- Based off of the tutorial and GDD, I wasn't able to make any more marks than the center one. Pressing alt also erased my progress. Couldn't figure out how to make more spots. The grid layout looks nice. The music is nice. I also liked the implementation of the potion smashing sound.
- Interesting game mechanics, I've not seen a game like this before. What was your inspiration? I checked in the GDD but didn't see that section. The GDD mockups are good. It's always good to try and pre-plan before making the game. Something to keep in mind. Having a menu with controls in game is a good idea. Takes time out of your game jam 2 week period to do that, but improves the player experience. I was a little confused on how to play when I first jumped in, however. One area of improvement may be the new player experience.
