Golden Flower by BumDag

[raw]
made by BumDag for Ludum Dare 46 (COMPO)

Collect flowers and brew them in the cauldron to make potions. Some potions and good, some are bad, so are not what they seem.

  • WASD Keys to move around or arrows.
  • SPACE to read or talk to NPC
  • Left Mouse Click on cross to drop item
  • LEFT MOUSE CLICK on slot to use potion
  • LEFT MOUSE CLICK on Flower while near cauldron to brew it

I really do apologise it is not as complete as I would have like it. I came to a realisation you really need to have a toolkit ready. Not remake stuff each time. Next time. I really loved doing Pixel art for my first time too :)

I hope you like the core mechanic.

Known Bugs: - [ ] I need to restart the game when I die...grrr - [X] When a projectile hits you, screen shaking doesn't stop.Grrr - [X] When reading sign posts, dialogue box will not close - [X] Camera following bounds is not working

* Poor User Experience * - [ ] You can place an item in unreachable areas - [ ] Cauldron drops potions in the same spot - [ ] No End Game - [ ] No Win Game - [ ] Two areas not finished

@scottthoo I ran out of time learn how to draw the player and animate it, like many things
@willoftw, Yeah really need to have menus premade for these jams. They are always rushed at the end

Feels like a nice start! I really like the look of the graphics that were finished. I... think... I managed to sneak past the slimes and make the golden potion?

I died to some slimes, and I don't know if there was a restart button or not, but i had to reload the page. I like the artwork, and the game is rather fun too. Nice work!
