Oh wow! A lot of stuff to go through!
First of all thank you very much for playing an leaving such a massive review!
Portal 2? Never heard of it!
Saddly sound was implemented on the last day so unfortunately there was not much room for adjusting volumes... And yes! Entranced by the light is the best description for that interaction!
The alchemy mixing mechanic is definetely lacking... It was supposed to be a little different, more interactive (more fun?) but that is all I could do during the jam time.
Also light potion crafting at the begining was planned for the mvp+ version (all at the bottom of gdd) which saddly did not happen.
Again thank you very much! Feels awesome to read through well written constructive and flattering comments!
