Funny game! - Nice pixel Art - Polished controls - would have been nice to have a tutorial (I could not cook anything before gettting caught) - also it needs a "Quit" button method since you gave an .exe file instead of WebGL (did i miss it?)

Globally its a really good take for a solo Jam, well done!

I must say it's a good game.If I could understand how to cook, it's very interesting. The smooth music makes me relaxed.Thanks for your game!

I liked this a lot, awesome job building out the cooking mechanics! The most I was able to cook in a single day was 4 bottles of skooma, but I think 5 might be possible... definitely not 6! (or am I wrong??)

I like the art style.Really a cool top-down game!As you can see,the theme isn't out but you have known it so I can talk no more about this game.After the gaurds coming,the game is over but I didn't understand how to play.This game is really interesting after you get to know how to play it.Overall a nice game.Good job for your 72 hours' result.Cheers!

This is amazing! I love it. The only thing that could improve it would be some sort of menu system for game start and game over. The most I could cook was 4 bottles.

This was pretty fun. Making the Skooma was a challenge in itself but having the guards come by randomly heightened the challenge. The way you interact with the world was a really neat idea. Really made me have to look closer at what was around me and take inventory.

One thing I would say that wasn't clear to me was that I had to move the bookcase when the guards came in. I had to be right on top of the bookcase to even see that there was something to interact with.

I loved your adaptation of the music too. Good job! Thanks for making this!

Pretty cool game! It was a lot of fun messing with the different cooking mechanics, and I liked how some of them required simply waiting while others required mashing space. This actually made the game more immersive, I guess, as things that require waiting, such as boiling water, also required waiting in the game... while things that require physical effort, such as mashing things in a mortar and pestle, require me to physically mash space! Just some fun design.

The first time I played I thought the "secret room" was just automatically secret and so I didn't understand how the guards saw inside it. Later I figured out about the bookshelf, however, which is another fun mechanic.

I don't entirely understand the purpose of the skooma dealer, as it doesn't seem like there is much difference between selling skooma out the door or waiting for the dealer... in particular it doesn't seem like there's much penalty either way. But perhaps that's just due to lack of time.

I think the graphics are pretty nice and they are quite readable as well. It's fun that the pots can be turned sideways.

Overall, quite a fun game to play through, even if the selling mechanics aren't too fleshed out.
