- The character was quite slow. I couldn't figure out alchemy in the allotted time. There were no keybind indicators, so I had to smash my keyboard until a menu opened up. After reading about the controls and alchemy, I still failed. Great idea. Really nice art. The ideas fit very well into the theme. To increase your score for next time, a bit more hand-holding and UI elements to help the player. Good luck for next jam -- I know it will be great!

Very neat idea. Was interesting trying to figure out what does what.
Thanks! We likely should have added clearer instructions but I'm glad you found it interesting anyways!
SUPER cool idea, the puzzles felt really good to solve and I felt like I had a lot of freedom as a player with the potions. Very good execution on the themes!!!!
Good to hear! We definitely want to continue experimenting with what we can do with the puzzles in the future
This was quite enjoyable! Took me a little while to learn and understand what I was doing. I hope you further develop this, your use of the theme is quite spot on! I also found deflemask through you, so thank you for that!
Hey BlueBeard22 ! Glad you enjoyed our game!
We are indeed planning on polishing the game further in future and figuring out a way to introduce the mechanics in a more intuitive way. There's an infinite number of possible puzzles with this system, so expect more going forward ;)
Thank you for your comment and good luck with your submission!
