A chaotic game in which potions are made to order with multiplying bottles, explosions and angry patrons.

Known bug: *If the wizard looks into the wagon at the start of the game, restart the game (press ESC or alt+F4 and re-launch) until he sits still!*

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Created most assets, Some Unity assets were used.
Soundtrack from Kevin Macleod

Really liked the voice acting in this game, it was a fun listen. The visuals are also pretty stellar, though one thing I noticed was that as more potion bottles spawned around me, the more the game started to lag.

Still though, I enjoyed it - pretty chaotic :)

Really cool! Good sounds, good voice acting, good environement. Really immersive. I got some vibes of overcooked too haha.

I am a bit disappointed to not have the time to focus on the effects after finishing a potion haha. It is like a lot is happening but I am focused in searching the next ingredient haha.

I felt like sometimes the clicks and the hand moving were not the same, but maybe it is just because I wanted to go too fast.

Good job fellow potion maker !

Nice voice acting! The game was fun and polished, felt very complete. Loved the detail of listing the types of potions you created at the end.

Developer

Thank you! Some of those potions were pretty interesting random combos :D

Really enjoyable game. I'm satisfied with every aspect of the game. Will you try to port it to VR? :P

Developer

VR would be really cool! Maybe one day we will! Thanks for playing!

What an amazing game! It felt so polished! Great visuals and the tutorial was nice as well. The music and voice acting were on point, and the game fits the theme well.

It was quite fun to play and the effects that appear when pressing the space button was a good surprise xD

Great job! :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for rating and playing! glad you found the magic easter egg :P

Submitted(+1)

This game's really well done! I love the bug you mentioned, it made me laugh. I wanna also thank you for including a video of the gameplay, 200mb is a bit heavy for me to download haha, I should do this as well next time for the upcoming jam, it was super smart of you to do! If you get a chance, can you try out our game and rate it?

Developer(+1)

thank you for rating! I will play your game today! :D

Very cool game idea. I really enjoyed brewing those potions. Took a bit of experimenting with the controls but once you get the idea it is really enjoyable. The visuals (especially the vfx) are amazing, congratulations on those. The only downside to the game is the optimization which kinda feels nonexistent but you cant expect much from the few time you had to work on it. Hopefully you'll be able to expand this game as it is a really cool idea. Congratulations on your entry!

Developer

Yeah sadly not much time to optimize! Thank you very much for playing!

Well done :) This was one of top games I played from others. I liked the music very much, a lot of ppl don't pay attention to do a proper audio (well, like we in our game :D ). The graphics is excellent. The first impression was pretty chaotic but at the end, I enjoyed mixing potions and managed it quite well. The voice of the wizard is great also - maybe if somebody wants to replay a game, make it possible to skip his intro.

Developer

Thanks for the rating! We appreciate audio too! Yes replaying with a skip would be handy, as much as we love hearing "and for God's sake, don't break anything" in that wizardy voice.

Submitted

If you have some spare time, i would like you to play our game, since we still haven't enough ratings, thx.

Developer

Sure!

Funny experience. I like the visuals, the voice acting, the simple tutorial and the challenge of finding the right ingredients. Also I found out that by pressing 'space' you can generate a huge amount of effects above the cauldron, lol. I guess this was a test tool for the effects in the developement? I feel like a menu/pause screen would be good though because on pressing Esc the game just quits. Overall pretty solid game :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah we left the effects in as a fun thing to find :P
Thanks for playing!

Great game!!

Such a cohesive experience! I felt like it fit the theme very well. It's amazing how much you managed to do in a week. Well done! 

I managed to get 3 stars in my second run. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks :) And well done! It can get pretty messy so you played well to get to 3 stars :D

I have gone back and payed your game multiple times since playing it the first time, I can't get enough of that jump feeling, really nice

Submitted

Awww I really appreciate that, and I'm so glad to hear it!

Great game. Loved the voice acting. had some crashes while playing. not sure why!

Developer

Probably some things we haven't had time to iron out yet! Thanks for playing though!

Submitted(+1)

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen voice actors in a jam game, and they are very good too! The game is also fun, and can get chaotic, Overcooked style, when the ingridients aren't where they should be and you have to guess which might be the right one. Sound and graphics are also above average.

You should definitely try this game, it's entertaining for quite a while and very well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing! We had the perfect person for the Wizard voice haha

Submitted(+1)

Very well made game. Sometimes the potions fall on their own and the game can lag. I really liked the voice acting :), good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing it! Yeah with all the effects we didn't have much time to optimise it!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game, great job! I love the graphics and effects. The gameplay is also very fun, though the game tends to lag a bit. I like that when replaying the potion positions are randomized.

I found out that you can press space to create a random effect, even during cutscenes. You can really lag your computer with it :p

Developer

You might be the only person that has found that so far!

Pretty cool game,  the voice acting was awesome  :0 I think this is the first game In the game jam with that voice acting that I've seen so that's awesome, the sound effect were pretty cool and the gameplay was good, at first I got lost and didn't know what I was doing or if I was pouring the potions correctly and also I started clicking space and tons of vfxs started appearing and I didn't know what was happening haha, but once I got the hang of it, the game was very fun :D

Hey!  Have played and rated.  It would be nice if you could add ingredients one at a time instead of having to have both hands full.  The whole of my first play through I didn't get a single point as I didn't know both hands needed to be full.  Very nice idea, almost like running a magical burger van.  :-)

Developer(+1)

The magic burger van vibe is what we were going for! Thanks for the rate!

This game is so underrated... It is amazing! I can't believe it was made in a week, such amazing graphics, animations, audio, and the voice actor of the wizard... Amazing! Looks like a legit game that I would play any day - 10/10.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! We're having trouble getting ratings even though we're playing other peoples games! :o

Submitted

Same here : (    I think people maybe are just busy during the week. I hope when the weekend comes they are active again.

Submitted(+2)

One of the best games I've played here

  Really good graphics

The sound is really good

A really good job

Developer

Thanks very much! :D

How in the world is this only rated 2 times? The music = 5/5 the graphics = 5/5 the gameplay = 5/5 SUPER UNIQUE  GAMEPLAY. SO effing good. You need to make this into a full scale project. Bravo.

Developer

I think to get more reviews we need to review some other submissions but we haven't had the time! Maybe we will this weekend!

Thanks for the great feedback though! :)
