Awesome game, super well polished and great art style! I love manually mixing the cauldron.

WOW this was really well made!! Amazing job :) At first I kept making potions too strong or weak but after getting the hang of it, it was super satisfying! Took me a second to figure out witch green plant was which but other than that it was fantastic :)

I loved how chaotic this feels with just the book telling you what to do and being snarky when you do a bad job. It feels like an intentional mechanic vs the limitation being added on. Someone mentioned an experiment notepad in an earlier comment, which could be a really cool feature for future updates and help with understanding the mechanics better through trial and error.

10/10 game. Could play for hours.

This is just 10/10. Great execution of the theme, fun little gameplay loop, outstanding visuals, audio and polish. Great job!

I would love it if you made a devlog on the project. I'm especially interested in how you made the visual effects of the potion inside the teapot and how you programmed the picking up and dropping of ingredients in 3D.

Very cool game! I had a great time playing this concept. Also , the art is amazing, and the music and SFX too! The limit was applied very nicely !

This is a wonderful game. The drawing and gameplay are great, and you've definitely met the limit. At first, I didn't quite understand how to play the game, but through trial and error, I figured it out. It's great that there are no time limits or attempts in the game, as this would have frustrated players and likely led them to quit. The only thing I'd like to mention is that it would be cool to have a main menu and a different UI. Additionally, there should be endings, as I played the game and didn't find one. I could say again that the gameplay and graphics are amazing, but I can't put it into words. Your team is great, and I wish you success.

There is so much items and polish in the world.. gives me the feeling of being too lazy with mine.

Good work folks, had fun.

Love the 2D/3D art style! The colors, mood, lighting, and shadows are perfect! I'd love to see more varied and interesting customer character designs in the game. Nice!

The mixing of the ingredients was so clean and nice, got me mixing even with no ingredients. It was that satisfying, it told me I made aboslutely nothing lol! The scene setup and placement of ingredients feels like this is a shop someone visited before. Love the creativity and atmosphere of this game. Well done to all of you. You all should be very proud of this work. Espacially made in 3D on the web.

Okay I'm hooked. I just need a notebook for my experiments......
Would love if there was consequences for getting the order wrong or the ability to reset the potion. The customers just seem like a way to reset what you're doing and aren't really necessary to the gameplay. Nice work overall! Love it!

Developer

Thanks for playing :))
As for the consequences, we did discuss whether the cauldron would explode and/or game over if the order was wrong, or reacting when the customers drink them, though focusing on getting game running was more important. Definitely something to consider if we do future updates

Yo this looks and feel incredible. You got me with the mixing mechanics, fun! Love the HP vibes. You’re such a great team, keep it up!

Developer

Very Solid. I like the achievements. Your artist is a pro.

Developer

Thanks! Did you unlocked all of them?

Submitted(+2)

The idea seems simple, but the realization is unusual. I love this unconventional perspective and the game's overall atmosphere—it all comes together so well. I'm having flashbacks to Harry Potter.

Good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! That’s really heartwarming

Great game! Graphics are great, theme is exploited clearly. This could be a standalone game if pushed further. Very good entry!

Developer

Thanks a lot! That really means a lot to us!
