The freezing the potions mid air before throwing them is a really fresh take on the mechanic and I think it works pretty well for you game!
The art in combination with the music make it really complete. Good job!
Very nice game! Even if it might seem simple, it's very addictive! I like the art and the sound effects! This game made me realize that i have a shitty aim tho ahah
Thanks so much! Something that may be helpful when starting out (for you or anyone else) is to focus on clicking farther out (closer to your targets). This is particularly useful for hitting your mark when you're throwing a barrage! Of course, bringing your mouse further from the center means you'll miss some flasks as they pop out of the cauldron — there's definitely a trade-off at play.
Very apt artstyle and nice music, as well as sound effects (frenzy bubbling is very engaging). I like the fact that frenzy is also a defensive state, because the mice can impact non-thrown potions.
PS: I've got 205 in my best try : )
A simple game but its really fun , Good job !
Had fun playing it :) Especially the when the potion frenzy starts :)
Thanks, Magpie! The potion frenzy is a touch I'm fond of as well. It's actually the product of me playing around with the spawn rate and having one of those "What if...?" moments, haha.
