With a Pinch of Liver by simex
With a pinch of liver!
Spend your time fighting off vast hordes of pesky humans as they interfere with your magical potion brewing. Craft potions with disgustingly cool ingredients and chuck them on the enemies down below! Be careful tho, they will stop at nothing to make sure you are burned as a heretical shapeshifter at the stake!

DIRECTIONS:
You select what ingredients you want to use in your brew from the menu on the right, different tier minions drop different types of ingredients.
Click 'Brew' to brew a potion, and a sound cue will play if you are successful.
Select the type of potion you want to throw from the menu on the right, after that just aim by moving the cursor on the game screen and click to throw.
For more info on the recipes, click the '?' next to the brew button (this is also where the options are located).

maybe a button for choose directly the vial and profite more rapidly of the concept
and possibility to increase game speed !
good job
I got to wave 25 before giving up as it doesn't seem to get any more difficult than that. Even the toughest enemy can be defeated with a single level 4 potion (and I had loads of those already).
I think a 2 dimensional battlefield would have worked better in this case. Imagine playing from the first person view at the top of the tower with enemies advancing in waves from all directions.
This way you need to consider each front individually and save the best potions for the toughest foes. Keeping an eye on all enemies while trying to brew more potions would also be much trickier (in a good way, I reckon). The potion throwing mechanic works from the first person perspective as well.
Apart from the lack of challenge its a well made entry, don't get me wrong. Decision making and challenge derived from that just happen to be two main contributors to gameplay, so keep those in mind next time and play test a lot.
