- I understand the correct version did not update, but unfortunately, I cannot judge that version. I feel you have a really interesting angry birds style game here. Sadly this version didn't have sound, not levels beyond the first, and the reset button didn't work.
- A different take on Angry Birds. Great job making the game! I hope the game jam was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I never did get the potion to auto reset - I'd have to refresh the page. Hope to see you in the next game jam!

Tell us about your game!
Wizard with a Potion Launcher is an angry birds-type game where you launch potions you crafted at shadow cultist structures to destroy them and the cultists.
MECHANICS:
There are two main mechanics:
1. Crafting potions using a UI menu. Different ingredients yield different results!
2. Launching potions with a potion launcher, then clicking to explode them when they are near enemy structures.
CONTROLS:
The game is fully controlled by the mouse, with the right click doing all the actions. You can restart a level quickly by pressing "R.".
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was not able to implement controller support, as planned in the next build.
STORY:
The story is about grieving after a loss and how we, as humans, often react to bad things happening around us in unhealthy ways. The story delves into the topic of forgiving yourself.
Also, practically all of the story is told through imagery, as I wanted to avoid walls of text in order to create an atmosphere of shadowy mystery.
Extra Notes
I am uploading this some time before the actual deadline so game description might differ from the one provided on the game page. Please refer to that one as the true one since I don't know if I can edit my submission text.
Thank you so much for making this game jam happen and I hope you enjoy my little creation.

Mom, can we have Angry Birds?
We have Angry Birds at home.
Angry Birds at home:
But seriously, you guys pulled this off, it's great. Sad this version got borked after upload. I hope the judges overlook this, and rate the working version (although you didn't seem to submit the working version, and if you submitted it after the timer ran out, there's a solid chance you're out).
Probably not intended, but even the working version has just one level. I see the description mentioning potion crafting and such, it's either supposed to be inbetween the levels, or I'm just the blindest man leaving comments on people's games. I did not see it.
Thank you! The crafting mechanic unfortunately didn't get implemented.
Nicely done. I could see spending hours on a game like this. I definitely spent my fair share of time on angry birds back in the day..
Thank you!
