Good Concept, Wished there was an option to show more info at the start before the game play and maybe some background music would have been nice but the game worked well enough and I enjoyed myself.
Suuuper hard, seems a bit too much to expect color theory calculations within 1 second intervals from the player. I did not manage to make any deliveries but it's a cool concept, with some tweaking would be more fun :D
I am not sure how you can get a blue potion if you can't mix blue with blue. I agree with others, I need more information on how to play because I only managed to make one pink one for the delivery list and everything else I tried failed.
Also the delivery list should be on a solid background because it's very hard to read.
Interesting gameplay. It needs to thinking all over the time! It was great experience playing this game. Two things: 1) you need more focus on text at the bottom of the screen or some kind of tutorial 2) it's imposibble to quit game before you lose or complete the level
P.S.: my team also made game about unstable potions! High five!
I very much enjoyed the concept! I agree with some of the comments above -- it's hard to figure out exactly what you're trying to do at the start, so if there was some kind of small tutorial-type thing at the beginning, that would be lovely. Some SFX and music would also help emphasize the atmosphere. But, with some tweaking, this seems like it would make for an absolutely lovely mobile game! Good job!
Really fun concept, reminds me of a game I used to play on neopets a long time ago. I have a lot of the same issues other people noticed. The delivery list is hard to read because of the thin black font on a dark background so that made things harder. Because the list was also random it would often have multiple numbers of the same thing so I had to create the same potion 5+ times. Sound effects and music would be a great addition, I also struggled to figure out what I was supposed to be doing in the begging so a tutorial would be a big help.
