Love the art - great work on this game :D
I'm going to college!! I loved this. The uncertainty of what ingredients do to damage, durability, and weight makes collecting items and building a fun mystery to suss out. The down time of killing enemies with your newly brandished weapon is clever too, making you feel more involved with the weapon-making process. The variability of the ingredient market makes you question what you really need to. I'd love to a speed run of this haha!
Thanks so much!
What I like most is the added "weapon testing" part to the (at least from what i've seen) common idea to now being an rpg shopkeeper. Another thing that I like is the discovery aspect of your game, where I had to figure out which ingredient contributes to what stat. My only complaint is that sometimes I would get a long string of merchants, and other times a long string of customers with no more ingredients to craft with, but other than that, really solid game!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Nice art and a fairly Simple but fun concept. Good Job!
As others have mentioned here, there were a few minor bugs, though that's understandable given that it's a game jam. Liked the concept and it was pulled off fairly well I think. Also liked the audio design. Well done.
Other than a minor few bugs, great looking and fun to play.
Thanks! What are the bugs you found?
Didn't recieve money after selling something, arrows got stuck on the screen, and lost an item when trying to switch it for something else in the crafting menu. Still very much enjoyed it though, great game!
i like the concept, but i would loved to have some more feedback what ingrediants cause what stats.
Thanks for the feedback!
Neat concept, lovely art. Testing out the weapons is a very good idea.
Fun to play through, even with a few minor bugs (like arrows still flying across the shop screen). Smart take on the theme, and great presentation!
Its very interesting we both had the same theme, but took it in very VERY different ways! The chill and simple nature of the game means you can easily get lost playing it for ages, its a very addicting loop. The awesome visuals and sounds only compliment this further! Although it gets a little annoying having to fight the slime every single time you make a new combo, as its just the same thing every time and doesn't do much. But overall really great game, one of the most enjoyable in this jam!
Super nice, chill game
the music is great, and it's actually pretty impressive that you came up with all those item combos
Great job!
Art was very nice, especially like the minimalist background
Lovely work! Very fun and looks excellent.
Would appreciate it if it was a bit more generous in what they will accept. There were definitely a few times where I gave them the perfect item and they refused!
Fantastic work as usual!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah i've realized that a few of them are way too strict on what they want, which was intended but not to the extent of what actually happens
I really enjoyed this! The craft aspect is a lot of fun :D
A mate of mine, did the very same idea, I also had it at one point. The presentation is very nice. The only issue for me is figuring out how to make what they want. ALso I kinda broke it the first time as I made a bad investment :D
Thanks for the feedback!
Very fun little game! Easy to grasp the mechanics, however it was sometimes frustrating when the customer rejected my items over and over again. Really well put together though, kudos!
Thanks for the feedback!
Simply amazing game, graphics and music are very great!
beautiful game. Really hope you release it standalone
Awesome game! Loved the art especially the custom weapon sprites for each combination and the employee's outfit. The game loop was really satisfying and I played it for a while!
Absolutely brilliant entry, this has so much potential as a standalone game!
