Really awesome game!!! Amazing art. Laggy with the controls, probably because of the loading of all that art. Maybe some kind of compression on the art, if anything in there is .png make sure its .jpeg where possible for quicker loading. But overall really good.

I don't know if it is my PC or what, but I had performance issues with this.

If you can get me your computer info I'd be happy to look into it and see if I can try to optimize a bit more. Hope it was still playable at least!

This is a chill and fun one -- it got a little repetitive and I didn't really know how to balance between taking care of my cat and the cauldron, but the game flow felt great and it was really smooth and seamless. Unity was a great choice!

Thanks so much! I’m really glad the flow felt smooth and seamless, because that was one of my main goals.

I tried to reduce scope and focus more on polish for this project since I was a bit worried about the time, so it’s great to hear that part came through. I'm sorry you felt it was getting repetitive; I did increase the ritual's steps in order to extend the gameplay a bit; maybe it's worth revisiting. 

Thanks again for playing!

Looks good so far - 

  1. The Whisker Item seems to be wrapped in a rectangular shape thing? I think I can see the actual item that is supposed to be. 
  2. Also not game breaking but to brew you have to be looking at the orb - I spent several minutes looking into the pot and even went searching for a ladle. Maybe allow players to brew by looking into the cauldron or at it? 

I "completed" the ritual so the instructions are quite clear and easy to follow. Looking forward to what you have planned. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Will adjust the whisker, it was originally a box when prototyping. You're right about the brewing, if I have time I'll try to add some more to it and/or tweak but I think I'm first going to do a sound/audio pass first.  Thanks again :-)

Game does not load :(
Loading bar stays white the whole time. Using Chrome Browser

Developer

It may take a bit of time to download (currently 98mb). The white line is a loading bar.  Uploaded a new version where it should look a bit better. Hope it works!

works now :)

Still very much a WIP. Would still love feedback if anyone is interested!
