This is cute! Memorizing the ingredients was fun and the art style is real fun. Just wish it were a bit longer, like you could do multiple days until you fail a daily quota!

The game very much looks and plays and sounds like a Game Boy game and it features a cute lil witch selling potions!

The art style of this game makes me so incredibly happy! My only complaint is the lack of sound, but that's entirely understandable
I appreciate the cute simple art, and the color palette and its clever use.
Choosing the ingredients and then stirring the cauldron gives the gameplay a nice rhythm. The only thing missing is the sound.
Very cosy game, I enjoyed it and made about $22...
The art is lovely and the gameplay is enjoyable. The kitty customer made me laugh :D
No sounds but you already knew that! Can't wait to play the full version ^^
Thank you for the recipes!
Cute and charming little game !! I had the music only at the end with my pay, maybe you could have let it play throughout the game ?
Very cool, I can`t say anything that hasn't been said already about the artstyle, its beautiful! The idea its very well executed too! I dont know if its a bug, but I didn't hear any sound effect during the gameplay, the only sound I heard was in the results, this kind of game really needs sound effects for the game feel!! If you keep updating this game I can suggest to add more animations in the cooking process (where you press A and B) and the splash when the ingredients drops! Thats all I can say, overall this is a great game, good work :D!
I didn't have any time to work on music or sound effects before the deadline, but I do intend to finish the game before November. I did also get some feedback before about adding more frames to the stirring animation and I will absolutely do that. I was worried extra polish would take away from the limited Game Boy feel (and also I was short on time), but it seems like something people really want.
If you're interested in seeing the final game, I recommend following and checking in sometime before November! :D
Cool cozy game! it’d be quite original on the GB, a simple and gentle enough to be targeted to children :D Love the witch too!
great job!!
THE WITCH IS SO CUTE T_T i love the witch so much... maybe this isn't so helpful bc you probably already know but, i think once you have sfx in, this game will really come alive and feel a lot better. my first run i just sorta clicked through everything before realizing i went too far and did not even put ingredients into the potion T_T it went a lot better my second go but the sound feedback will help so much.
