hahah very nice game. I had a lot of laugh, but i can imagine that on developer site there was more enjoyable creating that gem. Good job :) 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! It was a ton of fun to create. The biggest challenge was decoupling all the code.

I really like the concept of puzzling out the combinations! Great sound design and art, super wacky and fun! I followed the QR code and didn't get scammed! Thank you :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! And WHEW! You gotta watch out with them darn QR monsters! XD

Fun idea! Really love the sound effects and general vibe. Sometimes hard to work out the links between the reagents though.

Developer

Thank you so much! I do agree that my affordance could have been quite a bit more useful.

This game has most definitely put me on a government watch list.  absolutely chaotic wild ride. 

(5/5 GOTY)


Some combinations were easier to figure out than others, and some were pretty opaque! other than that, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a ton! My gaming crew has criticized my less-than-reasonable hints in the past, so I’m not surprised at all that I could have used a bit more “puzzle testing.”

wow that was crazy one. Reminds me of a day the when i playde doodle god or something like that. little bit random for me, but it was cool

Developer

Doodle God was totally one of my inspirations!!! Thank you so much for the play and the comment!

That was a wild ride - The writing was really well done! As some others have said I didn't realize I could or should examine ingredients I hadn't unlocked yet. I felt a little disconnected from why I should performing alchemy or what each solution did for me, but maybe that's not the point of this game? 

Awesome presentation and great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the note! I agree that my affordance could have used more emphasis, and you have inspired me to add a big, “WHY?!” sticky to all my projects. As in, “Why is the player character doing this?” That is definitely one thing I learned from playing these great game jam games is that a game experience can always use more narrative, even if it is just a goofy romp.

You made great funny game <3

Developer

Thank you so much!!

Submitted(+1)

Wonderful game. So crazy and fun.

You are great!

Developer

Omydog! Thank you so much XD

Submitted(+1)

The sounds were absolutely god tier, but I wish I wasn't just randomly mushing ingredients together and there was some kind of formula :( 

Developer

I needed to improve the affordance a little bit. The descriptions of the locked ingredients held clues to the ingredients that would unlock them, but I don’t think I made it clear at all that examining ingredients before and after they were unlocked would be key to success.

The sound effects... man man man :D ppffrrrt!

I love a good mixing and discovering game!

If you have the time, play and rate mine too :D

Developer

Thank you so much! I will pass that along to my sound designer!!

Submitted(+1)
