Really fun, graphics were nice as well. Only issue was the player felt very slippery, very polished.

Fun game! The flying dynamic is difficult to master, with the momentum and all, but it does make it more fun.

Good entry. Awesome graphics, the controls fit flying on a broom really well. Fun little game...well done.
Cute little witch with a lead broom foot :)
Very cute fun game! I love the art style and the gameplay of flying around the map is super fun and chill, especially with the music. I also love the lose animation, so fun!
Very cute and fun game! I LOVE the artstyle, especially the blue potion cottage on the top left of the map. The flight momentum felt right, just floaty enough to be somewhat challenging but satisfying once you've got it down. The only thing I would change would just be the audio balancing - the pickup/system sounds feel a little too loud compared to the background music. Overall, great job!
Nice game! Got to the end screen. Noticed a bug where if you switched from left to right real quick, you'd stay going left instead of switching direction. Other than that was a solid entry!
cute gamae rlly adorable had fun playing it!!!!!!!!! c: wish it would become harder over time so I could play it more also omg i love the cutscene so much where you fall off your broom its ADORABLE I LOVE IT omg I LOVE THIS GAME <3
@booremi Hello!!! The game's artist here - TwT Thank you, your comment made my day <3
Cute game!! Like the art style too. but i`m not comfortable with the fly movement control
very cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The art style is adorable, I love it. The flying felt great, though there was one moment where I really flew off kilter and it was wonky... but in kind of a good way?! Maybe there's something to that very-rare-janky behavior being intentionally implemented.
Very well made for a quick jam!
hehe @daveybb @vary @paroxysmal @melpomephy yup, the slippery flight's a feature *:)*
gotta love a bit of janky-behaviour in a jam game, right?
This is excellent game very fun in a janky game jam game way. Love the art style and music.
Well now this was adorable. Even with a lil "jank", the flying was fun and the lil town is cute! I want to see more of this lil witches adventure. :smile:
great art
It is a great game with a great art, but with more type of level would be great.
I liked it (finished it, too), it's a neat little game for a jam! I was kind of worried at first because the controls weren't written down anywhere, but there's an ingame tutorial that explains them and it was intuitive to figure everything out.
A few details that come to mind: - The scroll speed of the text was rather slow imo, so it would've been nice to allow the player to uncover the text by pressing space before it's finished displaying. - The waving of the text is cute, but it made it slightly harder to read. Not a problem for a game jam, but something that should be considered for larger works. - It felt as though sometimes my directional input didn't cause the movement direction to change. Not because of the inertia but rather as if my input didn't register. Not 100% sure on this one though.
Really cute game and nice art. Loved the idea as kiki delivery is favourite movie of mine!
The flying was difficult at first but i finally managed it. It's a cute game =) I liked the explanations of the controls at the beginning of the game
The cover art is SOO good! It really drew me in to play your game! I also like the cute wiggling potion bottles on the itch.io page. The music is so fitting and SO beautiful! It's a really simple idea for a game and it works so well!
Movement feels a bit junky. It seems that if you want to fly in the opposite direction it is easier to stop first and then go in the other direction, rather then pressing buttons for the opposite direction right away (for some reasons you will continue to go in the initial direction). But other than that, nice and simple game. Good job!
This game is adorable!!! Simple and fun gameplay, the art is super cute <3 !! Also the itch.io background with the potions is a super nice touch :3 !! Loved it
Nice little game :) It felt very cute and obviously has a lot of polish going into it. My main issue would be the UI, maybe it's my jam-exhausted brain, but the buy/sell UI was kind of hard for me to understand for me at first. I think it would've helped to use something more telling than red stars / green stars. The sound was great, too!
A cute little game - it was a lot of fun - but now I am bound - until this rhyme here is done!
I wrestled my keyboard - as I got yeeted away. - In the end though I finished - and buckled down to stay.
To finish this rhyme - in honor of your game - and now I am free - as I reached my aim!
After seeing the rhyming controls, I felt spellbound to come up with something ;)
Cute game and nice art. I like it!
Damn, this was cute!
I really like the poems, wish I could honor them with rhymes!
Very cute visuals and a cute song to accompany! Excellent way to present the tutorial also.
I did a second run just to check the game over, nice pictures on the player defeat event. My only gripe with the game was that there seemed to be some heavy drag when moving to the right. I had to hold left for a long time until the broom started to turn. Made it slightly more challenging but it felt wonky.
Overall very good! Congratulations!
Really nice cut scenes with nice art. I liked how floaty the broom felt, it was the perfect amount.
i really had trouble understanding how play this. i really liked the animations so i am impressed with what i could play. thanks for making it.
Extremely cute and very polished, and a satisfying and game loop. Controls have a bit of a learning curve, but I think they are fairly well executed.
Just add more content (Potions, Cities, etc) and you'll have a nice commercial game on your hands!
Simple but fun! Artwork is lovely, and the ending dialog left me feeling good :smile_cat: Music and sounds fit perfect, well done!
*the pixel shimmering is a bit of a bummer, but no big deal.
@luxiffre Thank you!! Very helpful feedback :D
@archaeognathus I'M GOING TO CRY THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING EVER QwQ
Hello, the game's artist here (and writer of all of the in-game poems!), this comment absolutely made my day, thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
@weirdbitgames Hello!!! The artist here! Thank you so much, your words are so sweet ^w^
@louiejams Finally someone made a Kiki's reference!! Thank you, it was on our mind the moment we brought up a witchy idea! <3 I'm so glad you enjoyed!
@niz Thank you so much!! :D Thank you for your feedback~~
@ismael-rodriguez Thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it!! ^w^
@t-c @smeljey @niz @fiinrii @melpomephy @paroxysmal @luxiffre
to all fellow witches in training, there’s a slight update on this game for those who wish for a new broom~
Many witches commented below, About how the movement was janky and slow, Until now! The update has come to their aid, And now every broomstick glides like a blade.
if you wish for smoother movement, download and use v-0.0.6 otherwise, if you prefer the ‘classic’ janky way, download the LD version and let us know!
happy flying :)
It was very charming!Love the art(especially the mini cutscenes) and the music!The movement felt a bit slow(played the LD version) but I kind of like it tho it is probably improved in the v-0.0.6 which I will check out now!
A sweet and fun game. Good luck!
really nice to chill :D really nice art (the house are <3 ) ! i enjoyed doing loops while flying
Very charming game and well polished!
It's a really cute game that reminded me of Kiki's Delivery Service. The concept is simple but very engaging. The intro is well-crafted to help us understand the controls and our objective. Thank you for this discovery!
Really cute game and well done! But something I was doing with the movement keys kept freaking out the character controller and launching me in weird directions haha. Still managed to spread love and kindness throughout the town despite it, though! Great job :)
I played your game and I just wanted to say that it's really fun! The flying dynamic can be a bit tricky to master, what with the momentum and all, but it adds a lot to the game and makes it even more enjoyable. Keep up the good work!
This game is so sweet! The flying tripped me up initially but it ended up being really fun wheeling around like that. The art is wonderful and it's just a very sweet and interesting take on the theme.
adorable game =D i liked the floaty movement and also the designs of the houses and clouds and of course the witch :3
Really cute game :-) Sometimes I had a little bit of trouble with controlling the broom but I think it was intentional. I love the sound design :-) It took me 1m51s to deliver potions :D
The concept is really cool ! A little more complexity would have been nice!
Really cute game! I loved the cutscenes at the start and the end, and the witch was a lot of fun to control.
A great JAM game. Well done, short and to the point. I found it difficult to fly the broom, but I imagine it must be really difficult. I'm still holding bottles. :D
Congratulations!
I loved the cute and lovely art that game spread with its art style, music and theme. it was really fun to play even if i sometimes floated a little bit to hard trough the map. overall great Game!
Nice! The music is great and really makes the mood. Quite challenging to steer when you gain the speed
Awww I love this! The lil red witch herself is very cute and the game reads like a nursery rhyme. On top of being absolutely adorable, I found the movement very interesting. Sometimes it's a little tricky to just turn around, but I think that's fitting to the character arc in the story, and the design doesn't punish you all that much for delays so there's some good nuance there. Fantastic entry! :heart:
