A little short (unless I am missing something? There is only the poison to make, right?). Feels like an interactive wallpaper - extremely pleasing to look at and listen to! To add some drama to the game, a fail state for going too slow I don't think would be unfair, for example if the ingredients disappeared when the wizard asked for them, leaving you unable potentially to escape. Since the game doesn't take long it would feel too bad","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1037016,"author_name":"Fabou","author_uid":"fabou","epoch":1713225244,"text":"This game is pretty and fun!

Somehow reminds me of Gobliiins. Everything about this is great - the art, the sound, the concept and execution. Welldone. I only wish it would be a bit longer, and maybe if there was a tooltip so I didn't have to look down every time I hovered the pointer over an item. Also, for clarity's sake, maybe the wizard puts the object you give him on the table until he requests a new object, because it was a bit confusing at first.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1060861,"author_name":"Misoukun","author_uid":"misoukun","epoch":1713455902,"text":"Original idea.

It was tough reading the instructions without getting caught but I figured I could just read one ingredient at a time and I managed to win without getting zapped once!

But I got there and escaped.\n\nWhat I think is a big problem of this game is that there is no challenge at all. You can take you time and hover every single item to find the required \/ poison ingredient one and just need to repeat it three times. Some timer might make gameplay a bit better, but to be honest I think there should be something else to make it working.\n\nOn the bright side - I love the minimalistic approach to the art & music, it really lovely. Despite sprites being really small the items are readable and nice. Limited color palette also working quite well.\n\nNice entry mate!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld55\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/stefan-funke.itch.io\/poisonous-pact","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"68451","g_author":"1285680","g_event":"LD55","g_eventkey":"120","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"292198","g_title":"Poisonous Pact","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"23","g_site2_node_id":"390744","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"390744","n_urlkey":"292198","n_parent":"383062","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/poisonous-pact","n_slug":"poisonous-pact","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"285680","n_created":"0","n_modified":"0","n_version":"1217829","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"id":390744,"parent":383062,"_superparent":9,"author":285680,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2024-04-15T22:45:32Z","created":"2024-04-14T11:35:56Z","modified":"2024-04-15T23:04:42Z","_trust":1,"version":1217829,"slug":"poisonous-pact","name":"Poisonous Pact","body":"You were summoned by the great wizard Pebin.
