- GDD The pace of the GDD seems good. Would love to see more in depth of the art design or game mechanics. Game The menu seems great. Perhaps having an setting menu would be good for those with disability? Perhaps slow fall, so people can react to it and other things. It would be cool to customized the wizard. I like the small animation of the potion going into the pot. But game win / game over is the same. Perhaps make small scenes than text in a overlay, so it actually shows emotional value.

It is a simple catching game. Just use arrow keys to control the character and place him under the falling potion, so he could catch it. Game has a story mode (sorta) and an endless mode.

Solid game! Nice work!
Thank you!
Best game on the game jam! So satisfying :)
Not sure if it's really best, but thank you :)
Controls are not apparent before you start the game and have to guess and the movement is a bit jittery when moving and stopping.
Thanks for the feedback!
I added controls info to the description, didn't find time to fix movement and add controls page to the game menu. As for jitter tho, it runs a bit better on windows, then in browser.
