  • Good job on what you have so far! I would like to see a bigger lean into the alchemy theme. The effects and the music you have here are amazing, I love it! The UI also needs some work. Couldn't read the text where the tutorial is due to a lack of backdrop. All in all, good work! Keep working on it, I'll be looking forward to more!
  • What was there of the game worked pretty well, but with no clear objective or consequence, there wasn't much to do. Good job with what you accomplished, and would like to see what kind of objectives you come up with.

Yes

Tell us about your game!
The game doesn't exactly have a win condition yet, but I figured I would submit it to share my art and music. You can run around as the main character and kill shadow enemies with potions, the enemies currently don't hurt you yet. And you can left click to shoot, right click to suck up the shadow oil that lands on the grounds.

Extra Notes
It was fun giving it my all as a solo developer. I expanded on some old art and old music to make what I did in the game jam, if I had like one more week... lol

Good job on the animations and music.

Thanks so much!

The animations are great.  The gameplay is a little too repetitive for me. 

Developer

Yeah, I had more plans but not enough time after making the art/music
