I tried playing the web player version but it starts glitching out and freezes. I really hope you add a bug fix so I could try it!

@la-bread Huh, that's weird, thanks for letting me know. Can you tell me what browser and operating system you are using, or if you did anything in particular for it to freeze so I can try reproducing the issue?

Cute game! Played on the web. Really cute graphics, and I love the relaxing turn based aspect.

I used Google Chrome

Enjoyable game, it was difficult but i enjoyed the turn based style to it! also Web-version worked well!

The game has a very nostalgic feel to it that I quite like. I think the orders screen could probably be combined with gardening or brewing for better awareness.

Not bad! But there are some bugs. I will retain my last game's medicine and use them at next game. Also, you can make more medicine having special effect.

Interesting, I like the concept. Didn't realize using last of my despalt would mean I'd be stuck unable to get more.

It seems that their is some problem with web version. I can start the game and tutorial. Hoping there is a normal version without bug, I really want to play this qute game.

I had a good time with this game, but there are a few quality of life issues that if fixed would really take it to the next level in my opinion:

* Being able to take away souls from a potion before brewing. Hate misclicking and wasting resources.

* Being able to see # of souls left, orders from customers and the brewing menu in one screen. Having to go back and forth between the two screens to make sure I have enough resources is a bit annoying.

* Make the sound pan a bit more even. I get the idea and I think it could work but it's a bit extreme and bothersome to only hear the music out of one ear, maybe reducing it to a 40% pan or something.

But yeah, overall this is a solid entry and the gameplay loop is fun. It was pretty interesting to restart and try different strategies to maximize resources before the orders start coming in. Nice work.

Had the same problem with the browser. Tried both in Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

Downloaded the standalone version and had some fun with it, but all my feedback would be repeating what feor also mentioned. Seeing # of souls while brewing is important, since I always brewed on the customer screen. The music panning was nice, but felt too exaggerated. Toning it down would be nice. I also wish I was able to preselect a seed type and just click once for each crop tile as opposed to having to choose the seed type each time I want to plant something.

I enjoyed the gameplay loop, and liked the small Undertale reference you had. Well done!

Really really cute game. Like someone already said making it so you can take back the souls you accidentally put in, as well as being able to see the amount of souls of each kind that you have in your brewing window would be huge steps towards making it easier to enjoy. Being able to differentiate between the crops when they are planted would also help towards that I think. Love the music and core loop, would love to see more work being put into this game, great stuff :)

The relaxing art and ambience kept me playing, but there was something about the way information was displayed that left me feeling like I didn't fully understand what I was doing. Cool game anyway and fun take on the theme.

Cute game, reminds me of Potion Craft) It would be nice to be able to take back souls from the cauldron, if they were not turned into the brew yet.

A few issues with the web version but once i got it working played well and relaxing

Were the orders random? I don't feel like I got the plants required to fulfil my orders?
