The game is quite hard for me.\n\nBTW I made a COMPO game also called [**Unstable Potions**](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/49\/unstable-potions) :) but the mechanics are totally different. Please consider checking it out rating it if you haven't yet :smile: \n\nEdit:\nI also suggest you guys to port it to WebGL version (in Unity it shouldn't be any problem). You should get more ratings that way because some people don't rate non-web games. I usually don't but this time I was very courious how you approached the topic of potions :)","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":732093,"author_name":"Devez","author_uid":"devez","epoch":1633463115,"text":"Unfortunately I could not figure it out, way too many combinations from all these ingredients :D \n\nI liked the pixel art, music and mood though, good job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":732395,"author_name":"bunchanurds","author_uid":"bunchanurds","epoch":1633464584,"text":"Loved it!

The aesthetic is nice, graphically and musically it all works, but the gameplay really lets it down.\n\nThere is too much that you can do upfront and it is overwhelming. I found myself randomly clicking on things to figure out how to even start brewing. For a good while I assumed the pictures next to the cauldron were a clue to what items you needed to use, so I just grabbed items that looked somewhat similar to them.\n\nThe item descriptions weren't clear enough on some of them, I tried to use the wobbly plant for the first potion and was confused as to why it didn't work, the item description seemed to fit the note, it left a bad taste in my mouth. After that I just tried every combination of plant until I got the right one; this isn't fun, you feel like you're hitting a roadblock every time you make progress.\n\nSo overall, it could have used more tutorialisation, and it could have started with fewer items to use from the get-go. It can definitely work with just those small changes.

I like the art and sound too. However, it was quite hard in the beginning to figure out what to do with the items and even the fire and ice thing wasn't too clear. I made so many combination but still haven't figured out the first potion. I thought it should onion tears, wobbly and horn, but seems like only wobbly is correct.\n\nAnyway, I think this would be amazing if the UI were to be improved. Also probably can have a clue button or explanation what does stable mean. I made a few stable potions but none of them are the right one.\n\nGood job!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":745411,"author_name":"Wubbl","author_uid":"wubbl","epoch":1633591930,"text":"Thank you all for the feedback.\nWe had a tutorial planned in the beginning and to restrict the ingredients for each level.
