Nice game! Even the setting screen had a playful touch, which I really enjoyed. The difficulty felt quite unforgiving, and the white potion was especially challenging. Overall, I had a great time playing. Great work!

Fun concept & vibe, I would have loved the gameplay to be a little more quickly paced though, but really liked the polish!

The sound for this was really exceptional. The controls felt really good and the learn as you go aspect with the smudged recipes was really nice. The only hang up I felt myself consistently hitting was my facing being a consideration for a faster mix. I personally would have preferred proximity being the deciding factor, but I also know that's a preference thing. Visual feedback from the sprite would have also been helpful rather than detecting small changes in the bar speed.

This was a really exceptional game!

Noted! Ty!

really cool game, I wished the recipe book had all the recipes from the beginning, but the game flow kind of introduces the recipes, so that's fine

Developer

Thanks! We'll keep that in mind!

I really liked the art style and the sound. The gameplay is fun. But I think that the available recipes should be displayed in the book instead of having to discover it yourself. That leads to frustration since I don't know what I'm supposed to do. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
