The art and detail of this game is so beautiful! Everything felt very enveloped in the world, and it all feels very succinct. Amazing job :)

pretty good anti-shrooms game ... made me steer away from drugs πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
jokes aside, art looks very pretty πŸ˜Ž

Submitted

Incredibly pretty art, wow. I'm really blown away by the amount of detail it has and how beautiful everything looks, I loved it. I feel like I could stare at it for hours haha <3

I also agree that I would like something else to do after gathering the ingredients, like making a potion. Besides that, a really nice comfy game!

Submitted

Very pretty, and some really nice visual effects with the different weather conditions.. and those trippy sideways world melting mushrooms! I agree wit ha few others, that having something else to do after completing a scavenging run would be nice, and help fill out the game loop.

Submitted

Very beautiful audio and visuals in this one! I like seeing the different weather conditions, and collecting all the little ingredients is satisfying, but would love to see a bit more gameplay depth. As I think others have suggested, it would be nice if the potion-making aspect was expanded on so it feels like the game gets tied up in a satisfying way.  Thanks for sharing your project!

I got lost coming back, pretty cute art!
Maybe add more decors to keep this huge map interesting to explore having visual marker to help find our way back. Had fun trying it out!

Submitted

I did all spells, it's nice to take a walk in different kinds of environments. I think I like the night spell the most.

Submitted

The game has very good visuals, it was cool to have different levels; and nice calm music, though it gets kinda repetitve quickly. I think the first mushroom I've collected was the trippy one and I thought that the game is mostly about tripping, lol. Though this effect was cool. I also hit the bug in Web version (maybe other version have it too) which doesn't really resets the score counter on a replay (it actually does, but until the first item picked it just gets back to your previous score + collected item score). In sum, good job!

Very nice presentation but I can't understand what the main point of the game is. Do I just run around and collect things off the forest floor? That's fine, except there's no real challenge there, you have plenty of time and there's no obstacles besides those mushrooms, which you collect once and then know to avoid them for the rest of your playtime. The mushroom effect is really cool looking, except it's not actually disorientating enough to be a challenge (I would've liked it if it like flipped the screen or changed the controls for a second), so there's nothing really engaging for me besides nice visuals.

The visuals are great, and the audio is pretty nice, but I feel that you haven't quite found the game just yet.

Also this is more nit-picky, but the audio sliders in the options menu don't seem to be set quite right. Any time I adjusted them at or below the middle the audio seemed to disappear. Maybe I've got my computer audio set much lower than you, but I think something's wrong.

I really liked the artstyle and the mushroom effect, I always enjoy additional fluff like that.

I originally thought I would get to do stuff to craft the spell, the actual gameplay was less engaging than the premise led me to believe, but it's still a nice game.

Submitted

Very cute and simple game! I definitely went for the trippy mushroom right away...Whoops! But I really like how the music distorted! Made me feel very...uncomfy. But overall very cute and comfy game! Love the different game modes!

Submitted

Nice game overall. Super cute art style, and the music was nice and cozy.  I wasn’t sure what the β€œtrippy” mushrooms were, so I hit one right away, and then I think I kept hitting them… so I mostly tripped through the whole game. Still, fun little game. Thanks.

Good luck with the jam.

I love this so much! the art style is adorable and music is really pretty. There was a cut on the bad mushroom cue that I just wanted to point out as it clips a bit at the end of the wonky moment, but I really loved the distortion, very immersive. Great job!!!

Submitted

Super cute and comfy game! I hit a double bad shroom right away and thought my character was gonna trip the whole time haha. I would love to see this expanded with more of the mushrooms having effects like the trippy one did. Also loved the art style, so cute! Excellent entry and well done!

Really nice the art is amazing i feel like the gameplay is a lil too simple but its really nice, i also loved the music but it kinda became abit too repetitive after some time other then that its really nice1

Developer

Thanks! definitely planning to extend it in the future

Nice work

Developer

Extremely beautiful game with a simple yet fun premise! I also love that this witch had a dog lol

My only critique is that that I wish it had a map because it was easy for me to get lost. I would love to see future updates if you plan on working more in this!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and for playing the game! I definitely wanna work more on this after the jam

The gameplay was a little too simple for my taste and the outside area felt a little ominous for the gameplay.

But the art is so pretty! I especially loved the poison mushroom effect and the sfx that played along with it, very nice! The cutscene and art style are super cute and I also really liked the multiple scenes with their matching ingredients. 

Would love to see some additional gameplay options along with the pickup. Absolutely has room for improvement but overall it's very cute :)

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing & for the feedback :) had more ideas  that were hard to implement in such short time so there will be some updates post-jam

Submitted(+1)

Really incredible art and aesthetic. Super cozy vibes! I thought the premise was simple and well executed. I'd have loved to see you push even further with the mushroom concept—the visual effect was really cool, but I'd be curious how your game would play differently if it actually changed the map or your location within the map.

Developer

Thank you! definitely looking forward to adding more things to the game post jam. Thanks for playing :)

Super cute and cozy game!! The customizable weather is a nice touch, and the aesthetic is all very cohesive.
