Art and concept were great. Maybe a longer timer would create less pressure and be more cozy.

We made a similar concept to this game but with longer stories and with candles, but we ran out of time and weren't able to implement the recipe book portion.

Lot of things going around but once I had a good understanding of the steps, I was locked in haha. Small feedback would be to maybe increase the timer for the entire first day and force the player to use multiple mechanics!

Great submission!

This was really nice, I enjoyed it! The idea of a cozy pixel-art herbalist game was a fun touch.

Very cozy game with amazing UI! Love the concept and execution, as the days progressed I noticed how I was actually memorizing the recipes and their pages on the books. Very fun game!

Submitted

Absolutely lovely game! Once I got a feel for the mechanics, I was chugging along. And can I say I am really glad you can toggle the book while holding on to ingredients! I had to double-check a few times. It was such a delight all around. Thank you for sharing!

The production quality on this is nothing short of stellar! I found it really really chill and cozy, even though I personally find timers really stressful, so kudos on you for that. I love the random word replacements from all the villagers, it's really quirky and charming.

This is such a cozy game, the whole experience of running a herbalist shop and mixing ingredients to cure ailments is such a nice thing to do. I also love the cute sounds of the animals.

The art looks fantastic! The gameplay was really enjoyable, even though it was a tiny bit confusing without a tutorial, but you get the hang really quickly!

I was wondering why no potion needed monkshood and decided to find out O_O!

Really nice environment, and the sounds are pretty calming. Great job!

Great game. It has a really cozy and simple vibe; I love it! Also, the art looks really great!! :D

The game is very cozy and imo perfectly "rushed". It feels like a fair bit of urgency. And the use of root plants is an amazing and unique way of using the theme! An amazing and beautifully drawn game!

fun game, the music is great, it fits very well the cozy vibe

A great take on Overcooked / Plate Up style gameplay! The patience meter adds some urgency but doesn't feel unfair. Loved making little tonics, and the art and music were so great.

Game was nice, I really enjoyed the animal critters.

The pixel art is really well done, and I thinks its super cool that you used real herbs and roots as ingredients! The gameplay reminds me a lot of Potion Craft; if you've never played I highly recommend. Great work!

Submitted

Well done gameplay and great art :) 

Really cute game! I loved the cozy atmosphere and the apothecary concept with the animals!

Thank you very much !

Very fun game! I liked that you had to analyse their symptoms and quickly find them in the book!

The cozy fall vibe could have been stronger but overall super nice!
