How does you game fit the theme?
You need to help people fall in love with your potions. That way they won't be left alone. You are also saving up money to go on a date with the girl of your dreams.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I did everything myself except for the music, it was bought a long time ago at some distribution, so I have the right to use it.

Solid game, with nice aesthetics and sounds. The concept is easy to grasp and understand, while also being entertaining to play.

I do agree that a bit more story and a difficulty ramp would be nice, so maybe an idea for some future update? An infinite mode with a timer would also be a great idea, as others have already noted.

Fun ingredients and cute voice when they ordered their potions! The game would need something more to add challenge and reward. It would be fun if the customers had requests for what the potion should do, and you had to use some deduction to figure out the ingredients. Then the wrong potion could have strange effects on the customers. But I realise this is far too much for such a short time - just playing with ideas for future development ;)

Wow, this really needs more attention, it's so good! I loved pretty much everything in it: the pixel art, music, sound effects, menus, color scheme, etc.

The only thing I missed, as pointed out by some, is something like an infinite mode (with a timer that increases gradually less for each time a correct deliver is made) or having the story mode getting more and more difficult as the days in-game passes (expanding recipes, clients, and potion complexity, rather than starting with everything available from the get-go).

Great job!

Fun game, and cute!
I think it could use a bit more variety, to add some challenge.
It looks great, and the customers voices

Well done

Cool game, i enjoyed it :D
Maybe adding a time limit or more ingredients would make it challenger, but i like it how it is
Great work, keep it up!

Thanks!

That was fun although I am still not sure why you need the photo, by the end I just only looked at the document haha. Great work and fun game!

Submitted

KuMa4aNDeveloper2 years ago

Thanks for the feedback! Initially, the photo was supposed to be useful, but during the development process everything changed and it turned out what happened)))

Glad you liked it!

That was incredibly fun- got 7/8 potions right! I wasn’t sure if speed affected money, so I started zooming just in case xD

Submitted

KuMa4aNDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

No, speed does not affect, but well done for deciding to try it!)))

Dude, your game was awesome! It needs more recognition! The whole mechanic was very dynamic, and the recipe materials were easy to learn/remember! Pretty good take on the theme!

You're not alone

Gotta love the attention to details, espacially in the sound ! :)

Gameplay is nice too ! Though I would have liked to use the picture customers give you as well, for example the hair color, as for now all you need is in the paper they give you.

I had a good time ! :)

Yes, I also thought that photography is useless. Perhaps it was not necessary to indicate the gender of the person in the document, then the photo would be useful. After all the work done, I decided not to change anything, because it could pointlessly complicate the gameplay and spoil the impression of the game. Thank you for the good feedback!

Cool. More stress would have been welcome. Maybe a limited amount of looking into the recipe book.

This is awesome! Papers please but magic creation. Love it! Very smooth use of moving things around

Hey Hey, Feel free to give my game a go and rate! :)

ToreoleSubmitted2 years ago

this is surprisingly good, only issue i have is the "change room" button being at the top left corner of the screen, when youre going to the right side to prepare the potion. just having the button be on the right side would make it a lot smoother imo.

either way, nice work

It's cool to see somebody else made a game inspired by papers please too! Really enjoyed the game, though do agree with the other comments that it's a little on the easy side. That being said, it's got a really consistent, appealing art style and the game plays great. It definitely could use either the jeopardy of fast paced, race against the clock gameplay - or go the opposite direction and expand upon the potion making process even more. Really liked the game a lot, great work!

Quite a fun little game the documents and the pictures kinda remineded me of games like papers please. was fun to play and a great submission i agree with the comment below to maybe decrease the timer as it will add pressure and increase people making mistakes

Submitted

KuMa4aNDeveloper2 years ago

Yes, I was inspired by papers please, hence the name of the game. I thought about the timer, but I was afraid that people would not have time to understand the game and just quit playing before reaching the end

JulvadorSubmitted2 years ago

Fun litle game, maybe add a decreasing timer to make a potion to add some difficulty?
But i liked the concept, gg
