game! But it was lagging a lot.

Developer(+1)

Yes we sadly haven't had the time for optimizing/ graphic preferences therefore the game sadly needs way higher cpu/graphic power than it should have. We hope you still enjoy it even if it lagged but we are sure to optimize and fix the game after the game jam voting period ended

Rated nice Game!

Lovely environment and art overall. Had some fun playing it.  Good job!

Lol! Cute game. I liked the little froggies. The text changed a bit too fast for me to read the full thing but I enjoyed what I saw! After I made the youth potion, the game closed itself. I'm guessing that was intentional? XD I didn't finish reading the text so not sure!

Developer

Yes, it's intentional something has changed when you open it again. Sry for not implementing text speed settings! And thank you for your revew and time!

Very very nice, but you don't make me kill these little froggies, they are too cool. Interactivity with wand bucket and water feels cool, and overall art presentation is great

I liked the 3d art! It felt very lived in and fun to explore! Good job!

I liked to stumble trough your little game. I didn't get the instructions and just poked everything with knife and wand.

btw, this is not how worms look ;)

nicely made =)
