- What a cute little lizard guy. What you made here was simple, but engaging for your first game. I did not see any indication of the theme in the gameplay itself. Sometimes the terrain would hinder your movement, which could be frustrating but does add an unexpected layer of difficulty. Overall good job for your first game! Keep going!

Tell us about your game!
This is my very first game and I apologize so much is missing but we'll still be working on it!
Alchemizard is about an alchemist lizard who has to save his sky island homeland from a chilling invasion. The main mechanics are based around being a cold-blooded lizard who needs to avoid shadows and use warm rocks (sunstones) or potions to stay warm. New methods of traversal or dealing with enemies and roadblocks would be gained by finding secret alchemy scrolls and the ingredients for them. I couldn't get the alchemy done on time either but we're going to keep working on this!

Awesome little platformer you've made here for a first. Curious if you did the art as well? Works nicely as a browser platformer. I would like to see how the potions end up working once you implement that system in, and I think the idea of having a cold blood lizard needing to keep warm is a cool take on the shadows prompt.
I will say I think this game would benefit from some more secret paths or hidden areas, think it would add some nice variety into it rather than just being a more linear platformer.
Overall though, awesome submission, great job for a first!
Thank you for checking the game out and saying all that! We did do the art, and in the GDD you can see more sprites we've made for the future!
I totally agree about the secret paths and potion mechanics, I ran out of time before I could fix those systems and make it more fun. We really loved working on this so we're gonna keep at it and see if we can update it once the jam is over.
Also we played your game and were blown away. Everyone who worked on it has to be very talented because it was so fun and funny, great job!
Fun little game with a cool concept, tight controls and cute art. Well done for your first game!
Thank you for playing! Your game was incredible btw, I was blown away by how cute and fun you made it in such a short time!
