Have I mentioned how happy this game makes me? :)
I loved the fact that I had to figure out the recipes just like someone's first day on the job (uh, yeah, im an alchemist)
This kept some mystery and challenge if there were a recipe list the game wouldn't hold as much of my attention and the reward for finding the recipe not so sweet.
This is exactly the types of games that I play, challenging, rewarding, no time pressure.

ReasmblI thought this game was very neat, I just personally suck at these kinds of puzzles. The hints definitely helped in most cases and overall I thought the concept was super cute! I like the story you came up with and alongside the music in the game itself and the lil' background animation, there were some nice details overall! Great foundation and you could totally even make this into a mobile game if you wanted to, would be a great idle-time kind of game!

Trace Elements (Jern Jam 2 Entry)Yeah the game is called Alchemist. I loved that game and I thought what if you had to make certain things in a time frame. Yes I heard it was hard, unfortunately I was unable to create a recipe page in time for discovered stuff. Also did all my own art so couldn't add more stuff since I'm not an artist. I am debating working on it more to make the version I wanted to make.
I really had no clue how to get woods :X But fun little thing in the first glance I thought it was just another clone of the whole alchimist games out there. But the hook that you have to build somethign specific is cool though.

Clockwork LifeReally nice game.
I really loved the concept and the sound is great.
Took me a-lot of failed attempts to get a grip of the crafting system but its a super fun mechanic that is very satisfying when you make a reciepe! Plent of aha moments, well done :)

Jern Jam 2 - Drop BallYeah this was fun. Ended up making spices. Managed to get a sapling at one point, but don't ask me how! I got so confused, ended up making a spreadsheet to try and track recipies.. got more confused. Good premise, nicely executed! I'd like to be able to buy recipies, or perhaps the hints could spell things out a little clearer for newbies. Well done!

SomeAssemblyRequiredI really enjoyed this game! I loved the crafting system. Some of the recipes were not intuitive to me (beach + earth = sand). But, overall a solid execution. I could see this being a mini crafting game mechanic in another game.
Nice work!
