It's confusing at the beginning, but I was able to figure it out. (But it sounds like there's a tutorial coming to address that.) I thought the music helped set the stage, and I liked the potion descriptions. And of course, I like that it's in Fennel. :)

I tried to enjoy it but overall It felt like I had to guess what to do, I spent 3 minutes wondering what to do with potions until I read the page and realized you could pickup rocks. Relying on people to read your itch page is never a good, an in-game popup would be nicer, despite this I love the art, and the gameplay was really interesting once I understood what to do. Overall an excellent game!

Thanks for slogging through!

My plan was to have a tutorial option when you started the game, but ran out of time in the 72hr limit.

The gif was a stop gap. There is an in game pop up ready for the post jam version.

Really impressive, your game has a big map considering the jam's deadline. I was able to brew the elixir of life but I missed some in-game instructions (I often returned to the game page to get any tips).

An improvement would be add a popup screen indicating that the potion we made gave us a new ability. I played collecting all the ingredients and only then, trying to brew the potion. Therefore, I didn't realize that I already had the ability to walk on water and I lost a lot of time running the map not knowing what to do :-(

But that didn't spoil the fun (the page sound when clicking the UI was a pleasant detail). Good job

Thanks for the feedback :)

I’ve been doing some clean up for the post jam version and have added additional popup text for when you brew a potion that will grant you an ability. I’ve also added a popup telling you which potion you are missing when you fail to perform an action on a target.

Awesome, maybe not as much as your last year game. Definitively, I like your style.

Wow, one of my favourite games in this jam.
Only feedback I have is that it is a bit unclear what each potion does, but I do think this could be a great canidate to expand upon.

I did it! I got through the game and brewed all the potions and elixirs (is there a difference between those?)

This game me similar vibes to old indie games from the 90's. Dink Smallwood and Mantra come to mind (obscure 90's mac OS indies...)
