  • Cute and cozy game that does a decent job at implementing the themes. Did run into one small issue where the game froze after giving a second potion of energy to the beaver. He asked for another one and thought he needed another. Overall this was a solid entry.

Ah, a nice charming little game! A bit simple for me, but hey, it's a game jam game, that's totally to be expected. You managed to make a game, and you should feel proud!

My wife and I appreciate that a lot! If I didn't have school and work, it would've been more complex and may have been longer, but hey, like you said, we made a game! Thank you for playing :)

What a fun and cute little game! I really love the little frog wizard. I love frogs and wizards. Who couldn't love a frog wizard!

I really liked the balance of self-exploration reinforced by concrete goals. I could wander around and discover the objective myself then trace that back to having to make the potion to proceed.

TALKING TREE! I appreciate the little extra dialogue if you keep talking to it.

A very fun and solid foundation, would have loved for it to be longer and to see what other potions and problems there would have been to solve. An extra layer of challenge on-top of getting ingredients would have really fleshed it out more but overall I had a lot of fun with this little game!
