The Art style is amazing! I wish there were explosions though when you put in the right (or wrong) combination. That, or I completely misunderstood how to play the game xD
Ha-ha-ha, you understood everything all right! :D For now there is just a clap sound and witch is making a "nah-ah-aaaah" sound when you blow up the recipe successfully, but we're already working on a proper fix for the post-jam version :D
Great idea! The art style is really cute! Initially I didn't understand if I won or lost the level since if I failed I cannot retry the level. Hope in the future you'll improved it with some cool animations! Awesome job!
Thanks a lot! UwU
The art is terrific and the puzzle idea was fantastic. I missed the B A N G
Thanks for playing! We'll make sure to B A N Gify the game in the post-jam version :D
If there is a game you need pen and paper to play, that's the one.
Art is geourgeous <3
Ha-ha-ha, our game designer (who by a coincidence is me :D) is a big fan of old games where you usually needed to use a pen and paper to solve riddles so it influenced our game a little bit :D
Thank you very much for playing!
Nice little game ! Graphics is cute and nice gameplay Idea :D good job !
Thank you UwU
I really like cats and explosions, but there are no explosions :( Still creative and enjoyable as a little evil cat
Thank you very much!
The art style is outstanding!
The fonts in the game description hurt a little bit. In-game fonts seem better.
I feel like the sounds (voice acting and sound effects) are a bit underwhelming. The clap of blowing up a potion feels like a tiny reward. The sassy hm-m-mm of the witch feels too light-hearted and not at all sad or disappointed.
With this art, I really expected you to manage a credits screen. Shame you couldn't make it in time
[sassy] hm-m-mm...
Thanks for your feedback.
By the way, we recorded the sounds of the witch with a microphone. This sound is background, not a reaction to success.
I'm confused. Was there a sound that is a reaction to success? The clap of the potion (that should be an explosion)?
That was a fun little puzzle! Absolutely loved the artistic style and the actual idea and theme to the game, I do wish that the puzzles were just a little bit more in depth, but solid work regardless!
Thank you very much for your kind words! We had a few more twisted puzzles designed but sadly did not have time to put them in the game but they will be coming in the post-jam version if you're willing to visit us once again!
love the art style! would like to move the cat around to drop things haha
Ha-ha-ha that's a nice idea :D Thanks for playing!
Incredible artwork! Could use an explosion sprite to improve feedback. Loved the puzzle concept!
Thank you very much! We'll be adding the explosion sprite in the post-jam version UwU
Great game with amazing art! Though I'm not sure if the potion was exploding or not. Maybe more Game juice or feedback would be nice. But cool game overall!
Thanks for your feedback! We'll make sure to add the cauldron explosion in the post-jam version ^^
The art in this is absoluetly amazing!! Seriously, very very cute and super polished! The puzzle concept is pretty unique but I was more than a little confused even after reading the "how to play." But that could 100% be user error on my part. Definitely interested in an expanded version of this idea!! Great job!
Thank you very much for your kind words! If you're interested in the post-jam version, you can follow our lovely artist on Twitter as she will probably post the updates on it (and our studio's upcoming full title in the similar style) there!
Great art and nice idea for a game well done :)
Thank youuu UwU
Awesome art, sound design is very pleasant too, loved it, very cute! team cats xd
Team cats! *hugging and high fiving at the same time*
The art is excellent and the puzzles are well done, but I wish the paw's clickable radius was the same size as its appearance rather than being smaller, which caused me some confusion at the outset. I also felt that the generic sound design dragged down the otherwise stellar presentation, making it feel lopsided. In my opinion the game deserved a more whimsical or mystical-sounding song, and I'm pretty sure the explosion SFX is just a drumkit clap.
Thanks a lot for playing and feedback! Yeah, sound design was in the end of our list of priorities so unfortunately it ended up as it is :D
Took a note about the paw thing, will add it to our post-jam scope :D
Clever theming with a really excellent aesthetic. Really like the idea of the inventory object puzzle based gameplay. It might benefit from a bit more feedback to communicate win/loss conditions, but its still a very solid concept with a simple but easy-to-scale core mechanic that's definitely worth fleshing out. Great job!
Thank you very much for playing and feedback! UwU
No explosion. I'm disappointed.
Potion making was confusing. Would be nice if more details were given about how it works so I don't just have to brute force it to figure it out resulting in multiple page reloads because you can't just restart levels.
Stunning art tho.
Thanks for your valuable feedback!
We have added a "Meow to play" section to the game's itch page now so it should become a bit easier to understand the game! Will be adding a proper tutorial in the post-jam version ^_^
I didn't quite understand how to make potions, but I think I won when the lady got mad? Anyways, I really liked the art style, and I would like to play it when it's finished.
Thank you for playing! Yup, if the witch was mad Nero definitely succeeded :D What a naughty little cat they are!
If you're interested in playing the post-jam version, you could follow our artist on twitter where I'm hoping she will mention the upcoming updates with the post-jam version and info about our full game that is currently in production UwU
The art is so stunning on this one! I wish there was more of an explosion feeling to indicate that I mixed the ingredients correctly. Super cute though, enjoyed all the graphics!
Thanks a lot! We will be adding explosion in the post-jam version so thanks for feedback <3
Art is beautiful
Thank you very much! Our artist will be very happy to hear that <3
