- Good application of the alchemy theme, but would love to have seen more with shadows outside of the enemies being "shadows." you can replace the enemies with anything else and it would not change the game. Game ran smoothly, though there was not many ways to really attack the enemies outside of the fire potion and only in one direction. Would be great if you could aim the potion. Overall, it was a nice game, good job!

The game has good visuals and I think I understand how to play this game in a minute.
But the game feels slow and it takes quite a long time to make something happen.
I like the game but I am no means a flower expert to say what flower is what haha. Could it possible to add a cheat sheet by pressing tab or when the text comes up it shows the flower? I think a bit of a helping hand would go a long way in the game.
thats a great idea, thanks ill add it in a couple of hours 😁
Hi, I added the cheat sheet, check if you like it 😊
Great addition however the full screen I forgot to mention is also an issue. Can u make the view port of the game 1280x720 for optimum Webgl gaming?
sure ill do that
Well polished and runs smooth as butter. A tad simple perhaps, I kept wanting some kind of combat against the ghosts but no combat is fine I guess.
Hey, thanks for the feedback.
I'm looking to add either a aoe blast when pressing space that kills the ghosts or dropping a exploding potion if there is time. What do you think?
Definitely an exploding potion - would mean potion crafting is still the main mechanic.
Added that exploding potion and it was definitely needed thanks! 😊
Love it
