It might be better if there was some punishment for sending people to the town. Because then you can just spam everyone there till you have maxed it out and then spam the rest of the areas...\rThe game is fairly easy to understand and the graphics help with that.\rLove the story, it really touched me!"},{"author_name":"Saladon","author_uid":"33105","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 1:19pm","epoch":1460985240,"text":"Nice going with the clicker type theme.

Ehm, okay :) Anyway, I guess this game could do with a bit more challenge. It's just a matter of waiting and clicking the right buttons. The UI could be a bit more streamlined, e.g. a single larger button to toggle between map and brewing, or put both on one screen; and selecting a minion to give a potion shouldn't require another "Validate!" click. Stuff like that :) Oh, I like the music, simple but effective!"},{"author_name":"aeveis","author_uid":"8854","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 6:36am","epoch":1461306660,"text":"beat the game! I think it was pretty straight forward, I didn't really feel I need to use the potions to go faster. I did use the king's potion, which caused minions to keep joining so that they went off the screen (I suspect maybe causing the game to use up a whole lot of memory as minions keep joining). But after that, supplies were pretty easy to get and it was just making the right pots."},{"author_name":"Chaoslab","author_uid":"5609","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 8:00am","epoch":1461398100,"text":"Cool game.

Unfortunately I got stuck on the "give potion" screen quite early on, and no amount of clicking on any of the buttons would get me out. I still enjoyed my time playing, even if it wasn't always clear what I was supposed to be doing.
