- Loved the art direction, the music loop was decent. The throwing animation needed to be sped up. Also, for first person games, please set a keybind or option somewhere to invert the mouse. I know there aren't many of us inverted mouse users, but it really helps! The theme of just throwing potions is fine, but it didn't seem to matter what I was throwing. There was no status difference, no feedback. I could have been any of them and it would do the same amount of damage. Regardless, the idea is solid and I look forward to seeing this developed! Keep up the good work.

The gnome has arrived. You cannot stop me. The shadow swapping is a neat ability and I like the look of the level. The potion throwing felt a little clunky but I liked the different potion types.
