Could not create a chicken after making the flowers. Seemed that some of the combining did not work perfectly. Also, not sure if the steps would be figured out without the walkthrough. Still an interesting puzzle.

Found it difficult some times to combine the items and had to pick them up and try again.

Love it! I had some issues with not realizing that more than two items are on the altar thing. I had some flowers and grass grow just inside the ring, and then all transmutation stopped.

Really good game, a nice puzzle that made me remember my childhood playing minecraft trying to figure out how to build things.

I think that you can make some notification or caption to inform what the player is holding. Otherwise nice game! :smirk:

Am I supposed to pick up rocks and put them in the triangle? I did it but nothing happens.

I got to the end! It was delightful. The walkthrough was pretty helpful... Nice graphics, everything was smooth. Nice puzzle! Very enjoyable.

Nice one! But, realy hard without the walkthrough

Gave up after seeing too much grass grow without any bugs for the chick to eat.

Thanks for the cake!

I like the hand-drawn sprites and the main character is cute.

I would not have gotten to the cake without the walkthrough though. The "at most 2 things in the center" limit is a bit harsh. At some point I did not see a plant hidden behind one of the big rocks which prevented further combinations until I removed the plant.

Picking up the right things is sometimes difficult and figuring out what those things are on your own is hard or maybe not possible? Combining things is a game of luck, but other famous games, for example "Don't starve", have a similar mechanic which some people enjoy, so I won't judge that.

@sirred @abregado @susumu-asaga @kubeec @romes @tab1bit0 @zubspace Thank you for your valuable feedback!

@twelvoo @merkisoft At the beginning you need to put exactly 2 rocks inside the altar. Rocks can be obtained by jumping inside the altar. Beware the egg at the bottom is not a rock!

Anonymous There is no bugs (insects) for the chick, they will eat the flowers (turning them into seeds). They need 3 flowers to grow up. Initially I wanted butteflies to come and be eaten by the chick but time lacked...

Nice looking minimalistic game but navigation is very confusing and contrintuitive, in my opinion it should use more direct insrtuctions because I really can't bake anything without your advices.

frank-gevaerts 2019-10-09 21:34

A great idea. I did have some problems with getting two things close enough to combine, but maybe that's just me.

Very, very cute! I really enjoyed it. The hint system was useful, as was the walkthrough. Great work!
