- Good job planning things out in the GDD beforehand. What is missing however is some information about how you have interpreted the game jam theme (shadows and alchemy) in your game. However, playing the game itself I can see how you've tried to implement the concept of 'alchemy' and changing one thing into another - but how are you interpreting the 'shadows' aspect of the theme? The graphics are simple and appealing, the music fits the gameplay, and the game itself is fun to play. Well done!

Strategically drop orbs and catalysts into the cauldron to build up combos and score points! But watch out, if an orb is pushed out of the top its game over. How many points can you score in this cute arcade style game?
Controls are simple, A/D to move left and right. Space swaps between current and held item. S drops your held item straight down int the cauldron. Group same color orbs together and drop a catalyst on them to charge them and change their color. If the group of charged orbs is more than 5 they will pop and earn points. Every few turns a new row of orbs spawn at the bottom of the cauldron. If an orb goes over the water line game over.

I hope you enjoy it :)

So cute, I love Biscuits :o
Nice, engaging sound effects, classic gameplay, well made and not buggy. Very cute entry. I think I will come back after the jam and try to get the high score lol.
I made it to 4460. very fun game.
Really well done, congratulations ! There is definitely an audience for those kind of games. The bubble sound when scoring is really satisfying.
I think the rune system could use a bit more explanation at the start, but I figured out while playing what happen if you do a combination that isn't on the receipe list on the left :).
Fun twist on match 5. Reached 2000. Will come back to play more after checking out other submissions!)
Surprisingly fun little game! Simple, yet there's actually still strategy to it. Also, you did a great job making dropping & matching orbs feel & sound satisfying!
