the people animations are great! and the music is fantastic ^-^
Yeah it is a little bit too much, lost time for playtesting it properly. :(
I uploaded a bugfixed version - you could try that one :)
@kyavi Thank you also for playing!
Thanks for your suggestion to tighten the space! I actullay did that in the new bugfix version, as it was unnecessary large amount of unused space.
businessman :D Well done!
* *Please* don't make me install. It's such a pain. It should just be an exe that runs when you click it.
* Fullscreen mode please!
* I found some of the fonts were too small.
Anyway, great work!
@seb-jones Thank you for your feedback!
- True I'll check if Gamemaker supports that!
- Yeah I will consider that for future entries.
- That is true, I had the problem where either the small was too small or to blurry, I went with the first one. Will check on a better solution in the future.
Very well done.
I never needed to make two of the potion types :shrug: but still, I managed to complete.
Although, 4 customers were unhappy until I actually managed to do it.
With a bit more depth, this could easily be the speed running heaven :)
Great game for compo, keep up the good work.
