The art was super spooky, in a good way.
Maybe make a way to dodge out of the way? You can kinda get stuck between 2 of the monsters.
The potion mixing was cool though.

- Nice job, very Limbo-esque. Color mixes made sense, though the #1 Red wasn't on screen while Blue and Green were. I'd label them as well for clarity. I ran into a bug after a couple minutes where a "gold" shiny potion popped up, spawning infinitely and I got super speed and just zoomed anywhere and everywhere. Would love to see more dynamic movement and more enemy 'types' as you continue down development. If you wanted to go that direction, platforming would make sense to me.

I was heavily inspire by Limbo for all the background and lighting to make a high contrast game. The main mechanic of this game is mixing potions to match the color of the enemies, as the game progresses the potions required will get more complicated and the enemies will chase you faster.
For the controls:
Q, D to move left to right (I hope this works on QWERTY keyboards)
SPACE BAR to Jump
LEFT CLICK to throw the potion that was mixed
1, 2, 3 to select your potion ( Red, Green, Blue )
Pressing again will deselect the potion
You can mix the colors to match the color on the enemy
Left click to throw the potion at where you are aiming
For reference
Red + Green = Yellow
Red + Blue= Magenta
Green + Blue = Cyan
Red + Green + Blue = Gray
Extra Notes
Turns out trying to polish a game in one day as a solo developer was a massive mistake.
