Investing into a candy estate seems like a good idea at first, but in the ends it's a nightmare to manage! I really like the mood of the game. From the fairy tale book at the end to the drawing style, and the children voices asking for candies.^^ It has a lot of charm! The mouse controls work really well too! I did not understood at first that the witch was following the cursor without the need of a click, but once it was assimilated it was really smooth to control. The game itself is pretty fun, and more challenging that it looks like. The main problem I had was not being sure if I could use the cauldron of not yet, but since there is an audio feedback it wasn't that bad. Overall I had a great time playing it. Nice job!

hah really interesting reversal and interesting, simple gameplay. One nitpick from me is that font is quite hard to read

Nice & cute!

I like the way the tutorial is presented as a fairy tale book, it fits in well with the style of the game. Those kids get annoying really fast though. Makes it more satisfying to cook them, so no complaints from me :3
