Describe your game jam experience in a haiku.
Me:
I am an artist
This was my first time coding
Tough under pressure :'D
The Game:
A cursed land of snow
Can be made so much better
With a simple brew.
List anyone you'd like to thank!
Thank you @KeaneWa for the emotional support as I tore my hair out at the errors in the console 😂
Was your game made entirely during the jam period?
Yes, all art, coding and planning was done by me during the jam period. The music is a royalty free track.

The presentation is great, finding out the combinations of ingredients was tough but overall it was very fun and atmospheric.
Thank you!
Awesome game idea! I really love the art in this game, its so cozy feeling. The music really helps the game to feel warm, and the overall atmosphere is great. My only complaint is that its very difficult to find what things make what potions, but that might be the whole idea so idk. Great game!
It's not intentional, I absolutely want to make it much easier to make brews in the future. Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words!
Firstly the art is very striking and beautiful. The brewing mechanic is simple to understand and fun. I had some struggles trying to find the right combinations and the hints at ingredients in the characters dialogue were sometimes misleading. Some mixing animation would add to the brewing screen. The sound working perfectly with this game as I had fun playing it. I also suggest that since this is a prototype you should add a way to farm or collect the ingredients yourself to add a greater sense of accomplishment. Finally a recipe book for every time a new recipe is found by the player as I would forget ingredient makes what brew very quickly. Check out my submission if you get the chance.
Thank you for playing and for the suggestions! I'll check out your game now ^_^
the art is so good! if this was your first time coding, this is amazing! there was a little bug where the mouse was a little bit off, and it would grab the wrong ingredient, but it might have just been a problem with my tiny little laptop. the game was really fun and the characters are very cute.
Ooh that's interesting, some people are encountering a bug where the mouse can't drag at all, so if for you it does work but it's misaligned, that could be part of the same problem, thank you for that info! Thanks so much for playing!
first game jam? You have nailed it!
Very well done! Finishing is the hard part.
I like the artstyle of the game, 5/5 for you! I liked the game to make different brews.
Again good job!
Hi! It's not my first game jam, but it's the first one that I have coded (I'm an artist, so usually I always just do the art and someone else does all the coding). I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
