Not sure if there was much to do with the potions, but the effects were pretty funny, and I liked that the familiar would frequently bring more things to play with. I would have loved some sort of goal to work towards.
Cool concept and awesome art. It would be cool if the familiar could also find me some recipes XD
I did spent a lot of time trying out the combination of two ingredients but later read your potion guide and learnt that this won't work. The next step would be some hints in the game. I like your artwork.
Well there is a message saying "Try adding more items next time" when you drop only 1 or 2 ingredients. But it definitely needs more hints indeed :/
It's great! Really polished for this short amount of time. :-)
Somehow, I did switch to this binary strategy after trying out somewhat three potions without success. In Germany, we have this word "Beratungsresistent" what means "has a resistance to advise" so that was what happened to me, here! :-D
I’m bad at potions :D I would have loved a spell book to keep track of potions I’d already made. Nice work, cool idea!
I had a great time playing this, though I have a feeling my familiar didn't. The artwork is great, especially seeing all the modification to the familiar, and all the potion effects are fun! I like that the hand shakes the more suspicious potions you drink. I'm sad to see the placeholder potion doesn't work (I was wondering where all my bottles were going) but I saw the effect in your comment and it's a very cool idea. One thing I noticed was (SPOILERS) if you explode your familiar while it has wings then the wing sprite can stay behind until it comes back.
Nice drawing!
I like the artwork and It's fun to experiment with the different effects. The text description for when you freeze yourself was pretty funny. Also I managed to obtain a placeholder item somehow
The placeholder item is a real item, too bad you didn't make the placeholder potion out of it, it's my favourite one :D
Ah, actually there's a bug and you can't make the placeholder potion :( It had this effect:
Everything I cook made me sick… Yeah, sounds about right :D
Poor familiar didn't like much of what I was making! Great art and enjoyed the puns in the item descriptions
