Nicely polished visuals and solid gameplay. Not sure if there was a way to reopen the recipes book, I ended up having to guess them!

How does the game fit the theme?
Will your brews bring fortune or disaster? Will you run your shop into the ground?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
A handful (about 50%) of the sound effects were modified from pre-existing sound packs, and the keyboard icons were sourced from a pack. Everything else was made from scratch.

Hi! Good visual in this game that feels like overcooked. Like the way that the potions recipe are only added once you find them!

Until the WeekendVery cool overcooked clone. Visuals are great and sound design is neat.

Clocking inThe Overcooked titles are some of my favorite games, so I enjoyed playing this! I like how you can stir the pot to make things go faster. It's a little bit difficult figuring out the combinations for the different potions, but with some tweaks, I can see this being even more enjoyable. Well done, and good luck!

What The TruckThis game is a lot of fun, I wish that the interactibles would highlight or something, I kept picking up the clover instead of the bottle, as well, I wish I could see the recipes, I kept losing trying to figure out the blue potion.

Love OverboardThe difficulty curve is a bit weird. I had like 8 red potions in a row so it was super easy and boring, and then suddenly I have to figure out a bunch of new potions and lost super fast. Tried again, this time it was only like 2 red potions then it changed, but it was easier, and then at some point there was one where I just had to experiment to get it?? One hidden ingredient. Idk, I guess you gotta just sacrifice a run to try to figure it out but that was too much for me :(
Edit: The game is really cute and rather fun for a while though! But it gets a bit frustrating with the sudden cruel difficulty spikes :(

Autoclick TDNice little jam game!, good work getting out a nice finished game.
Pros:
-Graphics are cute as
-Audio is int aggressively loud and high pitch, its nice and mellow, everything feels responsive with audio
-Game play idea is great!
-Love the use of tables to help prepared some items, good thinking!
Cons:
-Too many potions too quick
-Some potions look the same whilst being different (maybe add sparkling effects to some to differentiate :) )
-Took some time to understand why the book at the beginning disappeared so fast. Thought i was missing a UI element somewhere until i realized its supposed to disappeared. Maybe a UI prompt to show that "*poof!* its gone forever!"

Shipping TippingReally cool idea, I would work a bit on the difficulty curve a bit though, it feels like too many orders pop out at once, I think making it a bit more fast paced, and having the orders come up less often but for shorter would be better, cuz you can get overflooded real quick.
I loved the idea of having to figure out the recipes, makes it interesting

Ana The TraineeThat was a hell of a game!
Reminded me of the good old flash-games times also...
Would like to see the shop, where you can upgrade your player and equipment using money.
And I will be grateful if the character will run by default because my finger kinda hurts when I press SHIFT for such a long time. XD
Nevertheless, really great work!
Can't wait to see updates or some other projects!

Drink'n'DriveI loved it! It is the best game from the jam that I have played untill now. Congratulations!

Apprentice’s TrialLoved the game! It was fun figuring out what went together and created the correct recipe and the art-style was delightful :) I also really liked the writing at the start, it set the mood and got me engaged instantly.
If I were to give some feedback it would be that it would be nice to snap towards interaction points a bit to make interacting with the correct station a bit easier.
All in all I had a great time and think you did an excellent job! (ps. the tutorial bit was pretty funny ;) )

DevoirCute art style, had fun brewing various potions. And god, I love the music theme! Remembers me old gameboy themes. Tell me can I listen it outside game or download?
Submitted
The Villain's DeckVery cool Overcooked-like game! I definitely felt the anxiety running high, as always. Great job! Btw, I'm shocked to see 52 ratings, you did very well
