Totally Stable Alchemy by KutaryouShinkoku
You will play as Anna the Alchemist, who is not even able to stab a chicken without hands shaking and back sweating. The only talent she’s got, is collecting weird ingredients and making various potions. Be ensured that, the entire process of potion-making, as well as the effects of the mixtures, have been well-tested, therefore perfectly stable. No circumstance such as explosions or inducing fear has EVER occurred. Now, the monsters from another dimension, have gathered to invade the village. It’s time, to utilize the oh-so-great and absolutely stable alchemy, to protect the once peaceful land.

No tutorials or explaination of the combinaisons, all available at the begging.
I'm not sure if I can gather more than 3 items at the same time.
No way to retry/reset the game, so the only way to restart is to alt+f4 and open the game again.
I like the music and the graphics
Didn't knew I could double jump, that's nice!
I don't know if there's a way to add at least a retry button when we lose/die and a button to close the game but it would help a lot! :slight_smile:
@gabriel-chan Thank you for your love!
I like graphics and the idea.
@nebrazif Thanks for your like XD
At the very beginning, we wanted to build up an exciting and diversifying gameplay, I know that's a challenge for us especially in 72 hours, but we decided to try. How to say, the final result is satisfying but with a few problems, maybe we will do better next time. lol

Sometimes the gathering speed could feel a bit tedious, if I had to do it three times in a row, and to brew right after that as well though.
Also I found a bug where if you started brewing, and press to gather right after, it would instantly brew black sludge into inventory.
All in all, good game, and good luck with the jam!
Using green potion, I walked over directly with the boss. Ahahaha
Maybe more guidance in game would be better.
Except for the green potion which has a plus sign, I am very clear that it is treatment. In fact, I am not sure about the effects of the other kinds of potions.
Maybe it would be better to make the snake easier to be killed, so I can know better if I cause a damage
I agree with other comments that the game is a bit on the slow and obscure side, but with a bit of guess work and trial and error you realize that flowers mostly give you a healing potion and the snake with neutral ingredients just absolutely wrecks the monster.
I think having a hover menu or a tiny indicator of what exactly the potion does woul've gone a long way because you see the green one and immediately know it heals but I still don't know what the aqua one does.
Still a fantastic overall effort and congratulations to your team!
Спасибо за игру!
Find out what potions can be made with what materials, and also find out the effects of the potions made, I need to play it many times to remember it.😂
Trying out different ingredient combinations is fun.
I could not figure out how to throw potions, but looking at the screenshots and description that's more my fault than the games.
