I accidentally hit the play button before seeing the tutorial. That was a major mistake. After reading through the tutorial, it was much more playable. However, there wasn't anything telling the player why they would want to mix an ingredient with another. Sound feedback would be nice. Also, the keybinds weren't intuitive. I think with a bit of polish, there's something to the idea behind this game! Good job!

It's a little game where the player can collected gunpowder and magical scrolls, craft them in a house, and defend said house from an onslaught of creepy shadow guys.

Twin-stick shooter: WASD to move, arrows to shoot.

Remember you can't shoot from inside the house.

Potions are made by bringing powder and a scroll back to the house, and crafting using SPACE. Press SPACE again to drink the potion and you will get ammo for a new type of bullet + your character will get a status effect (shrinking, spinning, etc)

Use the ESC key to view the crafting menu! Sadly it doesn't pause the game but it might help. >_<

Have fun! I hope my game isn't too confusing!
