The game is very pretty, congratulations. The mechanics however were a bit hard to understand..

I like the idea of the game and the art attracted me to it but I found it hard to understand the mechanics. It took me forever to find the second page with the ingredients. I also wasn't sure what to do with the numbers so it could be nice to add more indicators on what the goal is.

Cute game! At first, I didn't realise there was a second page for the colors, but once I got the hang of that along with the math portion it made everything go a lot smoother. I think the values needed are a bit too high, it took way too much colour for some of the potions, also maybe displaying the target numbers, along with how much you have already put in would help with understanding what to do. Its a good concept and very impressive for 48 hours. The art is also fantastic. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I agree, playing it again after the jam, a simpler mixing system would work better. At the moment the dice value controls both the saturation and brightness (from 0-255) which is definitely harder to manage.

The visuals look great, and the sound is good.
I did read all the instructions, but was still pretty confused. Right clicking, left clicking, ingredients? There is  lot that the game immediately hits you with. I didn't know you could access a second page for a long time. 

I'm still not exactly sure what ingredients do what, or how to activate the heat.  I understand there are "dice" involved but I'm also not sure how the numbers interact with the ingredients.

Hey, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! Yeah…the tutorialisation could use some work for sure. I kept flip-flopping on how the dice interaction should work. All the ingredients you can just drop dice onto to generate a color die of value equal to the input die (0->255 = dark->light), but the fire has to be the start of an equation: Fire -> operator die -> number die. Definitely something I should’ve cleaned up in-game lol Cheers for playing!
