Def bugged on web, you can't upload a new version but since you can still eit your page, you may have success changing the viewport dimensions or clicking the checkbox to add a full screen button. I downloaded it to try it out and the ambience and graphics were very impressive! It was genuinely creeping me out, nice work!
Thanks for the feedback ! I changed the viewport dimension and added a full screen button, let me know if it works now.
interesting idea. The art looks amazing. Unfortunately, the web version doesn't work for me, and sometimes I can't see the mouse at all, so I have to feel for the buttons. But the game is still pretty good
This, to me, is like an enhanced version of a phone game I once played named like Alchemy or something~ where you essentially mix substances to get new ones, and mix those to get newer ones - but this has the added feature of testing them to see how they work. Interesting concept. I like the lighting/mood in this game.
Phone games are not my thing, however it's interesting that it makes you think about one. I will take a look to get more inspiration for the future. Thanks for playing!
The art and vibe of this game are great! It was such a smart idea to use spotlights to avoid having to "fill up" the screen and focus more on the game play. The web version is very buggy, FYI to anyone else playing, you may have to download. Good job!
Thanks for the kind words!
Great art and atmosphere. The web build doesn't work very well (most of the game is not visible), had to download it. Controls were quite difficult for me, I could not figure out how to use the bone and syringe. I only managed to put some things in a pot but then didn't know what to do next
Yeah, my game lacks a tutorial. Basically, once you put the ingredients into the pot, you can take the syringe to extract the mix. It will then take you back to the main room, where you can open a wound to inject the substance.
Didn’t really know what I was doing at first, immediately crushed the squirrel… Nailed the creepy aesthetic though and the mutations were interesting. Had browser issues similar to others here but download worked fine for me.
Thanks for playing ! Yeah I have to fix the browser version after the game jam...
Had to download the game cuz the web version wasnt working right as someone else already said, you should try to enable the fullscreen button on the web game and correctly set the window size in the game page (Set the size to the same on godot's window size parameter)
The game was really fun altought a little confusing at first, but the mutations were really cool! It would have been good to have a little more hints on the recipes as you kind of have no idea what to mix, nice work tho on the creepy aesthetic, congrats!
Yeah, the web version is kind of annoying; I can't understand why it doesn't work during this game jam (I'll fix this problem once the jam is finished). I might also add a sort of grimoire with all the recipes. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Interesting concept and very nice atmosphere. Sadly seemed to have some issues in browser and on my end that made it pretty difficult to play.
Interesting feedback, could you please specify the issues you encountered in the browser. Thank you for playing, by the way !
The embed window seemed to be smaller than the actual game itself, showing only a small piece of the screen. It did detect the mouse, but the in-game cursor was offset from my actual mouse position, preventing me from interacting with even the objects I could see.
I'm not going to lie to you, I'm not sure how to fix this bug because I'm not seeing any errors like that in my browser. It might depend on the screen size, could you send me the resolution of your monitor?
Does the Windows version work correctly, at least ?
My monitor's resolution is 1920x1080. I am running firefox just in case that ends up being relevant, too. I'm on linux, so the windows version doesn't work natively, and sadly didn't seem to want to work with wine either.
Well thanks for the feedback ! I will try to fix this problem after the game jam.
Loved the graphics and spooky atmosphere. Was having problem picking up the bone though. Look like the cursor is losing tracking with the mouse when it exits the window.
Thank you for playing ! I’m wondering if you are talking about the bones in the main room, because these ones can't be picked up... unlike the ones in the room with the cauldron.
