How does your game fit the theme?
In this game, you explore to find the ingredients needed to brew your potion. You have a limited time (X seconds) to complete your task before the room resets, starting a new loop. If you don't succeed, the room and the ingredients will reset, but you'll retain your knowledge from previous attempts.

A fine game but that last levels solution was not fun at all since it is not intuitive to the player that the object can be hidden. Previous levels the object is in always in plain sight but this one feels cheap by hiding it.
Thanks for playing our little game! We will try to improve in a future update (or future jam) how we introduce players to variations of the core mechanics more gently. The third level abruptly subverts the player's expectations with an object that might not be reachable or visible at first. Maybe we could have shown hints or titles that suggest the solution to make it less frustrating 🤔
This is a really cool take on the theme and well done too. The gameplay and HUD/UI art is all matching and consistent. I love that, it really adds to the overal game. 5/5 nice work!
Also I'd appreciate feedback on my submission if you get a chance!
Thanks for the kind words!
Pretty fun find the item game! That piece of cake level is hilarious!
If possible, please consider rating my game too.
Really cute game, it was fun to play it.
Great game, I had fun playing it!
Nice little item finding game. It was kinda funny to imagine what kind of potion the wizard was trying to make with a grand piano. Also a small thing but when he picked it up it also slows him down quite a bit, so that's a small nice detail.
The art looks ok, but some things seem out of place with the other things. The music is nice, but it seemed to not loop when the song ends.
SPOILER: I got stumped on the piece of cake level. My first intuition is obviously picking up the knife and brought it to the big cake, but there's no prompt saying that you can slice it or anything, so I looked around a bit, but I'm not sure what I was supposed to do next. Now some games are actually also like this, like the old point-and-click adventure games I used to play back in the days, where you sort of click random things until you got the right things or you trigger some sort of events to progress the story. But in those games there are loads of things to do, so it didn't feel boring when you got a little stuck, whereas in your game is very simple, so these sorts of roadblocks are major hurdles and honestly will turn off a lot of people.
Thanks for playing our game and taking the time to give us feedback! We are still learning about the assets and music department: we will try to remember your suggestion for our next jam.
The idea of implementing extra steps with objects being able to interact with each other was considered, but we didn't manage to implement it in time 😅 This is one of the reasons why the last level feels a little rush.
Nice game. First time I got to make a potion that contains a grand piano :D
lil wizard goes faaaast! such cute animation, love the character and world
I thought this was adorable - really liked the wizard sprite, their running around was very cute. The item sprites are all brilliant too while retaining the need for you to really search through them to find ingredients. An enjoyable take on the theme with cute visuals! I wanted to know more about who they were and what they were making.
I agree that removing the timer on level one would be good; maybe the first potion you make is accidentally a Potion of Looping 💞
This art style is so amazing, would love to play more games that look like this!
This was a very cute and fun game I like this idea of looping and having to use the looping to remember where stuff is so you go faster each loop!Cool puzzle with search for objects. There is humor, I like it. Cool graphics, good sounds. I did not have enough time to remember the things that need to be found, maybe make a stop of time? And the first level should remove the timer altogether, otherwise it is not immediately clear what needed to be done.
Thanks for your feedback! Removing the timer from the introductory level is a great suggestion - we will keep it in mind for a more polished version of the game!
fun little game! very curious what kind of potion would use an entire grand piano :p
I knew instantly where that cake was cause momma can't hide cake from me!
The art was charming and the game play was fun. I liked that ingredients changed color in the recipe book after you added them to the brew.
took me a bit to realize I could read the book for the recipe (duh!), but once I got it it was very fun to run around picking up items. I especially found it funny when grabbing the piano and suddenly moving painfully slow xD
I wonder if you could've made a bigger level that started opening doors as you progress, and then it starts rewarding you for really learning the layout as it grows. It would be very exciting to go "I remember seeing a bloodied knife somewhere around here" and looking around frantically when it was under your nose all the time
not much more to say! just a short, fun experience, congrats!
Got quite frantic at parts, but felt really nice when it all clicked! Nice work!
Feels like Minit meets Overcooked. Super cool concept! I'm a sucker for potion games.
I really love this game! The creative concept is excellent, and the gameplay feels great. The music, sound effects, and art design are all wonderful. The sense of achievement from succeeding through repeated attempts is fantastic. Good job!d(ﾟ∀ﾟd)
Awesome idea! I loved the character and those sound effects were so satisfying, nice job!
If you dont mind, please consider rating my game as well :)
