It is a really cool game! I am amazed you accomplished this in only 2 days. I had a similar idea but did not implemented it because it seemed really difficult to accomplish in only 48 hours.
I can see that you wrote "This game is semi-completed, there is no win or lose conditions" but I do not really think your game needs it. Just taking orders, preparing potions and growing crops is fun enough.
Thanks!
@mariavalcam Thank you so much! If i had more time, i could implement all the things i wanted at first, but im happy with what how it turned out in the end!
This is neat! I played a bit of it and thought it would be really interesting to mix this with a paper's please style of story where you might get suspicious orders like for poison etc and make moral decisions on your orders. Definitely hard to hit that kind of scope for a jam game, but just what came to mind when I first got a request for a love potion and sent the wrong thing by accident. I liked how on the farm there was a potion shop you could click on to return to the crafting while still keeping the quick buttons on the top, I enjoy having both options for traversal and would love to see that expanded.
Love it! Combine items is always funny :D
@ursagames I love that concept! You just made me really inspired, thank you for your idea and feedback!
@luizgt It is! Thank you!
The unique fruits were a nice touch. The harvesting felt a bit shoehorned in and not necessary for the game, but that's how it goes with theme based development. Also had a lot of fun reading the fruit lore.
@pikkufighter Thank you for your feedback! I agree that the harvest theme becomes more of a side thing, but this was the first good idea that came in mind and if i had more time i would add more to it!
I like the ingredient graphics and descriptions.
Didn't realize you got ingredients from a garden, thought it was an auction/market with the plots being counters/stands.
The big R of recipe book made me think pressing R would open it up.
But speaking of recipe book, just having a preset one and not really needing to think about what ingredients to add was a bit disappointing I had slight hope you'd have done something like I tried doing for LD37 but even better than my [terrible attempt](https://mauno.itch.io/alchemist-slave) at making picking ingredients to use in a potion interesting.
I love the concept. I always enjoyed playing these management games. I think if you add a bit more challenge, like knowing what crops to plant or adding timers for each orders, it would be even better. Nice job!
Amazing! I LOVE potion brewing games, I still don't think there are enough of them! Good work!!
The amount of ingredients and potions is impressive, not to mention all the unique sprite art! The nostalgia hit me pretty hard, as I'm a Va11-Hall-A fan. Really great work especially given the short time limit!
I'm impressed that you managed to do so much in such a short time! Great visual effects and brilliant music. Haven't you perhaps thought about continuing to work on the game in the future? I would love to watch its development :wink:
What a good entry! Even though it isn't complete its a relaxing experience and I could see a lot of work went into it! Keep on making games :smile:
I really love potions craft games! And here you have an own garden! A M A Z I N G
Impressive game for only 48 hours a lot of content. Smart video tutorial I’ll keep that in mind next time ty. Ty for making this game liked playing it.
