Cute game with a solid gameplay concept and good graphics. Those potions sprites in particular are next level.

Nice game! It would be nice if the ingredient spawning mechanics were a bit smarter (the game didn't really want to give me snails for whatever reason). Something like a tutorial would be useful, figuring the controls out took me a minute. I like how it looks. Good job!

As a huge PlateUp and Overcooked fan, this scratched an itch I wasn't expecting during the jam. Lots of fun

Great work, a really clever piece of gameplay for GameBoy!

Great!

Didn't find where I could learn some recipes nor memorize them, so it got hard fast. I wish the movement snapped to the grid a little more, some times I ran around the cauldron when I was trying to place ingredients or pick stuff up. Great concept, and cute art. Congratulations

Thanks! The instructions below the game mention the grimoire can be opened with "ENTER".  You can find all the recipes in there!

A recipe game! Very cool it was. Some soundtrack missing, but very nice. I liked it.

I really like this games art style and color palette. Great job!

Very cute game! I became a potion making machine after stumbling a few times at the start haha.
