This has cool mechanics, and it's very addictive, too. Haha.
Thank you so much for playing! Means a lot ^^
The game is cool, I love games with card and card pack mechanics. I did get stuck at one point though as I couldn't get to three essence: whenever I would make the cauldron interact with the tree, the wood card would fly off screen and wouldn't be accessible so I couldn't use it as fuel. Still a cool game though!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Glad you had a good time despite the bug. We'll look into fixing this issue :)
really great game concept. I really like how i can manage and sort my cards. I can imagine later on to have a lot of workers gathering alot of resources at the same time and beeing satisfied brewing alot of potions lol. I also liked that it was kinda like a puzzle and i always hoped to get the rare card. Its like a trading card game opening boosters when gathering ressources.
Thank you so much for your in-depth feedback!
A very funny game. I hope to see more!
Thank you for playing our game ^^
This is really, really awesome! I want more!
Thank you! Glad you had a good time :)
This is a reeeaaaally fun game loop and there's a lot of potential for a cool story or more puzzles with these mechanics! I kinda hope you guys keep developing this game 👀
Thank you so much for playing our game! We're planning to expand this concept during the summer months ^^
Very nice! I like both the visuals and the gameplay! It was a bit short but that's to be expected with a gamejam game lol, I hope you continue to create this! I had a blast!
Very satisfying to play but wish it didn't have to end so soon :( Looking forward to the full release!
Thank you so much for your feedback ♥️
Very fun game! i really wish there was more! I was so zoned in... I hope to see it expanded on!
great concept, nicely done - would love to see more!
Thanks, means a lot to us! ♥️
Pretty cute! I got stuck, not sure how to get 3 essence. Could be good if there are hints, if you are stuck!
Thanks for playing!
If you hover over the new tool you got from the quest, it should tell you how to get the essence.
