Erdanon - mage, man of knowledge and alchemist. He is prepared for his last adventure. Will you guide him on his quest?
Remember to click "Ending" after last level. :)
Due to my unexpected illness, I had to publish game 6 hours before deadline, so it's unpolished. I wanted to add more sounds, 5 more levels, and at least one new potion.

Thanks for playing guys. Don't forget to leave some ratings :)
@kuro, thanks for care, I'm almost fine now and I'm glad you liked the story ^^
Fun: It's fun! I wish it was longer! The main schtick of potion throwing is good. Took me embarrassingly long to realise what you gave us potion #1 for... after that the game was much less frustrating :p. My only complaint about the gameplay is that Erdanon gets a bit floaty around the edge of a platform - this caused me to often miss jumps.
Innovation: Sure, making a puzzle out of the throwing potions mechanic is clever, and works well.
Theme: Yes
Graphics: The cutscene art is very nice! I guess I feel that the ground and sky tiles don't live up to the rest of the art.
Audio: A bit bare-bones.
Humor: Good - I enjoyed the cutscenes! P.S. was this guy losing blood for fifty years??
Mood: Alright, would have been helped by some music.

This is a very solid foundation for a puzzle platform game. A good bit of humor mixed in there as well. Perhaps Erdanon should've focused on stopping the bleeding and using conventional means of travel rather than bleeding his way through his quest. What a tragic story. Don't mess with the dark arts!
I would love to see more stages and potions.
Good job, and I hope you're feeling better after being ill!
