Nice Movement and interesting brewing mechanic.
Neat potion brewing mechanic! I always like when roguelikes allow for creativity on the player's part. Reminds me a bit of Noita, which is awesome!
Nice idea I like the potion creation and gathering reagents which is nice and straightforward to use.
I did have one issue - sometimes when I brew potions, it also immediately attacks (i.e. it picks up the mouse click to brew the potion and uses it to attack as well) and wastes a potion.
Thanks for the feedback! And thanks for pointing out that bug. It is an annoying bug to solve that I didn't have time to fix before the deadline. I will update the game with a fix at some point later on.
owhh quite nice ^^
Love the idea. Great execution. You should def continue working on this and expand it.
Love it! Potion mechanic is ingenious. I love the mixing and matching of properties. A really great way to combine crafting into a rogue-like in a way that still manages to feels very tight and streamlined. I think you are really just scratching the surface of what can be done with this mechanic, and I could see it being interesting enough to fill out a larger-scale game (think how cool shops would be). My one opinion is that I think mixing shouldn't take a turn, since it forces players to brew ahead of time rather than react to the perils of the moment.
Thanks for you feedback. I am glad you enjoyed it. I had a lot more planned to add to it so I plan to make a longer version. I honestly didnt even think of shops but that is a great point. I almost made brewing a potion cost multiple turns but I decided not to.
