This is a curious game, I had fun doing potions, could unlock all the ingredients and my highest potion was sold at almost 500.
From not understanding the side and unstable effects to giving exactly what the client needed and was fun to figure out.
I liked this about the ingredients having a few effects and depending on the runes you could change them or overpowering to the max, because the more you progress with the potions, the more you can understand more about how to remove the side and unstable effects.
At the end I was just buying 2 of each ingredient to nullify the side effects or maybe do an extra mix with 3 max when I needed to have 2 main effects.
The runes are good but I found myself only using the one that reverts the front and side with the opposite effect, the one to max power an effect, I see that it could be used if the number of a effect is an odd number, the one that change all the dice can be fun if you want to make your potion in another way. Maybe a run to randomize the side of the cube would be fun since it can open more the combinations or just for the fun :)
Oh, also, when I started, I started to throw away potions and ingredients because I did it wrong or I bought the wrong one, so maybe a way to eliminate all those would be good, or a place to keep it also would be good, this time I threw them all to a corner haha
Also, the unlock system is a bit strange, only because the last 2 cost a lot more than buying them, needing like $200+ to only buy it to less than $10 felt strange, but the last 2 are the most interesting ingredients and I liked that.
I only knew how unstable works because I did a potion like that without the runes, and from there it was easier to understand the system and why some side effects appear.
This could be a more fun game in the late game with more 3D shapes, since you would need to think more about how to remove some stuff or add without breaking the mix.
I played on website so I didn’t see the shadow but the little cube at the corner helped with it.
I liked that the items are just a gray ball that looks like cotton and in general the vibes and visuals of the game.
If the game gets an update, feel free to let me know to play the game again!
Thanks for sharing :D
