I think the concept of this game is quite cool, retrying the same fight over and over again and learning which potions work and which potions don't, but I think there's definitely way too many ingredients to keep track of, it would be very hard to learn and remember what each of them do and I mostly just ended up picking them at random and hoping that I had enough ingredients to make good potions. It would be good to be able to see the recipes for the potions and bombs while I'm picking the plants, otherwise I would probably have to write down all the recipes to remember them. The game definitely has good potential, I genuinely really like the idea of it!

Thank you for playing and for the great feedback. Yeah the problem of all the ingredients and recipes was not one I was able to overcome in the time limit. I added a notebook that you can access in your items that has all the recipes and ingredients but that also is very text heavy and not the most intuitive thing to navigate.
I would love to make a way to mark the potions you want to make and have it track what you need, but my programming knowledge is very limited and I rely heavily on plugins people make for the engine to get things done.
I really appreciate your time and look forward to trying your game!
