  • this game is ADORABLE. I love the little drawings and the 3d models and aaaah, its so precious, also combining the shadows and the alchemy into one mechanic is so smart, you should feel proud about that! I honestly really like this game and am excited to see what you come up with in the future!!

I like this concept of mixing (pun intended) a tower defense style game with crafting. This is an adorable little game. I like the narrative doodles at the beginning too! Well done!

This was really cute! I liked the opening slides that told the story, and I like the mechanic of swapping rooms for ingredients. Well done, especially for 3 days.

I like the artstyle and the concept :3 But I wonder what do you need to do with the cauldron to mix ingridients...

Developer

sry for the confusion. for example the first enemy who attacks you is a shadowbunny.if you dont know the recipe  it is in the book the tutorial points to or story shows you (its meat and carrot). You click meat and carrot in any order then click the cauldron to spawn the bunny which "neutralizes/matches" the shadow bunny. Other recipes you can find in the books "hidden" in the level to progess to the basement for example you need to craft a key and enter via clicking the door.

well done for 3 days. would be great if you continue to work on this. concept is great!
