Fantastic game, had a lovely experience! Every part was lovingly made and it really showed <3
Where do I even begin? The music is of course amazing. The characters are really readable for that small amount of pixels. I also really like the library tile set.
Amazing work!
Thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for playing !!!
i played the game and it's quite good !
It looks great, the story is simple but nice, the music is awesome, an overall good experience
I'll just say that the controls are a bit weird, it's a little hard to control, it's kinda slippery and i would put the pickup and jump action on 2 separate button
But it's still a really good game !
Thank you for playing !!
I agree, the controls are VERY retro and we ran into issues with having the "Interact" button the same as the "Jump" button. Unfortunately, this is a limitation in GB Studio and we couldn't change it ;( However! With this experience, we feel confident to work with stronger, more powerful engines where we can have more control over the... controls LOL
Thank you for the feedback and thank you for taking the time to play! :D
Excellent job! Everyone did such a great job on this game! Hard to imagine it was Sam and Jada's first jam experiences with how POLISHED this looks! Your writing is stellar as always and the setting is SO well established
They CARRIED the game!! I gotta say, they did a stellar job! (I think they're lying about it being their first jam 🤨). Thank you for playing and for your kind words !!
You all absolutely killed it. What a polished, beautiful game! Camilla's sprite sleepily going about her tasks reads so well and I love the stirring of the cauldron. "One will heal you and one will kill you" made me giggle. All of the screens/areas are absolutely lovely.
I especially love the mushroom area and the HUGE trees. The music here matched perfectly too.
I played twice. Once to do it correctly and once to do it incorrectly. The sound effect when you get it wrong was PERFECT. And the screen here? WOW. Beautiful room, Dracula sprite.... all of it was just stellar.
I really enjoyed playing and am excited to hear more about the making of it from you three!
Thank you so much for the kind words !!!! Me, Jada and Sam will be participating in DaringJam, just for you ;3c
Great work, team! The music is great, the backgrounds are sooo good (especially the library!), and the controls perfectly hit that old-school-platformer feel. I like the characters too! Sequel when? >:3c
I give Symphony of Mixtures five out of five FishMoleys
Make sure you get both endings!
Thank you for the FishMoley score, means a lot !! Ty for playing and for your kind words!!
this is so heckin charming and fun; such incredible work all around!
Tysm !!! Thank you for playing and for leaving such kind words !! :D
very, very, very cute game! love the aesthetics and made sure to get both endings >;^) good job team!!!!
ty for playing and for the kind words !!!!!
I really love the sleepy protagonist, she's so cute! The added detail of her falling asleep while idle is very nice
The music is spectacular! It really fits the mood and entire setting of the game. Super dark and mysterious
The art is so good! The palette for each section is really nice, very visually pleasing! I really like that the characters and interactable items have a matching palette that stands out. The lil idle animation of the mushrooms is super cute as well and adds a nice dimension to the game! The forest section is my favorite :-3c
Definitely make sure you play it the "wrong way" to get both endings!
Jada, Sam, and Edge you did a fantastic job! <3
Tysm for playing and ty for the wonderful feedback and lengthy review !!! I was worried that the different palette for the sprites / interactables would stand out TOO much but obviously not ! Ty !!!!!!!!
Super cute game! I enjoyed purposefully grabbing the wrong ingredients just to watch him perish again and again LMAO
