How do you increase the efficiency?? lol intriguing game! I probably played it a little too long...

This reminds me of that old potion seller meme xD "My potions are too strong for you traveler!" It is a super cute idea and I had fun just mixing things together and seeing what I could make.  I just wish that if I hovered over the ingredients it would tell me what they did without me having to pick them up,  thankfully there was the extra bowl! It would be really fun to see a little alchemist game made with this mechanic!

I had much more fun with this game than I expected. It would be nice if there was a way to empty your cauldron.

Well to be honest I didn’t expect to like this game but after a few tries I enjoyed it way too much. Great game!

I do love alchemy in most games XD  I really liked that you could get random odd combos of things for fun, though it seemed if you had any that you were then not able to negate, that would detract from your score.
Like other commenters I do feel it would have benefited from having a visible meta-goal to achieve other than the effects themselves, as well as a reset button ^_^
Overall pretty, functional, enjoyable.  Thanks for the experience!  Cheers.

I like the aesthetic and general idea. I wish I could correct mistakes! Nice job overall!

The game looks great and isn't too hard to figure out. Even simple sounds add a lot to the experience and the lack of any overarching plot or context limited the replay value. This is an excellent base for a more in depth experience if you wanted to put more time into it.

Love the concept and the open-ended play of it. I wish it had a button to choose whether to redo the same recipe or move on, because I wanted to get some of the recipes I failed at, and there was no way that I could find to empty your potion and start over with the same recipe. But I loved the look and feel of it and the idea. Really fun and got me thinking! I liked that adding more than one of the same ingredient changed what it did.

Very interesting idea. I was felling like making up potion in Skyrim ^^

I like the idea behind it. It is a nice combination of crafting and puzzle. However, I was missing a retry button and/or take back button to encourage more experimenting. It happened to me a couple of times that I was missing just one effect and when trying to achieve it I messed up and there was no turning back. Also some music and sound effects would be nice. Overall, for me it is a game with good potential.

I like the concept, but whatever combination I tried, I always got -100% of quality... I guess potion brewing is harder than I anticipated.
