- Really liked the art direction. The theme was definitely there for alchemy, but not so much for shadows. It was there, just didn't scream at me. The game was playable enough, just got stuck without explanation. I liked the tutorial book, but the help text was covering the bottom part of it. Keep at it!

Finished this solo BUT looking to join a team next time. The theme was a great choice and everyone in this community is so positive which made the jam even more of a BLAST!

Really nice models, animations and especially the story. It's awesome that you made such an interesting story in that short amount of time
Really cool game, I like the puzzle aspect of turning all three items with limited ingredients and having to work out how best to use them!
My feedback would be that it took a little while to work out what to do with the potion once I made it, so maybe changing the blue button to say "activate" or "use" would help with that!
Definitely agree with having more of an indication to use the button so thanks for providing feedback! Super helpful and I really appreciate you checking it out!
