This was fun and surprisingly deep in complexity! I could easily see people loving this; my biggest recommendations are a more drawn-out tutorial/introduction where you introduce all the features little by little instead of throwing them all at the player at the start.
I'd actually LOVE if the potions had effects that I could use as a player (more moves, affecting the board, etc) and therefore I had a little choice of whether to keep them for myself or to sell them.
I did notice that pieces sometimes overlapped with each other (especially runes overlapping other pieces, but also actual tiles overlapping other tiles that you only see when you try to move the top one of the "stack"). Also, I noticed that turning off all the sounds in the settings doesn't actually turn off all the sounds. ;)
Playing in the latest Chrome on Windows. I only noticed it a few times and just went back in to play a little more and record so I could try and give you a better idea of what's causing it, but wasn't able to replicate it again. Might be a nasty bug to trace down; good luck!
Really appreciate you going back to it! I think this has something to do with the device performance, I should add a check to identify performance issues and get rid of the delayed effects if we find the game isn’t running properly, I think this should fix it

A very juicy game, and the music really adds to the vibe.
Nice game, liked the art and the whole vibe
Loved the overall vibe of this game, very neatly executed.
Nice game ! I love the pixel vibe....
Addictive game!
It's fun to play, loved the sounds, animations and UI! Nice game!
What a fun game to play, really cool that you can run it straight from itch.io (it just takes a while to load), really fun overall
Cool concept! It reminds me of a witchy CandyCrush! Nice job!
Hey this is cool! I like it a lot. solid 4 star game.

hey! Thanks for the review, sucks to hear about that bug! Can you tell me what browser you used to play it?

Overall good, but core mechanic didn't work for me as tiles kind of go on top of each other
thanks for the review! Can you let me know what browser you played it on?
Google Chrome Version 139.0.7258.128 (Official Build) (64-bit)
I enjoyed playing through the game. Wonderful!
