I had a good time, but too bad there is no big efforts on the UI ! (I love good UI :p)
Well done !
Hello ! This is not the style of game I like, that said, here are some feedbacks that I hope will be useful to you.
Cons :
- too much dialogues for my taste
- I had a hard time understanding the weapon/combat system
- the potions used when you are max HP are lost
- I didn't manage to take advantage of the hourglass
Pros:
- it's nice to have an indicator of our position in the top right of the screen
- music and sounds
- character work
- the input controls that adapt to the AZERTY keyboard
- the adjustable difficulty
- the story and its different atmospheres
- the synchronized movements with the enemies is original (but a tutorial on the hourglass would have been welcome because in the end I just played like a brute without understanding the subtlety of the gameplay)
In summary, despite some frustrations, the game seems well finished with a story and an atmosphere that works well, congratulations to all of you!
We feel that this game is of another level of quality, you have done a huge work, the music is great and the game is still challenging!
I loved the little tips scattered in the level and also the sentences of the devs ^^
I wish you good luck for the evolutions of your game!
My sincere congratulations
Very pleasant music !
The attention to details are nice, in the animation of death, sound effects, game feel, effective colors.
I did not know that we could have such a precision in the movements on Game boy, very impressive.
The difficulty is well adjusted and we feel that the level design has been thought out, I noticed in particular a level with an "alternative" path that allows to enter the level easier.
Congratulations, this is a game I would have liked to have as a child on my game boy :)
It would be nice to have your opinion on our first GB game :

Cheers !
Great interfaces, tutorial and intradiegetic menu. The theme and samples gives a scientific and fun atmosphere that works well.
For the gameplay, I felt frustrated not to have more indications at the beginning, but, in an unexpected way I started to appreciate having to discover strange mixtures by myself and feeling like a real researcher!
I am very proud of my cactus/cupcake with a tail, I will take good care of it.
