- Good GDD, I loved seeing the details and plans. Very cool! The ideas and foundations link very nicely to the game jam, and the underlying themes are mysterious & magical with a cool soundtrack! I would love to see more potions and effects and maybe combinations of potions for super effects. Thoroughly enjoyed my little play through. Feedback: Implement a training UI or interaction to the functionality behind the game Add item descriptions to the ingredients in brewing window The game is nicely laid out and thought out, please keep going with this. I would be very interested to see how you implement new items and upgrades to the shop & potions :)

Extra Notes
Though the game is fairly short, and I'm pretty exhausted from making it, I'm super happy that I was able to submit a completed project for my very first game jam! This was a solo effort, with about 3 months of experience in Godot.

great music, fun art style, love the self depricating "ow" when you die
Pretty much the only issue I had was the acceleration feeling like I'm on some kind of super ice zone all the time. other than that it was great.
Such a fun little game, handsome squid expansion when? But fr I loved playing it and the bossfight was a great way to finish it off. gathering ingredients then searching for recipies to use them in is a fun mechanic. Great submission for your first jam ^-^
