Figure out how to brew potions to fulfill the incoming orders.
\nDo well and you unlock new ingredients resulting in new kinds of orders.
\nBut don’t make too many mistakes or you can close your store.
Amazing and super cute graphics, love the style of it. Gameplay is quite fun at first, but gets pretty simple pretty quickly. Upgrades and more ingredients could help there, but for a short experience its still nice.

\nI was missing a little bit more animations, like the ingredients flying to the cauldron or the clients shown as emojis maybe.
\nAlso, there were some recipes I never found out…

You could also add a soundtrack. The game is fun overall, good luck!

\nThe graphics and animations are well done
\nThe sound of the cat was surprisingly well done for 13kb
\nIt would be good if you could have multiple orders on the go at once, or perhaps be able to see the customers

I used Audacity to cut out the sound part I wanted and then exported it as mp3 with the lowest settings possible, resulting in a 960 bytes file. I then converted it to a Uint8Array and included it in the code. Not sure if that last part made much of a difference in file size though.

It would be great if there were some ingredient hints, or if there were more of them and they appeared a bit faster. The game is really nice and has lots of potential — for example, you could add some equally cute music, and then it’s easy to get stuck playing for 30 minutes straight. Thanks for the game, and good luck with your future projects!

\nPesky customers, though! Wasn’t always sure what they wanted :(

I loved the sound effects. I found some of the orders quite tricky to figure out and that led to too many mistakes and game over. On replays I resorted to trial and error on some. Maybe an indirect hint on mouse over of the ingredient to suggest benefits.

\nI liked the variety of hints to help you make the potions.
\nWell done

\nEvery time I get the potion for mixed feelings, it’s always incorrect. The only one left is the Mushroom Potion! Hahaha…
\nReally enjoyed playing!
I really love the concept of this game! It’s so cute, the cat is cute, I like the ingredients. It’s fun figuring out what they want. I do feel that there is so much polish here! A recipe book would be fun, to show what we’ve made before, otherwise well done.

\nGood work on this submission! I really enjoyed playing and thought the graphics and audio effects were fantastic.
\nThe UI/UX was well done as well, and the subtle animations adding effect make this game a 5/5 for me.
\nI recorded a video review for all the games here so that you can see my initial reaction while playing, which is often quite helpful from a user experience perspective. https://www.youtube.com/live/jl6pC4OnVJA?si=hadQmN9JZB93hDUM
