The graphics in the game are amazing! But the parts where I had to make the potions were confusing and somewhat frustrating, as I would sometimes make a mistake and would lose some of the ingredients permanently (except for the herr voss horns), forcing me to go back and get them back.
Nonetheless, this is a solid jam submission thanks to the graphics and the originality.
The art is beautiful, I loved that fox with antlers. I got stuck not knowing what to do after collecting 58 items and making the pink potion, but I wish I could have progressed further. Great job .
thanks for playing. We got a bid in a hurry at the end about onboarding.
So you should het the monsters every 3rd time.
When you go to options (the weel with the rat) you can reread all the pages of the intro where your steps are explained)
Put it's in this order.
Pink potion for the vox.
Then you can make the Green/bleu for the frog.
Then you can enter the cave and make 2 red points
Then you can defeat the cave monster with a red potion and get his spike.
The. You can make the yellow potion.
Shrink the 🐍 then defeat it with your second red potion.
This is a vary pretty game with a lot of character to it. Art work is amazing, great job on that.
Game itself is a little slow going but has enough hook to keep you going.
I got stuck on the first potion unfortunately, Not sure if i was doing it wrong or not. I got the pink potion and was clicking the forest to find a dear but it never came along (Went to map and back to forest like 100 times and no show)
Tried to make other potions but i think i needed the antlers first?
Put that aside (As its probably a skill issue) the game is great but I didn't really feel overpowered.

Yea tried doing it in that order but the forest was empty all the time so i got soft locked. (I made the pink potion)
Then that definitely is a bug. Best is to start a new game.
The pacing is a bit slow but the art and gameplay were fun! Good job!
thanks!
Really cool, you can tell the game was made with a lot of care, the artwork is beautiful, and the scenes very well put together, I think the game just needed a bit more feedback, in regards to the mixing the potions part, like changing the waters colors and such. Great job.
thanks
Very nice game, the artwork is amazing and mixing potions was very cool, great work!
Fun and relaxing game! Really enjoyed the art. Nice work!
amazing drawings and feel, nice game mechanic mixing the ingredients together.
thanks!
Your game is awesome! It's so relaxed and witchy.
Very nicely done. Great artstyle and gameplay.
The game is beautifully done and well crafted. The potion system is quite creative! Would you consider making it less linear in the future? Also, the menus tend to overlap with each other and make navigation a bit difficult. Small things to polish but all in all a great job!
yeh definitely. We're thinking of scaling it bigger then this.
Took to long for books to show up sometimes to the point you almost think it has frozen.
yeh we definitely mist the sweet spot there. .. we added it to the to do list after the jam 😀
Very cool idea! My main complaint is that I got too much information all at once. That intro kind of turned me off from the game. But the artwork is lovely and I love a good potion making game :)
yeh we kinda had to rush the intro information because we dint had time to make a proper onboarding.
Very good art style !
Came to try out your game after catching it on LevelUpWithAlex's stream! Great work and absolutely fantastic art! Everything looks cohesive and is a joy to look at.
Thanks!!
It’s like Potion Craft with an exploration twist—great idea and cool artwork! A lot of effort went into this, and it really shows.
Thanks!!
I love the calmness of the game. Amazing artwork too!
Thanks!!
This feels like the beginning of what could be a really cool full game. It felt satisfying looking at the recipe book and saying "okay take this, pour it in here, put these in here and mush 'em up, stir" it really made me FEEL like Batman. I mean, like an alchemist. Such charming art and the little animations added so much life. The same can be said for the humor and sound design as well. I really hope this project gets expanded upon in some way whether it's a new game with a similar theme and systems or just more Chronicles of the Alchemist. Amazing work!
