- The game feels pretty good, music has a nice appeal. Besides cleaning up some bugs,(Got stuck on top of slimes a lot) this would be a good game to continue to invest time into and grow!

Extra Notes
Many potion mixtures were lost due to time constraints and our ability to actually do map design. But we will continue development to add more potions and buffs (even challenge potions to make the game more difficult)
Though we will probably want to look for a pixel artist and foley artist

Also! A note, right now due to there being no light potion, the shadow snake is designed to be invincible. (Not sure what if I can edit the game desc while judging is going so commenting for that
Very charming. I like the main character's sprite, with their little backpack and brewing animation. Also the little touches like "Height (in frogs)". I wasn't sure how to utilize the hiding ability - it seems like the slimes still know where I am when I'm hiding. That snake is a jerk :P
Thanks for the review and playing! Once judging is closed we will add more description on what hiding does. The band-aid for what it does is as follows:
