great mechanics!

Pretty fun concept -- a couple notes:
It would be nice to have a setting to reduce the CRT shader/noise. it's a bit much on my eyes.

Controls dont always feel intuitive.

It's honestly pretty hard to make the recipes, your screen gets cluttered if you are not getting the right things, and orders come so quick. 

Keep up the work though, it feels like a more structured version of that fruit game all the streamers were playing awhile back, and I like where it is going. :D

very enjoyable game! great job to everyone involved

try merging an iron ingot with a stick :)

Hello,

I finished the game jam and am attempting to complete the form for a free course. Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with the URL portion of the form; as when I attempt to put in the URL for my game, https://squeakyknee.itch.io/wizards-loophole, or the gamejam URL, https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2024/rate/2750559  ; they both fail saying 'Please provide full itch.io game jam link. E.G https://username.itch.io/gamename or https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2023/rate/123456'

I am not seeing an issue with how I am submitting my url, the only thing I can think of is that it doesn't like the special character in my games url since there is a space between wizards and loophole which is represented by the dash in the url. no idea why it doesn't like the gamedevtv jam url , but when I try pasting the two URLs provided by the error, they both seem to make the error go away. anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for checking it out! :)

The crafting hammer is a bit different than one might expect: it needs to be animated, and it needs to have an ingredient in the tile corresponding with each of it's input indicators; if there are ingredients in both tiles, and they are able to combine to make a valid recipe, they will merge and the new item will come out in the tile corresponding with the output indicator.

Thanks for checking it out :) Makes me wonder what a fun design could be that involves magic and would help with finding recipes as you get further into the game

I appreciate the feedback. A few people have mentioned that it was confusing 'Unlocking' the recipe, but not having it discovered, so I think that could be a nice QOL change. Thanks for checking it out!

That is really nice to hear, I am glad that you enjoyed it!

and by invest, I mean invitest my time, lol. I am not much of an artist.

making a factory/automation wave defense game. finished making the first tool and the automation for it producing resources when turned on against any minerals.  set up some basic sprites/art but probably wont invest in it much

Hello,

The rules say free assets only, but I dont necessarily want to use assets from online. The rules also say AI is allowed but I don't want to use AI. Am I allowed to just create my own art in aseprite?
