I expected this to be a frantic management game about balancing inventory and mixing colours, but 99% of the time it was instead just \"1 customer is at the window, grab the 1 colour you need then you're done\".\n\nI think to better take advantage of the core mechanics maybe the secondary colour ingredients shouldn't exist or should be rarer so it relies more on mixing. Secondly and thirdly, there should be more customers at a time and the cauldron shouldn't automatically clear. I think if done right this would give the player more agency regarding the order in which they approach things and would raise the skill ceiling dramatically. As is, I never felt the need to stockpile of plan my ingredients because I'd just get what I needed when I needed it. \n\nOverall though, for showcasing a cool idea it does it's job well!

It feels like the gameplay is sort of pulling in two different directions -- the collecting phase challenges you to discretely recognize colors, but the mixing phase can sometimes involve fine-tuning colors to get their hue and saturation just right.  There's a lot going on which is quite impressive for a jam game but I almost wonder if it would be more fun to focus on just one of the two aspects -- either making the colors very distinct and distinguishable and being more of a \"quick gathering ingredients\" game, or maybe doing away with the gathering ingredients minigame and focusing on mixing colors accurately (which seems more interesting to me).\n\nI think I enjoyed the challenge of mixing the less obvious color tones the most, but at the same time felt pressured to just quickly cobble together something because I knew the clock was ticking.  Maybe without the time aspect it would allow for more enjoyment of planning out what to add to the cauldron?  Although that would nix the \"unstable\" part of the theme...\n\nEh, I'm just vomiting thoughts aloud, anyways the visuals are super fun to look at, especially all the animations (subpixel movement, wow!), and everything comes together pretty well!

Maybe add other parameters to consider besides the color, or make colors obey some laws that aren't that regular and need to be discovered, add some complexity into the magical side of things. Hunting for ingredients could still be a part of the process, but maybe a bit less prevalent and a bit less random, as in, hunting for specific ingredients could require separate mini-skills or knowledge about where to look...\n\nHaving typed that out, I'm realising I'm probably just describing a completely different game by now.
