You Are What You Eat by Marjie62

[raw]
made by Marjie62 for LD33 (JAM)
You're a wizard who has run out of ingredients! Use ingredients from your local grocery store to create new appearance-altering potions!

Each ingredient has 2 aspects, and different potions require different sets of aspects. But you don't know which ingredients have which aspects. Experiment to discover the aspects of different ingredients, and which potions cause which effects. However, as potions change your appearance, local shoppers may become frightened of you!

Nice little game here, it fits the theme pretty well. First I found some recipes and changed the character's looks but in the end when there were too much ingredients and when the speed increased I just clicked around so see what happened. I didn't get the "aspect" system.
Good job nonetheless, maybe this entry could be worked into a more complete game :)

Nice graphics, music and controls, but I was a bit confused.
I think I have to guess the aspects and annotate them in the pause menu, but I wasn't sure what the final goal was.

Since the game was so fast, it was impossible to work out the aspect system. But it's a cool idea! Keep working on it :)

I love the idea of the game but it feels too simple.
Anyway, nice job!

It was a fun and funny game. Had a little trouble with understanding the aspect system as well.

The game is very funny but it's very complicated.
It's hard to understand everything and the speed of the game don't help us to since the beginning.
A progressive tutorial would be perfect.

Else, the concept is really cool and I particularly like the introduction music.

Good job !

Really cool game, the idea of becoming different monsters by doing different potions is excellent!
Finished is bubble hair/legs/arms and dragon wings!

At first I was kind of lost and I didn't know what I was supposed to do, took me some time to understand what recipes were right. The recipes interface is a bit confused but I get it after some time!

Interesting idea, but I had no idea where to even begin considering aspects. I also didn't see any shoppers--would have been interesting to see how they reacted to my inexplicably green skin. An interesting concept, but I think it was pretty unclear what to observe to make any conclusions.

The aspect part was a bit hard so most of the time I brewed random stuff. But the brilliant audio, voice acting and rather frenzied pace of the game kept me glued to the monitor for more than fifteen minutes. He is disgusting! lol
