Nice game :) I like graphics.. so many pots!!

A bit short, but still a good idea. It can be developed further adding modification to the process and other content.

Great take on the theme! Nice well executed game with some good art and funny writing.

Pretty interesting "I Spy" or "Where's Waldo" type of game, looking for the right lamp was a pretty fun idea. It gets a bit repetitive after a while, so maybe some kind of twist on the lamp searching would make it more repeatable. Nice job!

Nice game! Perfect music to set the mood and I love the different descriptions. I wonder if it's totally randomized or how the rubbing works. Can you get djinn on the first try?

Good job.

@coderaurus Thanks!

There is constant number of lamps/flasks with exactly one djinn, and constant number of other items. But types and placement is random, so yes, you could find it on first try. Rubbing requires some pixel distance to open bottle (random within a range). There is some multiplication depending on rubbing speed, but it could get some tweaking, but there was not enough time left for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It could get some tweaks, but I'm still happy how it turned out, considering how little time I had during Jam days :)

Aladdin will appear and take the lamp? Interesting idea and implementation of the jam theme. Thank you!

Nice idea!!!

I had to replay this several times to read more of the item descriptions, so well done! :)

Rubbing was a bit tricky at first, but luckily I have one of those fancy dpi-adjustable mice and slowing it down made it very doable.

A very nice take on the theme!

Nice one. Cool graphics and fun :)

The different messages and the vases breaking added personality to the game. I wished there was some more game play to this.

Fun idea, funny writing, and charming atmosphere! The music was lovely.

Fun idea but would be great to see more interactions. Imagine throwing some vase and suddenly evil spirit appears and you have to somehow imprison him back
