Use of the limitation
Narratively; the players only real enemy is his own anxiety, causing him to wreck his house with potions. Mechanically; your potions do more damage to you than the enemies do, and make the level harder to traverse.

We threw our only cookie in the well for a wish (our wish was for more cookies, that's called an investment)

A real well-made game, cool concept executed perfectly.
Fun concept and very neat graphics, good job!
This is very fun to play and I love that the characters are so full of personality! Nice concept.
The things I enjoyed the most were: the fact that the potions had different effects, the music matching the whole mood of the game, and the whole survival/arcade-y aspect of the game.
For some reason, the game lagged when I set to fullscreen so I went back to windowed and all was good. One suggestion I could give is that I think the potion refill item should spawn more frequently (I died on endless mode because I couldn't find any more potions). And maybe, instead of having a "hard mode" already checked at the beginning, there could be a "casual mode" (to show that the "hard" mode is the way the game was meant to be played but if that's too difficult you can change it to casual and enjoy the experience - like some roguelites do). To be honest, I'm saying this but I'm not sure what is the better option haha.
Anyway I had a great time playing this, it's super fun. I liked kiting enemies into the pools and running around. Great job!
The game is interesting and I liked it.
Cool and fun game! Just need more time to work with the difficulty.
All in all congratulations :)
Just uncheck "hard mode" from the main menu if you'd like a more casual experience :)
Great entry! i really liked the artwork used!
I did accidently click out of the "tutorial block" and missed it all. but i still managed to finish every level :) I like the whole survival style games so, big +1 from me :)
Thanks for playing! Glad you like my art :)
Very well-polished for 72 hours! I love the art and music a ton! The theme and limitation were well-implemented, and it's pretty easy to learn how to play! I also love that there are achievements. Well done!!
This is great! Everything looks and sounds super polished - especially for a game jam game - and the fact that you can do more damage to yourself than the enemies can is a really smart use of the limitation. (Just because you're your own worst enemy doesn't mean that you're your only enemy, after all.) Great job!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed our interpretation of the limitation!
I really enjoyed the game. The mechanics are simple and easy to learn. Having the enemies vulnerable to their own colors helped simplify it. Having the potions be effective against the player is also an interesting way to balance the game. It's also impressive to see pathfinding implemented for a game jam.
Great work!
Fun concept, love the art!
Thanks!
