  • Really like the style and the theme. It fits well, which the timers were a bit longer so taking your time in the beginning isn't as punishing. With a small tutorial on what fully to do.
  • I think this would work well with gamepad. And GDD looks amazing.
  • Good idea for a game, it looks pretty and kinda cute. The music gives a dark feeling so it's a good fit. It took me a second to find out the light is responsible for me starting to glow because it always happened when I had a token in my hands so I assumed it had to do with them. I wish dashing was also possible while holding a token but not being able to makes it more difficult of course. I enjoyed playing your game and I think it implemented the theme in a good way. Well done!

Move with [WASD], look for the right colored Rune Shards! Pick them up with [MOUSE 1], and either Throw them or Insert them in the slots on the Alchemy Circle. Stay away from the sun, it's hot!

simple idea but very well executed and cute art style! also shooting runes into circle that where off-screen was satisfying!

only gripe I had is that it just felt a bit easy, got till the 7th level but it doesnt looke like they get much harder at all? maybe there could be places that are permanently in the shadow so you have to take a shot instead of going there? I could also see adding more physics interactions like objects that have to be shot away

The art is really nice, and the game was quick and easy to pick up on and start playing. Great job!
