The presentation of the game was great. For me the camera level was quite zoomed in which made it hard for me to navigate around the environments though I did manage to find all the pieces but kept dying. Really cool potion book feature.
Thx for playing,after the jam ill release the version with the new camera :)
Great job with the atmosphere, I loved exploring the different areas.
Thx for playing :)
NO way grandpa needs an immortality elixir and then doesn't even take it.
I brewed it, after grueling trials (2hp left) then I make it and can't hold it so I exited the room and now it's gone.
Beta submission for other players: Start with fire pits > ice capades > forest of confusion. Always do the hardest parts first so you don't have to redo the easy part.
Overall had fun, the tunnel vision adds a lot to the game, I expected the berries in the ice to refll my health but got noscoped by an explosive berry at least twice ( I don't learn fast)
Thx for playing,glad you enjoyed. I'll check if theres any bug relating the potion
Neat, definitely hit the retro aesthetic. Agree with the comments about the camera zoom
Thx for playing and for the feedback, I didnt think the movement was slidy but ill check on it :)
I liked the design of the ingredient book and the mushroom challenge where the controls get inverted, but the music was really loud. I would like a slider to control the volume haha
Thx for the feedback, I will make sure to reduce the music
I really like the exploration and hunting for the various ingredients. I wasn't able to find all the required ingredients and kept dying but the bare bones are there. The graphics and audio were the highlights... it took me back to an NES/SNES game that I couldn't put my finger on, and the story and spell book were a nice touch!
Thx for playing,I lacked time or else I wouldve been able to add a map to help the players.
I really struggled to play the game between the overly zoomed in camera and the invisible walls I struggled to navigate and not just hit obstacles i didn’t know where there a fraction of a second before.
Separately it’s likely my dyslexia but i basically couldn’t read the font you chose
Thx for playing,honestly my fault on the zoom ,I didnt know it would cause that much issue
Really enjoyed the take on it - as others have comment it felt like a throwback to the og legend of zelda games. I do think it could have been more zoomed out, but overall was a really neat game!
Thx for playing,I really apprieciate the fact that you liked the vibe, n yh I didnt think the zoom would be tht bad
This reminds me a lot of games like the original Legend of Zelda and Crystalis for the NES. I like how each area has its own movement puzzle and tests you just long enough to be challenging without dragging on. Visually, I enjoyed the style. The outside areas especially looked really nice. For areas like the ice zone, zooming out a bit would help with avoiding spikes but otherwise great game!
Thx alot for the feedback,I really wanted it to feel as retro as i could make it,also I lacked time during the end so i didnt playtest much.
