Ranked from 24 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How did you incorporate the given theme in your game?
The main goal of the game is to collect all of the potions, while you're also collecting different ingredients for the different potions. I tried to make the grimoire in a way that makes the potions feel like collectables.

Super well put together! Loved collecting the ingredients and unlocking the "potions".

The aesthetics were super cozy and relaxing, and the atmosphere was super neat. The witch is just too cute and I LOVED that you can click the cat haha The fact that you have limited slots and can't pick up duplicates makes it interesting as you have to actually consider what you're picking up in regards to what you're missing.The different icons for the potions was great as well. 

The score felt a bit odd I wasn't even aware it was being tracked? The music was neat but a bit more variety and having it be less uhh intense in the last segment of the track may have worked a bit smoother. Great use of SFX.

Fun game! Congrats on the submission!

Thank you :DD I'm glad you found the inventory system interesting! Appreciate the feedback too I see how I could've improved there

Love the art and usage of audio!! Would have loved to be able to open and see the fully completed potion recipe book after the final potion was brewed!

Developer

Yay thank you!! And good point I definitely could've handled the ending better

This game is so lovely! Love the visuals and the color palette

Developer

Aww thanks!

Perfect little mechanic, no glitches (that I found). Cute game! Any plans to build on it more?

Developer(+1)

thanks! there's 2 small glitches I think but I'm glad you didn't find them :p 

I'd love to expand on the point and click exploration and more of a story goal/functionality maybe, but for now I'm just practicing making small games so no real plans

So cute! I love the art! and it was fun to collect the ingredients. Very easy and clear on what to get for each potion too once you see them all.

Developer

yayy thank you!

Cute! I liked the graphics and the cat that meows. It was fun to collect ingredients and see what combinations turn into what.

Developer

Yay thank you!

Really good job on this one!

The art looked great, and the controls were smooth and intuitive—I never once felt lost or unsure of what to do.

The only thing that stood out was the character/UI-to-screen ratio. With the player and UI taking up around half the screen, it felt a little cramped and made it harder to fully appreciate the visuals. If there were more breathing room on the screen, it would give the game a more adventurous feel when searching and clicking around.

Overall though—awesome work, well done!!! 👏

Developer

Thank you so much!!! And that's a very good point. I realised a bit too late that I made the resolution too small for the inventory and in general, but maybe I could've prevented it by paying more atttention to the ratio of the character especially 🤔

There's so much polish in this little game, it feels great! The color palette and art, animation, the clickable cat, the responsiveness of collectible items to mouse hover, the sound effects, it's all there. At the abrupt ending I was worried I wouldn't be able to see my completed potion book, but I'm glad I was able to continue the game and admire my complete collection.

Developer

thank you for appreciating my little details!! and yeah I think I could've handled the ending better or maybe just added the book to the ending scene hmm

A cute game! The art is very nice and the gameplay was pretty straightforward. The only thing I'd say wasn't clear was that you could collect water from the pond, but it didn't take me long to figure it out looking at the ingredient lists. (also the cat is a cute detail!)

Developer

thank you !! I was hoping the water was a little bit harder to find, but I'm glad it didn't take too long either!

The artstyle is cute and I liked the "witch simulator" gameplay.

thank you :)

Cute, simple and satisfying ! I wish we had  more information's about the potions once created, else it's great !

Developer(+1)

thank you, happy to hear it was satisfying! and I was going to add that but I figured out too late I made the resolution too low for showing text properly haha 

Submitted(+1)

Very simple but well done concept! The art style is amazing and adorable. I love that the exploration is through point and click screens. I think too many games use empty open world exploration. The music is also very fitting. ♡

Developer

thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the point and click exploration it was where my idea started : )

Wow great art style! Game has a lot of atmosphere and everything blends really well together to create something spooky that drew me in. Solved all the potions, wish there was an ending, but otherwise great work!

Developer

yay thank you!! I was struggling a bit with the ending, maybe if I had more time (but realistically I would have spend it on animating the cat lmao) 

Submitted(+1)

really cute art! i was kinda hoping the potions did something even if they were visual gags

Developer

thank you! and yeah good point I think that'd have added a lot
