Fun concept, loved the potion names!

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely adorable, I love the hints being cutesy fantasy rhymey lines. I got all potions and as with all alchemy games I would've love to have more. Special thumbs up for double use of ingredients. The potion names are also great. Not a great "horror" game maybe, but a great Halloween game for sure. Would love to get more of this!

Cute game! It has an appealing art style with great effects and sound design! It'd be interesting if there were more objects in the background to break up the visual space, considering how much time you spend looking at the cauldron,  but overall the gameplay helps lift that burden. Really solid entry!

Developer

Thanks so much!

I had intended to make the background more fun with webs and vines but I didn't have time. I submitted this at nearly midnight for me and needed sleep xD

Good game! It’s really fun to solve the riddles and make all the potions. also liked the potion names :D

I couldn't unlock any potions, but I liked the idea of the game. The art and music mesh together very well, but the game isn't scary or creepy at all. You could've added a timer or a clock for example. Anyway, good entry game. 

Developer

aw man, not even with hints? I'm sorry you couldn't get them!

Thanks for trying it out tho!

Short and fun. Enjoyed solving all the riddles, and they never felt too vague or hard to understand. Great entry!

Developer

Oh thank goodness! I'm actually horrible at solving riddles, I'm glad I did well making them! 


Thanks for playing 😁

Hello! I remember playing your game during last year's scream jam so I wanted to see what you cooked up this year. But I wasn't expecting you to literally be cooking something up! I loved this game. I don't know why but it feels satisfying figuring out how to make the potions. If the hints were easier it would feel too hand-holdy, but if they were harder it would feel too frustrating. You strike a good balance here.

Developer

aw thanks so much! welcome back :D

I'm glad you thought it was balanced, I never did anything like this before!

This is my Jam. Hints sometimes disappear too quickly for me to understand.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it!

 The hints do stay if you keep the mouse over them. I probably should have mentioned that :S

oh this is absolutely my jam. this reminds me so much of all those early 2010s cooking browser games i played as a kid.

Developer

aw thanks so much! :D

Interesting game, i really like the art design, also whole mixing potion idea is very cool and unique. Good job!

for other please play in the chrome, otherwise you won't hear bubble sound effects and music.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! :3

Also thank you for re-enforcing what I thought, sounds don't work in certain browsers for some reason.

About the sounds, try to convert them into different file type. mp3, ogg, wavs. Maybe it fixes the problem with opera

Developer

I think I actually do have .mp3s only :S

My friend played in safari and the music started after 3 minutes so idk what its issue is XD

You can try to convert them into wavs or ogg!

I did .ogg and it seems to work now! Thanks :D
