  • The is fun, but I had no idea where the ingredients were at the start. The movement needs help as the player walks forward as it goes backwards if it's facing the opposite way it's walking. I would also move the ingredients closer to the fountain to keep the player focused on combat while also being able to keep the fountain alive. Good luck on the next one!

Story

You play as an alchemist tasked with defending your village from shadow creatures. These monsters are drawn to the living people inside the village walls, but they are invisible to the naked eye. To reveal them, you must use a special potion that you've crafted. Your mission is to keep the potion active and eliminate all shadow threats.

Controls

Movement: WASD keys
Aiming: Mouse
Dash: Space or Left Shift
Spells: Right or Left mouse button (depending on the spell)
Harvest Ingredients: Press E
Gameplay

The game features a straightforward gameplay loop:

Enemies arrive in waves and become visible only when they enter the lit area. You can only kill these enemies when they are visible.
Soul Orbs (coins): Used to cast spells and purchase upgrades between waves.
Potion: The potion reveals the necessary ingredients to refill it. The ingredients are located as follows:
Erkroots - Top of the map
StrangleShrooms - Bottom of the map
Darkheather - Right side of the map
Froglegs - Left side of the map
If the blue bar (potion meter) drops below zero, the potion runs out and all enemies turn invisible.
If your health bar drops to zero, it's game over.
