Nice job. U can pass the level without using the cauldron tho :)

I love the rainbow critters so much! This is awesome :3

I don't understand anything, but i like it

The 2nd level where my lil red critters burned through the logs? Would've bought this if it were a demo. Great design, I am enjoying the music, quality of life is good with being able to preview the levels and mix up combos prior. An explanation of what the different combos do would be nice, but I figured it out!

Nice work. I only wish there was a fast-forward button, watching these lil guys inch across the ground got a little old after the first level.

I made it to level 3, but when I tried to upend the cauldron the game froze. Probably because I squashed an uncomfortable number of critters into it beforehand :sweat_smile:

The physics of game object is so hilarious! I spent at least 5 minute in the bottle manue to crush them with each other and the pot! Then what intrigues me is the audio effect and the BGM, they are simple and fun, just like the game play, your game reminds me the time I spent on building small soldier battle field when I was little. Good JOB!

"Spill" button should be more visible. Nice use of physics! Funny to watch little blobs doing their job :)

This is super fun. I really like the idea of bewing up things in the cauldron. I wish there was more information in the game about the different creature combos

Really cute audio really makes the creatures feel alive. The concept is really nice but i didnt have that much patience to try to undrestand and test each combinations quircks. Physics are really funny and work well, the little jumpings of the mass is 10/10.

Great game! 🌈 I really liked the colorful creatures - so cute! 😍 The controls are simple and clear, and the physics of the objects makes the gameplay fun and exciting. I especially liked mixing the creatures in the cauldron - it's so much fun! 😂 The music and sound effects add charm. I would like more hints on combinations, but it was fun to experiment! Great job, waiting for new levels! 🎮👾

This is great. Very satisfying to break the bottles, fill up the cauldron and then release the swarm on the level. I love the sound effects.

this feels like an old flash game from back then it's pretty good! would be very easy to expand upon and turn it into something great! I think as far as constructive criticism, gameplay needs a bit more clarity, like what critters have what effects and intuitive understanding of what combinations would give what results but all in all it's pretty. Good job :D

everything about this game is satisfying. i enjoy the presentation of the game and watching your critters go at it is fun. great job here, i loved it.

kirass 2024-10-08 17:42

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

webberiel 2024-10-08 18:27

Insane concept, i can see a lot of potential in it. Cute, interesting creatures. But pure optimisation

thomz12 2024-10-09 03:23

Very fun game! It's very fun seeing all the little guys you made trying to beat the level.

hatmajaster 2024-10-09 18:40

Hey, its a very nicely executed idea. Music, sound cute graphics - that's what its all about. The only issue i had is that i have a bit difficult time in figuring out which critters actually do what - perhaps turning obstacles in the exact same color would help?

lordpika 2024-10-10 09:50

Awesome and fun!! Such a unique concept! well done

mymdz 2024-10-10 12:16

This is probably the most addictive game here. Good work!

thesmellofoxygen 2024-10-10 21:59

Wacky concept that reminds me of the old Potion Mixing flash game with the catapult! I liked the satisfying glass breaking of the bottles, and the spill and swarm effects. I wasn't entirely sure what most of the varieties did beyond the flame one obviously burning wood.

junyi-chen 2024-10-12 14:28

current favorite one in this jam!! have recommended to my friends XD

ani 2024-10-15 22:53

I really like this concept! The physics of the bottles and creatures feel fun to mess around with. I didn't quite understand what the element combinations were doing, but I still enjoyed watching them move and do their jobs :)

j0ye 2024-10-20 18:36

I didn't quite understand the different types of critters. I understand that the fire critters burn, and the magic critter eliminate magic barriers. But I don't know what to do with ice and earth and the mixtures. A tutorial or a guide would have been fantastic. Because the rest is amazing. The sound work well and let the game shine and I love the critters with their animation really feel alive. I played a lot of it for a long time, even tho i didn't understand the types 😅

Wow love the game ! Got stuck on level 9 !
