Fun little game. I wish there was more to play. I love little riddles.
It did take me a while to realize I had to click with the mouse pointer and not the end of the syringe. I think a little quick demo of how to use the syringe, and what the possible ingredients are would be nice. Whether it's a demo, or like a super simple first riddle just to teach the mechanics.
And then, more riddles please!
Nice little game.
D
Hi! Yes definitely something that seems to be catching people out, thank you for playing and taking the time to provide feedback, we really appreciate it and glad you liked the game and riddle aspect :D
Nice idea. I didn't quite understand the next step because my English isn't that good. I then watched the YT video. It was something different in a positive sense :)
Aw thank you for playing and glad the YT video could help :)
Wow! It's amazing what you've made in just this short time. top class mate!
Thank you :D
Was a little bit confused at first and the interaction of objects felt weird adding to the confusion. Once i figured it out it was quite cool, nice job.
hehe thank you for playing and for the feedback :)
Once I figured out what was going on I was pretty happy! I'm sometimes slow like that. :)
Cute little game, fun cat paw. I did manage to drop Fred off the table. :)
hehe don’t worry apparently it’s pretty confusing lol, thank you for playing :D
Really fun and cute! I love that you included more than one interpretation of a needle
ah thank youuuu :)
Good Game!
thanks for playing :D
Very interesting puzzle game. There is a bit of an issue with where to click. It took me a while to figure out that I wasn’t clicking in the right place to fill the syringe. I thought I interpreted the steps wrong.
ah yes, it goes by the mouse cursor click - can be confusing but glad you were able to figure it out! Thanks so much for playing :)
The first thing I noticed was the ability to move the zombie, and so I tossed it around until it fell off the table into an unreachable spot XD. Good thing restarting isn't punishing in this game. The physics on it is satisfying, reminds me of those ragdoll games for stress relief. I'm always a sucker for reverse twists to themes. The music and SFX is nicely balanced and complements the game well. The blowing(?) sound effect caught me off guard lol. I enjoyed playing. Thanks for the game!<3
haha feature or bug? ;) thanks so much for playing and for the feedback!
Games where cats are always the best. That being said, i love that my cat arm is super long and can reach outside.
I agree, cats are the best :D thank you so much for playing :)
Gosh, Really cool game and concept, and a creative idea. here is my feedback:
-The SFX and Music are very decent and suitable so really great job on this part
-I really liked the cursor being a cat paw
-I’d recommend indicating in the paper or in any other way that if a player mistakenly took an ingredient, they should press on the cauldron because it may not be clear for everyone
-For some reason the text of the help display over each other which make it a bit hard to read, so try to look into it. check the image attached to see what i mean.
-It was also a great idea to indicate a mistake by a player through the candles (Side note: I noticed that you didn’t make a lose screen and the player can win after losing all lives but this seems intended but it is not that of any issue anyway)
Overall, it is a very great and solid submission, so great job and Keep it up!
Hey Peter - really really happy you tried the game and thank you for taking the time to provide constructive and thorough feedback :) super helpful!
