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.

Welp, once potions start hitting knights, things certainly get chaotic. Once you're at full panic (which you mostly are on the first run after reading text at least), it's hard to see how you can do much, since the daggers only reach as far as the potions. Cool idea, and nice graphics.
Glad you liked it, thanks for playing the game and taking the time to give feedback <3
Awesome idea, good graphics and execution. The chaos is also clear to see. Good job!
Thanks <3
Cool game! Definitely very chaotic! :)
Thank you <3
A really great game! I had a ton of fun trying to beat it (which I did eventually) and had a blast in the process. I think you nailed the theme pretty well, I did get a vibe of some chaos from the potions tossing, but I wish there could be more to it. Regardless, I think this is a fantastic game for a short jam :)
Thank you for you kind comment :D so glad you liked it <3
A wonderful submission! It fits the theme perfectly, it's fun to play, and the idea as a whole is interesting! The main improvements I could think of are pretty nitpicky and could be overlooked for a game jam but just in case you're interested here they are:
The tutorial was great but once I finished I had already reached max panic and was immediately killed during my first encounter with a knight. Maybe the meter could be handled specially during the tutorial and then reset once out of it. Also, it would be nice if after the first run the tutorial section was skipped over.
That's basically it, great job!
Thanks for playing and taking the time to write such a detailed feedback, we really appreciate it, and we'll keep it in mind <3
is a great game if add some history maybe it can be even better game like the classic: "princess in danger i have to help her" or something like that...
Thanks for the advice, we'll for sure keep it in mind <3
Great concept, really liked the clear instructions. Really great stuff.
Thank you :D
The graphics and animation are awesome
Thanks :D, glad you liked them <3
The game was nice but kept on going to the menu so didn't finish the game
Sad to hear that, but I still hope you enjoyed the game <3
Really unique idea!!!
Thanks <3
That is kickass cover art! Cool idea for the theme
Thank you :D
Wow that's a nice idea! I like the graphics :D
Thank you :D
Realy unique idea.....very fun to play, everything is great except maybe to increse more jump and bigger knocback i got hit from knights like 3 times in less than second :)
Glad you liked it, thanks for playing and taking the time to give feedback <3
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
