I really like the art style and the idea of mixing potions together seems pretty neat, but I didn't really understand how the game works. I think having the tutorial talk about where the potions should be moved and what to do after you add the powders to the flasks would help. I also didn't know tab closed the potion ingredients screen until I started pressing buttons at random.
I saw that you had some problems with the build towards the end, so maybe these things were fixed in there. I'd say you should upload that version as well, maybe titled v1.1 or something, so we could play the more finished version
Also, I'm not really sure how the game ties in with the theme of the jam?
I agree, tutorial is not too clear. If you still want to play with more understanding: the block on the left lowers the temperature and the gas burner on the right heats it up. Certain powder is applied if the potion meets the requirements and you put the powder close and directly above it.
It's a shame, but the latest version has more graphics and extra options, but it is also unplayable. The last one before is this version. However, I'll be using git from now on, so my new projects won't be so fragile. Also, i'm not planning to make any changes to this project. It isn't perfect, but for me it's time to move on.
Can't agree on the jam theme connection, though. For me it's pretty straight.
