Very cute.
When you're looking for ingredients, it would be more interesting to have a mechanic where you have to interact with the scenery. Like shaking the tree, scratching the bushes, tapping the trunk, digging in the earth, etc.
Well done for doing it in 2 days ;)
I'm just so in love with the art and the whole vibe of the experience! The final illustration was totally worth the journey, made me feel so happy! Amazing job!
that's so kind! I'm happy the story was worth it.
Cute cute cute!
thanks thanks thanks! :)
so cute and chill! the guitar line set a really good mood. what could have been interesting is to have potion that require multipl types of ingredients to add a little more ressource management to the gameplay. otherwise welldone! really charming game.
thanks for the feedback and kind words! I did originally want to have different ingredients, but unfortunately time constraints got in the way
Charming game, cute art style and nice game loop
1000 coins is too much to ask for to reach the ending in my opinion, I would expect more mechanics to be introduced
But I'll rate my first minutes of playthrough which is what a gamejam game should last, it's fun and calming, so well done!
thanks! I tried to balance the end goal not being too tedious but also not making the game only a couple minutes long, but I totally understand that with limited mechanics it can get repetitive quickly. thank you very much for the thoughtful feedback!
nice work, great and cute art style, i think you can add more for the idea and it will be a huge game !
you can check and rate my game if you want :)
thanks so much!
Forget my previous comment. This game is a 5 out of 5 stars. I LOVE it so good keep going, and remember to work hard for your ice cream. and please consider more levels and such, and possibly a full release on steam.
Haha I'm glad you figured out the mechanic. It means so much that you played it and enjoyed it! thanks for the encouragement.
I love it! The ending is amazing!!!!!!! SO CUTE AND AMAZING! I could buy this game on steam with more levels and maybe a puzzle mechanic! idea: what if sometimes you get a bad guy come up and demand you money. You can choose to give him money or throw a potion at him! I love this game. 10/10!!!
thanks so much for the enthusiasm and the ideas! I'd love to add to the game in the future, and I'll make sure to credit you if I do add the bad guy character :)
So good, the art is amazing and really fits the feeling. The game feels super cozy and has a really nice atmosphere, especially the music. Overall, absolutely fantastic game, and I would love to see it expanded into a full game with more depth. Maybe add in some strategy? I just really love this game and if it was full length, I'd easily buy it for 10$ or more on steam. I can't stress enough how much I liked it, please keep making more games.
I would love to have more time in the future to more mechanics, potions, and characters. this comment made me smile, thanks.
I would definitely play it again, but I couldn't figure out how to sell the potions. The game is AMAZING, though. The artist did an amazing job, give the artist my thanks for making the art appealing. An amazing game all in all. ;)
the artist is also the musician and programmer (me) so thank you!
You art is soo good, I love it.
that means a lot! thanks.
Very nice and relaxing game. It has the potential to be a great mobile game! Great Job!!!
thanks so much for playing and commenting! means a lot.
Loved it. Its a little slow but I dont care I am happy for the mouse.
haha thank you for hanging in there and playing!
Funny and simple, i liked the atmosphere of the game
(<:3
Good Game! Very nice visuals and music that fits together really well. The game feels a bit slow though, it might be a good idea to add some mechanics to speed it up and maybe add an element of complexity in my opinion. Still, Very Well Done!
thanks for playing and giving feedback! I agree and I'd love to add more mechanics in the future
This was so fun! The art style is so cute
:D thanks!
that was fun! i liked it a lot. i wish that i could see the mouse at some point during the game even just a stagnant animation in the corner. and i want to be able to create a bunch of potions without having to click between the shop and potion station every time. even just a "send to shop" button maybe
unfortunately because of the game jam time limitations I couldn't draw as much mouse art as I wanted haha but thank you! I agree with the suggestions.
I love the art, it’s pretty cute. And mechanics are really simple to pick up and play. Would be a really fun time killer
thanks! I'm glad you liked the art
The cute art and soothing audio are fantastic, and It has a pretty unique concept. But I just wish there was a bit more spice to the gameplay element. Nice game overall though!
thank you very much! I would like to look into adding more mechanics as well in the future :)
I love being able to collect, make, and sell the potions. The collection phase was hypnotic with the chill background music. The sound effects were also really good, loved hearing the customers walk up to my shop!
that means a lot! fun fact, the sound effect of the customers walking up was made by me tapping on a roll of toilet paper.
