Nice game! I really love the art and music. Good luck!
The sprites and environment are lovely! It's fun going around collecting foraged goods. I wasn't sure if the exact order of the plants impacted the cauldron, but it still encouraged me to try out different patterns either way!
Thank you! I am happy to hear <3
Currently the Cauldron only responds to the yellow plants, but the plan behind it was indeed for making different combinations and I am happy you picked up on the alchemy vibe ^^
Interesting game. As I understood, I needed to clean all the mist. But the goals are not clear from the description
Thank you ^^
It’s in the narrative/turorial screen and in the slogan. But sometimes if you click the mouse to rapidly the tutorial page is skipped, next time we will improve this
cool concept! the mechanics were a bit confusing
Thank you! we needed more time to properly balance and feedback this in the game 😅
I enjoyed the artwork, very well done. I though I understand the controls and the mechanics until I started trying to plan, ended up spamming 1 while running around trying to understand what I was doing. I didn’t get a sense that my plants made a big difference overall, just kept filling the screen. The music and audio did mesh pretty well with the style, and overall it turned out well considering you spent the weekend on the project! Nice job!
Thank you! <3
It was a joy to paint ^^
Indeed we needed more time to properly balance 😅
Cute game! Wasn't surewhat I was doing most of the time, but the concept is interesting, that's for sure
Thank you! <3
We needed more time for the in game feedback and a better balance, next time we will improve this ^^
Your game is a commendable effort! The music sets a great ambiance, and both the art style and animation are impressive.
Thank you! <3
Nice aesthetic. I played for a while but coulnd't encounter an end point? Maybe I am just too good ;D
Good first submission, that's for sure.
There is a endpoint but we ran out of time to properly balance this :/ Next time we will try and get this improved
Thank you! <3
Yeah, such is the nature of the 80/20 rule! Good luck going forward :)
Really good attempt! I love the music, and the art and the animation looks good! It was a little difficult to follow the instructions. At one point I had red flowers in my inventory, and I was not able to use them. So, I couldn't pick up anything else.
This might be a bug maybe, if it also didnt work with the cauldron. We will look into this.
The tutorial was a massive wall of text, next time we will try to improve this. currently it was a last hour thing XD
Thank you! <3
Wonderful game! I wish there were sound effects for picking up and putting an ingredient into the cauldron. Besides balancing, this game is very pleasing to play. Good job
We indeed ran out of time for proper balancing and I agree we should have added the sound effects, next time we will try and get around to this ^^
Thank you! <3
Very cozy and cool game. At first, you get overloaded ( ;) )with the amount of information on the screen, and all seems confusing, but after a few moments you get the hang of it. Good work!
Thank you! I am happy you enjoy the vibe and happy to hear you enjoyed playing 💕
Super neat entry. I love the vibes the overall art style and aesthetic bring!
Thank you! I am happy you enjoyed the vibe and the art! 💕
I'm so incredibly proud of you and RB! You did it! Your game oozes such cozy and mystical vibes. Collecting the ingredients and going wild with the Cauldron is a lot of fun!
I need to take some of those Mist Munchers home...they're so cute. I'm sure they will stop mist-ifying the house sooner or later, right....? XD
Aww thank you! 🦎💕
That will certainly be a DLC somewhere XD
Can’t be played on mobile, only starting the game 😅
