I like how chaotic it was. I think your game would benefit from a splash screen of sorts-- for me, it starts on a black screen and I have to hit space to start. Oh, and the score doesn't reset when you restart the game. The music is perfect, BTW! Nice game."},{"author_name":"garygreen","author_uid":"13914","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 10:53pm","epoch":1450219680,"text":"I liked the back story to this, and it's a tricky little game. :-)"},{"author_name":"amYk777","author_uid":"65735","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 8:18am","epoch":1450426380,"text":"Too hard to focus on two totally different, fast moving things on opposite sides of the screen at the same time"},{"author_name":"knason","author_uid":"65229","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 8:49pm","epoch":1450557840,"text":"I liked this game a lot, it was really fun and addictive, hard though but really fun.

The backstory is funny and original. I like that it speeds up with time. The music is excellent, though the sound effects are a bit too loud.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics need work. They're not without charm, but they're lacking clarity: for example, I wasn't expecting the potion to come out of that end of the pipe, and it cost me a few vials figuring it out.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A bug: the score didn't reset itself after I died. Also, some ingredients are spaced so closely that you can't avoid grabbing both at the same time. I also found a bug where the hand would get stuck and glitch at the top of the screen.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Those problems aside, I played this a lot of times, so the gameplay is addictive enough.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you make a post-compo version, ingredients with different effects would be cool (for example, a rare one that counteracts toxicity)."},{"author_name":"srakowski","author_uid":"26664","time":"Dec 29, 2015 @ 1:57am","epoch":1451353920,"text":"I was pretty confused at first, but this is a pretty stellar game.

Any other ingredient will degrade the quality of the mix\r\nand possibly cause awful side effects.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, you need to fill in the vials with the potions - be careful\r\nnot to waste any liquid!\r\n\r\nUse \"Q\" to grab an ingredient from the line and \"P\" to fill the vial.\r\n\r\nPoints are scored for vials that reach distribution with a good quality potion,\r\nso keep an eye on the bars left of the cauldron. A red Poison bar means the\r\ncurrent mix is toxic, and yellow bat\/spider bars means the mix is not well\r\nbalanced.\r\n\r\nWasted (empty) vials and bad potions will lower your score. If deliver\r\na bad series of vials, the distributer will go away and you'll have to\r\nclose the shop.
