Game Description
A mage with an amphibious metamorphosis went out into the world in an attempt to fuse their way to become an Alchemist

How does your game tie into the theme?
The Player metamorphosizes (merges) items in their inventory in order to craft the goal item which is required to defeat the enemy. A dice roll decides which inventory slot the item is being placed into which is generated by the mystery bag (button). When a slot is already occupied and the dice rolls that slot again, the Player gets to choose what kind of exchange they will perform.

I couldn't figure out how to craft the poison bottle or whatever

I read the instructions like 4 times and it still didn't make sense :/

(Get glass and mandrake root, click the item in the inventory, arrow pops up... then what?)

I had a really hard time figuring out what to do, and it was confusing when it was the slime's turn. But! I was able to figure it out and craft an acid and win, so it worked out in the end.

Cute graphics and a very nice style, keep up the good work! :D

Very cute with some lovely art! Also alchemy games are a weak spot of mine, it's a theme I really like. I do have one suggestion, the pixel art looked slightly 'blurry' and I'm not sure that was the intention - for some crisp pixel art you might want to set your texture filter mode to nearest next time so it doesn't blur. It has some caveats but I recommend experimenting with it next time so you can get the art to look the best it can!

I love alchemy games, and this one was super cute! The dice mechanic added a layer of unpredictability which was fun.

I was a bit confused how to morph ingredients at first, but I found the screenshot that explains what is needed to create the potion and was able to figure it out from there.

The art and music were incredibly charming too!
