The art is phenomenal, I like it a lot!
Unfortunately I didn't really feel the countdown. It felt like I had plenty of time.
It is a bit hard to see the key and some other objects, I would add a pointer to show the player what he needs to do.
There are a few small bugs:
- Going fullscreen and back causes the camera to go through the floor
- Using the grinder only works if I click again on it, otherwise I can spin to infinity and nothing happens.
- The 3 things, whatever they are called that you throw into the pot are not on top of the screen, they go under the fire, probably under the pot as well. In my run I placed them over the cauldron and got instantly teleported down.
Got stuck not knowing what happened for a bit (figured it out in the end).
Great job on the artwork tho!
