The aesthetic here is really nice, and the potion crafting is an interesting mechanic. I wish there was some sort of display to tell you what the potion did, more than just the icon. Also, I don't think there is any way to backspace while making potions, which goes well with alchemy, I suppose, but was frustrating when I typed a S and meant an A.
Yeah sorry about the potion system being frustrating and the lack of tooltips for the potions it was my intention to add these mechanics but I ended up trying to make too many potions with the time i had allotted so some of the most important features were unfortunately left out. I greatly appreciate you playing the game and hope you have a good rest of your day.
Well, a week is a rather short amount of time. Tooltips got left on the cutting room floor for mine as well.
Gameplay here:
Thanks for uploading your gameplay I appreciate the thorough playthrough despite the bugs you encountered. I had intended to add hover descriptions for the potions similar to the effects but never had the time for it. The tutorial was also meant to be a full on demo of the dungeon. I think I was just too ambitious with the project idea given the time constraint. I appreciate your playthrough and your patience despite the issues with the game. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
