Took me a few tries to realize that I could throw things into the abyss to craft minions, but once I did it was pretty neat. The artwork on the player and enemies looks pretty cool too. Nice work.
I beat the game! Once I figured out how to play it properly, it was a really fun and well-designed game. Hopefully I'll see more game from you in the future :) This was sooo good.
A cool little game, but I never figured out what i was doing. after loosing the game once while wondering how to get more powers i read the game page and learned there was an inventory?
I'm still not sure if i can craft or get new items?
The art was okay, my favorite art was probably the player. The enemies looked a bit odd.
Sound/music was a bit lackluster, was hoping for more.
Overall it looks like you ran out of time,
I'm sure if you put more work into it, it could become a really cool and fun little game.
If you'd like, check out my entry!

Simple and fun game! I was wondering how the cauldron was used to craft until I realized from reading the comments that I needed to toss elements in there to summon warriors to fight for you (I feel like I should have easily figured that out on my own... dohh!) In any case, I enjoyed seeing my warriors crush my enemies and growing bigger and stronger. >:D Good work!

This is visually nice, but it's hard to kill anything since you hardly do any damage and the elements at the beginning aren't powerful enough to kill something effectively. And it's a little hard to figure out if there was any crafting or not since there is no explanation on how to do that. But it's fun for what it's worth!
Thanks! Finishing the art and mechanics sadly took all of my time, so I had to release the game in a very „obscure“ state. I would have liked to at least add some more hints of what to do, if I hadn’t run out of time! If you want to try it again, go left and toss some of your items into the abyss at the start to use this game‘s „crafting“ (results depend on what you toss in, and how much of it).
I played it again knowing now how the crafting works made it a little more enjoyable! And I actually won that time around (^w^) I would suggest mentioning the abyssal cauldron is to the left since I was expecting a "cauldron" and not an abyss (XP) So that part maybe my fault for not figuring out. Good job, and neat concept!
Yay! Thanks for playing again! I'll edit the page to mention the cauldron is on the left, and I'll check out your game later on! Thank you!
The art really interested me. it looked cute but kinda creepy , the only problem would be after you catch all the powers in the start i used them all without killing anybody and after that i couldnt do anything except taking damage.
Thank you! Making the art and finishing the mechanics sadly took all of my time, so I couldn’t add any hints of what to do in game. If you want to try again, throw some of your items into the abyss at the left edge of the map, which acts as the game‘s crafting. Results depend on what you toss in, and how much of it!
Okay i tried to play it one more time haha its quite fun actually, well i guess we all run out of time.
Thanks for giving it another try! I'll be sure to check out your game later on as well!
