In what way does your game fit the theme?
In this game your character throws potions that have random effects like duplicating an enemy or making it bigger and as the level progresses your character gets scared and throws potions more frequently so the level becomes very chaotic.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes all the code was made by us, and all the assets were made from scratch, the only piece of art that we didn't make was the main menu music, that came from a bundle we bought.

Cool Game It was a unique idea I found! It was a lot of fun,awesome!!!...
Thanks for playing it <3 Glad you liked it :D
This was a unique game, I really loved the art style. The potions gets chaotic real fast fitting the theme. Enjoyed playing it :)
Glad you liked it <3, thanks for playing :D
This is an interesting concept. I wonder how far you could take an idea that relies on randomness/chaos because the randomness can feel unfair/not fun. I think with careful balancing this could be pretty awesome. Maybe you can ditch the knives and make the entire thing centered around potions and actually level up your potion crafting skills and have some weird alchemy/action game where you make potions to use as weapons but sometimes there are additional chaotic effects. Cos alchemy is awesome in general :D
Thanks for taking the time to write this, we are planning to keep on working on this idea, so every advice helps us a lot, your idea is very interesting and for sure something we will keep in mind :D
great concept! Loved it!
Thank you <3
Amazing concept really love the approach to the theme... I wish it worked on further after the Jam is over..
Thanks for playing the game, and taking to time to write feedback, we hope to keep working on this one after the game jam is over <3
Really cool game! The jumps are shorter than I would've liked, but that's a personal thing. Everything else is really good tho. I really like the throwing potions mechanics. Well done!
Thanks for playing the game, and taking to time to write feedback, we really appreciate it <3
Love the potion effects! It would be super cool to see even more of them, maybe add an Ultra Chaos mode where you start from the most frequent throw of the potions and add up from there!
If you have the time, do you think you could try out our game as well? It would mean the world if you could rate it :D

Thank you for the suggestion that's something we never tough of, also thanks for playing, glad you liked it <3
One of the best games i've played this jam! Loved the random potions effect and how chaos ensues as panic gets dangerously high!
Good job on this game :)
Thank you :D Glad you liked it <3

Had a lot of fun playing this! I really like the movement, pretty nice and responsive!
Great work!
Thank you for playing :D glad you liked it <3
This one was really fun! The random potion effects were really fun when thrown as a waterfall.
Could have been even better with more potions!
Thank you :D glad you liked it <3
Good game made in a week
Thank you :D
Good idea but needs better implementation (tho I only played the web version)
Inputs are laggy, it would be better if jumps were higher
Thanks for the feedback, we'll keep it in mind
Thank you for playing and taking the time to give feedback, we really appreciate it <3
Potion mechanic was really chaotic, and gameplay felt very smooth, with jumping from one knight to another. Enemies were a little glitchy at times, but other than that, one of the best games I played from the jam. Awesome job!
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it, yeah the knights glitching some times was something I tried fixing but couldn't due to the lack of time haha, but thanks for the feedback and the kind comment <3
Your Game was super fun.Only bug I was able to find is I got stuck on the ledges sometimes.
Great Work!! Kudos!!
Thank you so much :D
Good Job ! It's fun and well polished. Music is awesome ! The only thing is that Chaos is not really present. No matter, nice game.
Yeah I could see that, our idea of chaos was by adding the potions with bad effects like knights would multiplying themselves could result in some chaotic levels, but we'll keep your feedback in mind and thanks for playing :D
Good Job ! It's fun and well polished. Music is awesome ! The only thing is that Chaos is not really present. No matter, nice game.
