You are a witch. Not the greatest one of all, far from it! You’re just an apprentice — everyone has to start somewhere. Your master has asked you to tidy up his cellar in order to channel all the magic as efficiently as possible. Sounds easy enough, right? But that’s without taking into account your master’s pet cat, who has plenty to say about it… and seems quite determined to get in your way.
\nIn this game, you’ll have to deal with magical items. Some of them have special properties:
\nVery fragile. If another item falls on it, or if it falls by itself, it will break.
\nPlace your potions carefully so nothing can fall on them.
The more grimoires are placed next to each other, the higher their magic score will be.
\nTry to place grimoires next to each other.
Needs water. When watered, it will grow if there’s enough space, increasing its magic score.
\nWater them as soon as there’s space so they can grow!
The witch can cast spells to aid her in her task.
\nWhen starting a level, each spell costs 0 magic. This cost increases after each use (but is capped at 5).
Rotate all items in the reserve 90° to the left or right. Useful for optimizing space when tidying up items.
\nCast this spell on the cat to make it run.\nMaybe casting it on a dried plant will do something…
\nDestroy any item in the cellar. This spell is meant to get rid of the cat’s junk, but you can also remove your Master’s items if needed.

Something really sublime about playing the same game twice, with different objectives.
\nThe actual gameplay was a little opaque, it was kind of hard to tell what good play would look like. But I was able to guess my way thru it on the first try.

The short intro and music are great. I would have loved to play as the cat instead of the witch, though! 🐱

\nThe whole concept of all items having a purpose to increse magic great!
\nThe potion sound shattering was a really nice touch.
\nI like that you made up names even for the spells.

Really neat idea to create two games with the same core gameplay - it feels like telling one story from different perspectives.\nThe music was a bit too sharp for my taste, but it’s definitely fun and energetic.\nThanks for your work! :)

The art style’s cute and polished, which totally adds to the charm. If anything, I’d love more complex challenges down the road, but it’s already a super fun game.

Great audio and graphics and theme. For the gameplay I didn’t understand the strategy if there is any for a lot of things: I didn’t see the point in expelling the cat, since it comes back and it doesn’t seem to matter where the cat is and it can push anything from anywhere. I didn’t see a point in rotating since there’s always room for stuff. I didn’t see any strategy of where to put things, except that you need room for the plant to grow, and to put the jars under something so they don’t break. You could make it so the candle gives more points when there’s nothing above it, and the cauldron could have synergy where something falls into it, and the broom gets +1 when pushed to the side etc.

\nThe graphics were good, the game was fairly easy to play, but lots of rules
\nPlacing of the items is quite specific, so I had to take care
\nI didn’t get any audio when I played (Firefox)
