How does the game fit the theme?
You are an amateur at alchemy, but you have to brew a potion. Surely nothing can go wrong, right?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All assets were made for the jam, except for editing a few free sound assets from freesound.org for the sound effects.

The idea is very nice and well executed. Some outcomes of the potions are really fun. Some UI or explanation would have been nice, but it's not so important. But what really outstands here is the art and the music, both are really good. Congrats for the good job!
Love the art and the idea, I would add some guidance for the ingredients, perhaps like a small description of each ingredients on the type and the effects
very fun and clean game, only thing i would add is a book/log to show you what youve tried already :)
Does this beard have been grown by a fantastic potion ?
Very Cool, you should add a book where it logs all your attempts
Thanks! Yeah, that was one item on our wishlist that didn't get implemented, we'll consider if we want to add it after the voting period's over.
That was cool. Loved the theme and flash game vibe.
Fun. I managed to find the strength potion and had fun seeing some of the other effects. It would have been nice to have some in game notes or other way of remembering what I'd tried.
Fun and simple. I could see the concept being expanded in a lot of directions
The game was great! It reminded me of "The perfect mix" which was a flash game I played when I was younger.
good game
I had a whole lot of fun! The way each result has a hint as to what may have went wrong really pushed me to keep going for the right answer.
not bad, enjoyed the trial and error
Turning him into a fish was such a funny moment. I can see this being a great proof of concept for a larger game with more features/quests
Very cool game! Controls felt smooth and visuals were also really nice!
OMG!! Im Alchemist too!!
Its Fun haha!!
Simple, fun experience. Trying to experiment with the different items is somewhat thought provoking, though maybe my thoughts are evil cause I repeatedly killed the guy.
Fun concept. reminded me of some of those old barkeeper flash games. Fun game to spend some time
Thanks! Funny you would say that, those games were actually one source for inspiration for us :D
I got the right potion on the third try, really cute concept! In a full game I would love to see new customers c:
I like the art and the interpretation of the theme but i think it lacks a bit of content.
