A fun potion brewer sim. I liked the roguelike elements, doing runs to make silver, then improve various elements and go again with better chances.
I did struggle to satisfy the customers, as some of them seemed to ask for stats that were impossible for me to create with the available plants. I guess I needed that ability that improves potion stats randomly after brewing.
Also, I couldn't quite see how the theme is used in the game. Was it about the plants' death?
Enjoyable little plant and potion management game. Wish we could find out what happened to people we sold potions to :3 could be a funny little addition.
A cool take on the theme! I like the back-and-forth gameplay.
Very nice theme implementation and cool mechanics. Could use more sound (or I was missing something) but great job!
Very cool take on the theme, and the mechanics are both intricate and engaging. Had a lot of fun upon figuring out a rather efficient workflow for brewing and selling potions :)
Good visual. Had lots of fun.
Feel free to check out mine as well!
I had fun with this one! Is this a good score or a bad score? I did my best haha, it felt like I couldnt sell potions faster than this :)
This was a great game when I got into learning the mechanics! I would say some of the UI and tutorial could be polished a bit more, but the replayability and overall game design was great, and I could play this for hours!
I loved the concept. It reminded me of the old Papa Louie games.
Neat game, though I wasn't able to get very far. Some of the potion demands seemed impossible but I might be wrong. Not sure if there was a way to extend the time limit.
Lets just say, I tried to balance it, but it was near impossible to do in time :c
A really cool game! I didn't expect to see a potion brewing game with this theme, suprisingly well done.
I am not built for these stressful games, I did not get a whole lot of gold in the end, but I enjoyed it either way.
You executed the concept of a potion shop really well. Growing the plants was really quick, so I didn't really need to stock up on materials because I could just grow some when needed. You could sell more if you had plants in stock, but I found it easier to scam the customers on the spot. Great work!
Fun game. I like the way brewing works although it took me a while to realize I can add more then 3 ingredients.
Noted, will improve the indicator, if I decide to work on it in the future!
Great game! I think that it does feel a bit difficult to manage everything, but that seems very much by design.
I liked the idea of scamming people during a plague with potions for matching the theme, and I loved the growing and potion mechanics. I recognised some of the plant mechanics being inspired by an old Sim game I used to play a lot, so I was delighted by that. Overall, I liked the concept, art, and gameplay. You could easily make a bigger game 👍
