Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I totally agree with you on that XD
If it helps, you pick up the ingredient for the vine potion from the weird blue thing on the ground, and you can then put a vine potion on any of the green bush things. A vine grows from the spot, and grows only toward the nearest light. You can walk on the vines. Your goal in the first level is to cross the river. In the second level, there are what look light red flowers; those are the ingredient for a fire potion. Throw the potion, and if it touches an area of light, it will become a flame. Just don’t burn the vine you just crossed, or you’ll be softlocked and have to refresh the game.
Honestly we just didn’t have quite enough time to add a tutorial, but that’ll definitely be on our to-do list if we decide to continue the project after the jam. Thanks for trying it out, though!
