- GDD The pace of the GDD feels good. I enjoy the gifs and how ya have described the in each section without going too low or too overwhelmed which is good. But I think it need an conclusion / minimum viable product to round off. Game The game feels fun. I like how ya can swap between normal world and shadow world, but I dont feel much of the alchemy side of the theme?

Short and sweet twin-stick shooter. Try to complete the 3 levels as quick as possible while accumulating coins to increase your highscore.
At any point you can switch realms ("shadow" and normal). Enemies have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the realm.
You can combine ingredients together to create powerful single-use items.

Very nice art and switching between realms is really cool!
The art and the music are amazing! The gameplay is very catchy.
Awesome concept. Excellent art. Lovely, clean, well polished and good fun!
The artsyle is really good and the music really fits to the theme of the game. It took me a while to understand but combining items and changing between worlds for enemy weaknesses are really cool, good work!
This was fun.
I really liked the snappy music and menus. Gives off a real fast-paced stick shooter vibe.
Then in comparison, the default walk speed seemed really slow and unable to keep up with the music. After finding the speed increase item I more understand, but maybe a slight bump to the default speed might help the initial pacing / feel.
Overall very cool. I like the no explanation and work it out for yourself style.
Really cool concept !
Took me a little while to understand what i was suppose to do appart from shooting enemies ^^
Little feedbacks : I wish I could aim & shoot with the mouse & the bullets could be way bigger (hard to see as it is)
Apart from that, really solid entry !
What a fun concept! I love your interpretation of the theme and the art is great :D
Really good work! The art style is super cute and the combining mechanic is very unique. I had a lot of fun playing the game!
Thank you for the kind feedback! It was a lot of fun creating this one.
So there was little to no info when playing the game to know what to do and felt that its missing that instructions element at the start.
