Loved it! Probably the best game I have seen from this jam.
Nice idea! I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do at first, but the intuitive controls quickly made it clear what the goal was. Although with four controllers I think my brain melts. well done.
Love this mechanic, seeing the particles snap together was very satisfying. I feel like the vibration/particle movement in the pot was maybe a bit excessive.
Will definitely be checking this out post jam, I'm really excited to see what other puzzles and mechanics y'all can think up.
ooh I like this, this has potential for more puzzle elements, great job.
Very unique mechanic for a puzzle game. I was a little disappointed after the last level because I wanted to see more but that's a good thing I guess.
Really cute art, really cool concept, and well executed!
Would love to see some more levels that challenge the player and challenge the concept
Brilliantly executed concept. Could definitely see myself playing endless levels of this game unwinding after a long day. Loved the artstyle too, great work!
10/10 good game
Short cute game, it looks absolutely stunning, and really polished! ~ Do check mine and give your valueable feedback:D

added your game to my list, will give you some feedback!
Very unique concept! I love how the particles vibrate in the pot. The tutorial is also well done. It only teaches me the basics and let me explore in the following levels. Puzzles are a bit on the easier side, but I think appropriate for a game jam.
Great job making the game!
Thx for the feedback! We were unsure if we need further explanation, but we decided to build on the cleverness of the players. Nice that it worked for you
Excellent interpretation of the theme! I would love to play more if you make more. Excellent artwork, it feels all quite polished! Great job!
Thx! We will add more level shortly after the jam.
The concept is brilliant. Definitely the most creative one I've seen. Would love to see more of this game some day.
Thank you very much. We will make more content after the jam for sure
Really, really awesome game. I absolutely LOVED it!
That final puzzle was so satisfying once I solved it, I feel like I could have kept playing stages for the next couple hours, totally having a blast the whole time.
Not only was the gameplay amazing, but the art was also great! I totally love the "sorcerer" "mage" kind of vibe, and this delivered on that aesthetic perfectly!
Amazing game, amazing work. Great job!
Wow, thank you. Glad you like it! We will update a few level shortly after the jam.

My only complaint is that it was quite easy, or without risks. And that's just what games I like playing.
Well done!
thx! After the jam we will make more levels with increased difficulty. Just not found the time for it
I liked this a lot. Obviously a bit short but potential to improve and what is there is really good.
Yeah, I was a little bit short of time. thx for the comment!
Interesting game! I love anything trying to teach science concepts. It looks and sounds good as well, very fitting to the theme. My only complaint is that it was a bit too easy. Otherwise good job!
Yeah, we were running out of time. I will add some more level after the jam. It's like only have the tutorial ones :(
Like it! The story and look of your game let me think of Spirited Away. These scenes where Kamajī first is crafting the bath house incredients which Chihiro then is pouring into these hughe bassins which look similar to your alchemy pot. Good job guys!
thanks glad you like it. I am really in love with Spirited Away. That you mentioned it makes me really happy!
Hello there! You've got an interesting puzzle mechanic going here! And even though there are rather few levels, you explore many parts of your mechanics in them! For improvement, we'd recommend working a bit more on the tutorial/instructions. We hope we can play a few more challenges in the future! Well done!
Thx for the feedback. We are going to add levels after the jam and also improve it in other terms too
More Levels, please! :-)
