  • You get a whole lot right in this game. The one thing you didn't do was tell the player they needed to pick up the light to get rid of the shadows. I just thought they were there to disrupt gameplay and that was it. Honestly, having tutorials are super important to games like this. So, I'm glad you had arrows in there to guide the player. You just missed that one element. Great choice of music. Great models. The one minus to the art was that the cash register was suuuuuuper tiny. Keep at it. I like what you're doing!

Tell us about your game!
You play as a gnome making potions in a cave for your needy customers, but be careful, shadows are lurking in your area and are trying to steal your potions! To control your little gnome, move with WASD, and E to interact. To make your potions, use objects such as mortar&pestle, cauldron, and distillation in the recipe order to make your potions and send em off to your customers, but be wary of the time you take to make them, as your customers don't have a lot of patience. Lastly, to defend your potions, grab the torch and wield it towards the shadows to make them disappear!

Extra Notes
Hope you enjoy our game!

This is a great start!  The tutorial just using arrows was fantastic.  I found the UI for the orders a little hard to see but otherwise great job.

Hello, fellow gnome...

I love the overcooked style with the gnome twist! I hate those giggling shadows!
