- I wasn't able to make any potions. For first person games, it's nice to have the option to invert the y-axis. I found it difficult to lift items. The music and art was pretty neat. I think if you were to provide the user with more mouse options, that would help the player enjoy the world you've created. Thank you for the submission. You have some talent!

Cute little puzzle game :> I had fun throwing everything at the cloaked figure and making them drag it around the room even though I couldn't get the cauldron to stick as a hat lol. The last potion was also in a pretty creative spot
Thank you for playing! glad you had fun :) btw, can you share how did you get green and blue? what was your solution?
For green I stacked the table and the cauldron on top of eachother next to the bookshelf then I climbed up the trashpile to get to the high shelf. For blue I just climbed on the lower shelf because i wanted to jump on the hood dude's head but ended up seeig the potion when they went by.
Nice! Like the voice of the cloaked figure. I managed to get them stuck in the box of empty bottles which they then proceeded to drag around the room which was quite amusing. Managed to find the blue one while I was working on getting the green one.
Thank You for playing! Glad you like it! Yeah, glitch with potion box is fun (and a bit annoying) , thats why i decided to leave it as it is :)
It felt like I abused a bug when getting the green one, but it was fun. I felt stumped with finding the blue one, I appreciated the hint, made it much more fun. At first I though I had to like steal one of the Alchemists eyes or something (that would've been fun). But in the end the solution was so cleaver and left me baffled that I hadn't even thought about it. Great game!
Thank you very much for the detailed feedback! I'm very glad you liked it! Idea with Alchemists eyes sounds really fun :) i'll try to use it in next update after gamejam as a alternative way of getting the blue one, thanks! btw, Could you tell me what the bug with the green was about?
I jump onto the table and then lifted the table at the same time as jumping in order to get higher up. I did not manage to do any parkour or anything to get up there. Btw, forgot to mention that I really like the hand and wand and how it animated when lifting things, it really adds a lot!
Well, it means you found another way to solve it! This is exactly what i was waiting from players. i got only two possible ways how to obtain green one, (building tower from items to get on the shelf or using another object grabbed from far distance to push potion down from shelf) now im definitely going to check your way with table xD
I managed to sprint jump straight from the table to the shelf and then from the shelf to the top of the bookshelf to grab it. self levitation is smart haha
unexpected magical outcomes xD
