I'm trying to fix it
I got it! Let's try it out! :smile:
The game is hard on many points: No tutorials or explaination of the combinaisons, all available at the begging. I'm not sure if I can gather more than 3 items at the same time. No way to retry/reset the game, so the only way to restart is to alt+f4 and open the game again.
I like the music and the graphics Didn't knew I could double jump, that's nice!
I don't know if there's a way to add at least a retry button when we lose/die and a button to close the game but it would help a lot! :slight_smile:
Thanks for your advice and we are developing a new version.In the next version you can restart when you win or lose. The exploration of combinations is part of the gameplay ,But we are working hard to make a clearer tutorial to help players aware it.
Really love the art style! The game was a little bit choppy, I am not sure why.
Love the idea and the gameplay! Music was also amazing. Such a cool concept and it was really fun to play
@ildfuglen Probably because each animation only has one or two frames XD
@gabriel-chan Thank you for your love!
I was able to jump over the right obstacle and reach the end of the scene. I like graphics and the idea.
@d3w Thanks for your love and I will fix that
Final version's come guys! At least the final version before LD's time up...
Ver.2.0 has been uploaded,we fix some bugs and add soundeffects.
I change the download link because the original one crashed.
The art style is fantastic, the gameplay is ok. A throw preview would be nice
Nice graphics, it's cool to try the different craft
@federico-giorgi Thanks! We'll try to add it later
@nebrazif Thanks for your like XD
Nice graphic. Confusing gameplay.
Nice game! I really enjoyed searching for the different combinations to see what they did. Although I was at times a bit clueless as to what effect a potion had, some small text or flash to tell the player what effects have been applied would be nice! :)
@yarin Thanks for you like and i'm sorry for the lack of guidance in the game, we will try to optimize it.
Very nice graphics and sound. First times I was confused what to do and didn't realy know what to do. Unfortunally it had to force quit 3 times because the getting resources animation was stuck
@devundead Thanks for your like!I'm sorry for the problem. I also found that the animator was emotional sometimes when we're collecting :(We will trying to fix it.
@malte-hedenstrom Thanks for your like and useful advice!
@devundead We've found this bug and tried to fix it yet, but for time was up, it is still in the game. However, this bug is not a serious problem (at least during my playing), it is just a animation stuck, and you can solve it by release the key or tying to jump. How about this bug during your playing? At the very beginning, we wanted to build up an exciting and diversifying gameplay, I know that's a challenge for us especially in 72 hours, but we decided to try. How to say, the final result is satisfying but with a few problems, maybe we will do better next time. lol
i don't really know what happend, but i got stuck above the screen, went to the right, the big enemy died and I won ._. guess I'm really good at this game
All bugs reported we've all found, and those serious ones are fixed.
Update Log Ver. 0.3 - Fixed a stuck after restarting game - Fixed a bug when the character may appear outside the map - Fixed a bug when the boss loses health upon encountering other monsters, causing an immediate victory
Really beautiful game with amazing parallax backgrounds. I got stuck above the screen on my first run. I had a bit of a hard time remembering what potion did what.
Very nice 2d graphic
Really nice graphics and audio! A little difficult to understand what to do but after a few failed attempts I think i got the idea and managed to cause some damage but i see you are looking to add tutorial features so all good! Good job!
Cute game! The graphics are splendid and the audio works really well too! I liked the main focus of the game of gathering ingredients and crafting weapons that way! I also liked how you implemented the boss enemy slowly inching forward, it creates interesting gameplay.
Sometimes the gathering speed could feel a bit tedious, if I had to do it three times in a row, and to brew right after that as well though.
Also I found a bug where if you started brewing, and press to gather right after, it would instantly brew black sludge into inventory.
All in all, good game, and good luck with the jam!
Wow, you can immediately see a lot of work has been done)
I like this style of painting.
Using green potion, I walked over directly with the boss. Ahahaha
Maybe more guidance in game would be better. Except for the green potion which has a plus sign, I am very clear that it is treatment. In fact, I am not sure about the effects of the other kinds of potions. Maybe it would be better to make the snake easier to be killed, so I can know better if I cause a damage
Absolutely gorgeous art, that is for sure. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the designs. I agree with other comments that the game is a bit on the slow and obscure side, but with a bit of guess work and trial and error you realize that flowers mostly give you a healing potion and the snake with neutral ingredients just absolutely wrecks the monster. I think having a hover menu or a tiny indicator of what exactly the potion does woul've gone a long way because you see the green one and immediately know it heals but I still don't know what the aqua one does. Still a fantastic overall effort and congratulations to your team!
I enjoyed the art and the idea of mixing potions from items you collect is really cool. I found the game very confusing however, and wasn't sure what I was supposed to do or where to go. Some tutorial elements would be helpful since it seemed like all I could do with potions was throw them at monsters? (unless perhaps I'm missing something). It wasn't clear to me how to win the game.
I'd like this art and music, relaxing! Now the menu of potions is unstable, but I think it would be fun if the menu is logical. Love this game!
Как плохо, что ведьмы не любят инструкции. А было бы очень полезно записывать, что и как она смешивала. Но, наверное, это ведьма-двоечница. Спасибо за игру!
I also had some trouble figuring out what the potions did, ultimately. I think a little feedback would have gone a long way, or maybe a hint here or there? I like the idea of brewing potions, though. Always been my favorite magical pursuit.
All comments above we've received. As many friends mentioned, the potion effect doesn't satisfy players well, thank you for your advises anyway! As you see, we tried to build up an exciting gameplay which can give people a completely fresh experience. However, we didn't complete all functions we planned because of 72 hours limiting. We respect LD's rules, those things we didn't do are certainly undone, we will not add these features currently. But who knows the future? We've certainly had the thought to build a really final version, which fits the gameplay we planned, which fits our imagination and ambition of the video game, and which is also an explanation to ourselves.
Wow it is amazing! I love that creepy mood of halloween. Great job!
Cool game! The graphics are nice and the gameplay is fun, I like the concept of gathering resources and crafting potions to use on enemies. Overall, good work!
The style of art and music are very good! Find out what potions can be made with what materials, and also find out the effects of the potions made, I need to play it many times to remember it.😂
I like the music. Trying out different ingredient combinations is fun.
I could not figure out how to throw potions, but looking at the screenshots and description that's more my fault than the games.
Amazing art, great job!
Nice entry ! Love Anna's design and the music~ I didn't manage to beat the boss tho, kept giving him life back ><
Nice entry, although I didn't find it's not very intuitive how the throwing potions mechanics work, also it's very hard to figure out which things to mix together to get what you need, I'd make sure that the available items have some distinct colors or something that says that if you add them in your potion it will make it give damage / heal. Other than that, really nice work! Love the art too :)
