Lovely game with a great visual style and theme. Games were fun and all felt different to each other, nicely done!
I really likes the art and mini games, I do think that the instruction period before the game starts should be longer. good job!
I really liked how you implemented the 'Alchemy' theme, I see others had the same problem of not getting how the minigames worked at first so I won't be commenting on that. It's really nice to see the interest you put into researching alchemy, very good job! ^_^
Nicely done ! Really interesting minigames !
(I kinda lost every time I played a new minigame because I couldn't read and do the game in 3 seconds though (^^") )
One of the most original approaches to the theme i've seen so far, the setting is really interesting and beautiful, i thought the puzzles to be a bit hard the first time around.
congratulations on such a great work
A charming little game. I was a bit confused in the beginning as I couldn't figure out in time what needs to be done, but I eventually got the hang of it. Cheers!
