I love the atmosphere of this game, but I 100% got customer service / retail flashbacks when playing it.

This is super impressive for a two week deadline!! I'm a big fan of store management games so this was such a pleasure to play :)

I liked the art, it's beautiful

Some of the text was a bit small and I definitely bumbled along for a bit before getting the hang of things. Once I figured it out I started really getting into it. Impressive depth for a game jam. I think a tutorial would go a long way in the future. Pretty swell game though!

I liked this very much!  Everything was clean and intuitive and worked well.  The art was lovely and the tactility of the minigames to grind ingredients and cook the potions felt great.

I would have liked to see something more to do during lulls when you're out of potions to cook / ingredients to grind, but as somebody who has worked on games with similar systems in Godot before, I know how it takes so much more time and work to get these mechanics working properly than you'd think, the back end of inventory/crafting systems and such is very time-consuming.  Maybe something for a full version if you pursue it!

In any case I definitely think you have something cooking here, no pun intended, and I think a fully-developed version with more features and polish could be really great!  Nice work!

thank you so much for the recognition, it makes me feel good for the work we put in here!

Wow! A splendid game! Great art, great on theme. Smooth controls. Very relaxing. I love that you can pet the cat lol. A strong contender!

Interesting potion crafting game, i liked the art and the fact that we could pet the cat. The UI was a little confusing at first but it was ok. I just didn't find interesting to have the empty recipes, it would have been best i think to just see the ones that we unlocked. 

Overall, it was a good experience, i just wished that we could finish days faster (and if it was already possible, i didn't found how)

Very interesting and in depth, was a little bit confused at first but got the hang of it quickly. Neat art and design

thank you so much! if we continue working on this, we're absolutely adding a tutorial, thanks for the feedback :)

Interesting concept—with so many elements illustrated—but I feel like some important ones are missing, like the dialogue boxes or the volume sliders. The stark contrast really stands out. Good game. 

Developer

thank you for the feedback! i couldn't agree more. we also want to fix up the default background behind the end of day screen and the crow store at some point in the future

I love the style, UI is a bit hard to navigate but It's fine when you get hang of it. It's pretty chill and fun and I enjoyed my time with it, good job! :)

Developer

thank you for the kind words! we would love to maybe add a way to pin recipes at the prep stations to help with recipe navigation in the future; were there other points that stuck out as difficult to navigate?

Pretty nice! pretty chill

thank you very much!

Loved the music and the art. Text was a bit too small. Searching for recipes in the book was annoying since it had mostly empty pages. Overall, it was pretty good.

Developer

thanks so much! yeah, i totally agree with the recipe book navigation. do you think it'd be better to leave out pages with unknown recipes?

Submitted(+1)

I think one page with question mark is fine. Or you could have a final total page number like page 2/20 to show everything pending unlocks. Or just a navigation button that moves you to next/previous filled recipe page. Just any way to avoid having to click through ten empty pages to find a recipe.

The UI was a bit hard to navigate and I wished it opened faster since I had to keep referring to what I had to gather. I enjoyed the story elements though! I liked how the POV and art was set up. It felt like I was the shopkeeper and managing a potion shop. As a side, it would be also nice to speed up the day since I felt like I was just waiting for the time to pass sometimes. 

Developer(+1)

thank you very much! i hope in the future we can maybe add some QOL features like showing the image of the ingredient you need in the book so you don't have to double or triple check as often, as well as speeding up some parts of the ui transitions

Potion craft meets strange horticulture? I feel like tutorials would've bring your game a long way, even if it meant cutting on some feature. Good job tho, it's pretty solid!

Developer

thank you! if we come back to this game, tutorial will absolutely be a #1 priority

Quite relaxing game ! Bonus points for petting the cat. Cheers !

Developer

thank you very much!
