- Funny game made my day! Great art and interesting idea of the game play. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to play and figure out what exactly needs to be done. Would really benefit form tutorial to introduce to game mechanics! Great attempt can't wait for the updates!

Extra Notes
I was sick for 4 out of the game jam days T-T you guys rock. I'm submitting this at around 16 minutes left of time. The Live Score Ui system works offline but not in WebGL, no idea why. The total score and high score is still saved so there's no gameplay issues.

I love the animated cutscenes in this game, they are amazing. I feel like this game is too difficult for my taste because I didn't really know how the alchemy controls really work and I didn't know how to attack the enemies with it. When I got the game over window and tried to restart at level 1, it teleported me to level 5 for some reason. Also inside the level select screen, I selected level 3 and it took me to level 10. The way that you use your alchemy powers to get away from the enemies is a cool idea, and this game fits the jam's theme nicely. The mini-dialogue cutscenes were really funny to watch. Nice entry as a whole though!
Thank you very much for playing! I had a blast coming up with the cutscenes xD I did them all on the last day in a real hurry.
If you found it a bit hard with the blocks, there's actually a cheat-sheat built into the main menu ^^ you can mouse over stuff to find it or just open the settings to see something suspicious ;) Also, the player has no means of attacking the agents as of yet. I wanted to impliment the bomb or at least the touch of glass to be able to destroy agents, but I just did not have the time sadly. I had plans for certain blocks to drop reagents for you to pick up and add to the alchemical furnace to be able to mix bombs as you run around. I have lots to work out for the Godot version next :D this time with proper QA testing!
I understand the frustrations with the score system and level selector being broken, the score system broke for the WebGL version and works on the local version for some reason and the level selector was a last minute add to the game, the buttons had the wrong names in the code cause I copy-pasted it in a hurry and it has been fixed in the local ver. The level selector will be moved to the main menu after the game jam releases the update lock.
Again, thanks for the kind words!
