This is such a refreshing game! I love the music, the art, the theme (hip hop wizard fight club). A lot of the UI elements are also very good. I had a gamebreaking bug happen where I tried to make a new dude after buying ingredients and the entire UI was gone and I couldn't do anything. Also, The first time I played it, I was spam clicking through the intro text and clicked so fast I clicked past the main menu, which gave me half a second of the music before it was very quiet. I reset to hear the intro music, but maybe don't let it stop when you get into the game, just let it keep playing, it's such a vibe!
I think there is some more clarity to be had with the item buying system. Explain what salt and sulfur do, it will make it so much more fun to strategise. It is an auto battlers, your audience will want to min-max the shit out of it!
It was also not clear that when my dude was low, he wouldn't heal. I got attached to him and suddenly he started a battle with 0 hp. I didn't find out if you could heal them, but please let me name them and heal them and upgrade them. They are my little guys :x
From the sound effects to the art to the gameplay, this is a gem with so much potential to be a full game. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks ! 🥰
The overall clarity in the item buying system, the recipes and what kind of Homunculus you'll make needs indeed to be improved. We wanted to make a goofy game, but still with a cool gameplay.
Thanks for pointing out the title screen music ! Will add a fading out effect so people can enjoy more the vibe.
Oh we totally forgot about the naming system ! Will absolutely think about it. Darn my post jam todo list keeps on expanding that's awesome.
We thank you a lot, that's so nice of you. 🦝🦝
