The graphics are very cute. Animations are smooth, as well as the controls. I would have liked to have a name next to the potion icons to remind me which one is which. I can see not having a name there would add extra challenge though. Cute idea. Keep up the good work.
Really could use sound. Even recorded. I didn't realize I used up my potions without a sound effect. Took me longer than it should have to figure out that was a cauldron. Walk speed could be faster. When you walk away from the host notes, they should automatically close. Otherwise you can't close them. Really like the graphics!
I struggled to remember/know what everything did, it would be nice to have labels. I like that in place of actual sounds the clock had text saying tick and tack, that entertained me. It was also funny to walk into a room and just see the couch flying around. It seemed like only the third potion did anything. I did apparently win in the end.
my favorite thing about this was the ghost shading, clever way of fresnel. I would maybe keep the recipes on screen because I had a bad time remembering.
Game is preety, Unfortunately I wasn't able to tell if potions are working or not. Some feedback after throwing would be nice.
I can agree to what others already wrote its a nice game with cool visuals. I had some problems indicating if the potions i use have an effect on the ghost. I think this has potential keep up developing and your next projects gonna be great.
At first I had a glitch with not being able to close the letter because I moved away from the interaction spot while it was open but I realised and walked back and was able to close it. This is a very intriguing take on the theme and I like it. A little more polish, especially sound, would be nice though it works with what you were able to create. Good job!
Great game, a bit confusing at the start to make the potions but I got it at the end. Maybe is missing some feedback when you stop the ghosts
Oooo, love the design of those ghosts!👻
Really cute game, love the art of the ghosts and the characters as well. The clock was charming an the little giggling pumpkins. I would have loooved to hear little sound bites, for the atmosphere. I would have liked to know what exactly the numbers on the top right stand for. Otherwise I agree with the other people, I had a hard time sorting the colors of the potions to their effect, but that was fine. Fun game, and congratulations for publishing this all on your own!
I think I know what I will do this weekend :3
Cool game!
