I like the chill atmosphere. Seems like there isn't much to do unfortunately. Started repeating potion orders, so I don't think there's an end. There were plenty of ingredients except for the roots which only have 4 respawn points and a pretty long respawn time. The graphics are lovely and overall it's a really nice and chill game.

Hey,
promising prototype. I really liked it. It was a bit frustrating to wait for the needed resources to spawn, especially the roots and leafs, which spawn random and do not have dedicated spots, like the fruits and flowers. And when delivering a potion the NPCs spoke a different language (I think Spanish, not sure though).

@obittner ohhh sorry, I forgot to translate some line :(( ... now I'm uploading a version with everything translated and a little more balanced the collection of roots and leaves (the respawn time).
Thank you very much for notifying :) and I hope the failures have not been a bother

The art and aesthetic is cute :)
I think there are too many ingredients and different potion types in the beginning though, it felt overwhelming. Would be more motivating if there was some promise of what comes next (what can I do with the money?)

@francis At the moment the coins work a bit like the score of the game, I would have loved to be able to introduce progression systems, unlocking potions and giving the coins a use, but the lack of time and problems that arose in the jam have made it difficult for me to add more content...
A book with the recipes to see how each potion was made would have been a great help (although I will release an update soon with more content outside of the jam!)
But thank you very much for the feedback and I hope that the experience playing has been satisfactory and relaxing.

This one is relaxing. Calmly crafting potions, no timer, no game over, no stress, and that's fine :)
I'm almost certain the graphics assets are from the sunnyside world assets pack, if this is the case, you should mention it ;)

@rezioz Yeah, I love cozy games and I wanted to make one for a Jam hehe!
The map tiles come from a free repository that appears without an author/anonymous author... otherwise I would mention him. But thanks for the warning.
All the designs have been made by me during the Jam, except the magician NPC that I did a while ago.

The game looks and plays nice, but I only have 2 complaints:
- The feathers are very hard to gather (or slow). The first assignment required 4 and in a few minutes, I did not manage to get more than 3.
- Some of the items you can interact when they are not visible (and I think it delays them from re-spawning) so accidentally I might have clicked the bird that provided the feather when hidden and delayed even more.

Anyways, it is a nice game, good job!

@pauvictor Sorry if these problems have spoiled your experience, in a couple of hours I will upload an updated version slightly changing the wait times. I also fixed the interacting thing in that version. Sorry for the bugs :((
Thank you very much for playing it and I hope it was a pleasant experience!

@ethernal-tech I did not want to offend, it is a great effort, well done! Just wanted to point out the bugs I found :). I'll try again tomorrow and see the updated version. Thanks!

Cute game! I like the sprite work, it's well done.

Nicely done! This was the most chill game I have played so far. The art felt "warm", for lack of a better word, and the lack of a timer was welcome!
As a small thing, physical keybinds would have been nice, as I use the Dvorak layout, so I ended up having to press keys in weird places.

@technoporg I'm glad that the game has transmitted that feeling to you, my idea is to move through cozy games and I'm glad to feel that people like the idea, thank you very much :) <3
You're right, an option to change the keys would have been very good to provide more accessibility... When I update the project I'll keep it in mind and for future Jams!!

The idle animations look amazing. I always love playing any games to do with potions! You hit the theme pretty well too! It's obvious you put a lot of effort into your game. Overall, cool!

The game is very cute and I love the whole vibe of picking up ingredients and making potions. My biggest gripe has to be that some of these potions look very similar. For example there are several that look like the dark potion (although I finally realized it was the second one in the list 😅). At least everything respawns fast so I didn't feel too bad.
