The mechanic of picking ingredients to construct a certain shape was really unique! I loved solving the puzzle made by each order and you tied it into the brewing theme really well. I thought the pot animation was super charming as well. Great work!

Great take on the theme, good work!

I cant get over how good the cauldron stirring animation looks

Wow this is a lot of fun. Once I started, I couldn't stop playing. Challenging at first but once you get the hang of it its really fun. The art, music, sfx everything fits so nicely together.

Unique idea! Seems simple at first but scales nicely after the first couple ones.

Gives a papa's pizzeria kind of vibe that I can't quite explain in words. Fun game and good work for your first jam especially! Hope you continue to do some more!

Great idea to make it a puzzle game by shapes. I liked that there is progression and also kind of "boss" brewings with short patience

Very cute game. I thought it was simple at first then the later days hit and I was toggling on and off all the time because I wanted it to be perfect hehe

Good job! :)

Well, this was a nice, cozy puzzle potion brewing game! The relaxing, medieval shire music, the fun little sound effects for each of the different potions, easy to pick up mechanics made playing very inviting. The difficulty progression was balanced; day 1 and 2 lull you into a sense of, "Oh, this is easy!" Day 3 I found myself toggling the potions to try and get it to match perfectly. Day 4 started to get challenging with the subtracting potions. It wasn't until a second play through that I noticed the stats were color coded with the potions, so I was able to systematically choose the potions versus randomly toggling to get it to fit. My programming brain kept trying to figure out your potion mechanic algorithm as well :) Did you name the game after the font, or was that a coincidence? My only critique if I had to make one was the brewing animation could've used more polish, but other than that, this was a great entry for the jam. Well done!

Super well put together game! Everything worked smooth and all the attention to detail really shined through. I had blast frantically throwing all my potions into the pot at the end of day 2 when I realized that's what the solution was in the last seconds lolol

I really liked the gradual introduction to the mechanics (transitioning into GOOO mode at the end of day 3 haha) and I thin the polish level is really high! Adding a remove all ingredients button would've been a nice addition as there were a few times where I was like "this is all wrong" and had to spend some time quickly clicking off everything. Once I realized that the ingredients were all organized and how to better read the chart at a glance, the game hooked me (the first 'star' pattern with 4 things maxed and the others at 0 was the puzzle where it clicked that everything was in order with the different stats, seeing them all clicked in with the reducers). Only other thing was how difficult it was to read the dialogue. I liked finishing my potion, checking if I had time, then reading it, but I def missed a ton bc I didn't have enough time lol

P.S. I did it first try! Was hooked all the way through, amazing job!!

Fantastic choice of music, was instantly drawn in and hooked. Sound effects are cool too. I think it is the strongest part of your game. Overall everything is good and fits the theme. The game mechanic starts very easy, has than a good balance, and on day 4 I got wrecked, could not fit in the shapes very good.
I would have gone for a slightly different font, I think the readability is suffering a bit to much here or it is to brutal for my eyes at least. Also i could not really follow the UI on the top, because i was only focussed my view on the center of the game.
So is there more strategie behind it than to fast hover over all possible "ingredienz/puzzle pieces" to see which fits best and than add them after each other?
I like...more...responsiBREWlity ;)
Very good entry for your first jam

i was hooked right from the start! easy to understand and easy to get addicted to it!

Love how thought out and polished this game came out, great job! 

Honestly, amazing! Especially for a first jam. Great level design, great mechanic. Even well polished!

Great use of kenney's UI too.

Not the Deltarune logo font 😭

Really fun and intuitive game, and satisfying to get the shapes exactly filled in (or at least close enough)

Great game! after a while of playing I got the hang of brewing and also learning how each ingredient adds to the potion

Most of the fun in the game comes from testing each possible ingredient and trying to find the right ones. This, combined with the pixel art, music, and sound effects that play when you select an ingredient, creates a very satisfying atmosphere that made me feel like a true alchemist.

One thing I didn't like was that you only get points when you reach the exact stat value required by the client. This limits the possible correct answers to just one and creates moments where you come very close in all categories but still receive a negative score.

I think you should focus on the trial-and-error aspect of the gameplay: randomize the ingredients each round and make the score depend on how close the player gets to the client's request.

Overall, this is a very polished game with a great variety of content for a game jam. The difficulty progression is excellent. I especially liked how you portrayed the customers in a hurry; it creates a sense of urgency that really pulls the player's attention back.

This is a great game. Very satisfying to brew up the perfect potion. 

Very fun game that I got a bit too much into xD, played it for a long time, super cool

and yes, I am reading this

and also, real

All in all, super enjoyable game! Really liked the bits of humor in between :D

Great game! For the first few days I thought it was just gonna be a really simple game and it was a bit too easy, then I got to day 3 and 4 and realized I was wrong lol. Everything was polished. I loved the indepth settings and the sounds! The only flaw I could really find was that the buttons could still be hovered over when you when you went to brew the potion so you'd see all of the ingredient names when the brewing animation was playing. But that's not a big deal at all.
