Да, для доставки достаточно выйти, потрогав дверь, но я рад, что ты получила удовольствие и в выращивании растений :)
Кстати говоря! Звуки более чем можно выключить! Для этого нужно либо в самом главном меню, либо внутри игры через Esc зайти в Options и отжать "SE Volume"! Это позволит тебе слышать музыку, но не слушать текст!
Большое спасибо тебе за уделенное ей внимание!♡

We've updated the game.
Please give it another try!
Thank you for your feedback, too! ♡

Спасибо, что уделили ей время!!♡♡♡
Thank you for taking time and giving us a feedback, too! ♡
Really well done!
Only complaint is that it does get repetitive and felt like doing chores, but the cozy atmosphere and cute graphics made up for it. It's just so wholesome omg!
Your game looks cute and already seems pretty polished. Playing is just somewhat tedious, a lot of clicking and gathering things that seems just unnecessary. What bugged me the most was that you've build 9 pot to water and implementes a water can with 5 storage units. And it's not even refillable if not completely emptied.
I think with some simple adjustments you can easily elevate the fun.
Keep it up ;-)
Thank you so much for playing it and taking time to comment on it, too! ♡
@roboolet , @crow-seeds , @lumue , thank you so much for your feedback!! ♡♡♡
I'm really glad that you gave this game a chance and took your time to write about your experience playing it! If we'll ever make something similar, I hope your valuable feedback would help us make it even better! Thank you!! ♡

Thank you for your request! We have no way to test the workability of the Linux build, but we'll try our best to provide you with one!
I'll make sure to ping you in the comments once it will be done! So please look forward to it! ♡
Te-he!! Thaaaank you!!! I'm glad you're enjoying these little sketches as much as we enjoy drawing them ♡
That means a lot! ♡♡

+ It was annoying being asked to confirm everything, I think it would feel better if planting/watering/harvesting just happened
+ There was no way of backing out of the brewing menu or knowing what ingredients are required. Also it would be nice to have a reminder of what potion was ordered.
We're working on improving farming process so please stay tuned to it! ♡♡
Also, I have little trouble understanding the very last comment! Could you please provide us with a little more explanation?
We have a recipe book in the game, which helps you with learning recipes! But perhaps you mean something else?
Other than that thank you so much for giving this game chance and taking your time to write a feedback! That means a lot!♡♡♡♡

Agree!!!!!!! Purple witches are the best!! >:D

The game continues on even if you deliver the wrong potion! It's just the outcome which changes!
Thank you so much for explaining! That means a lot! We'll see, what we could do to improve it!
Thank you for giving our game a chance and providing it with lots of valuable feedback! We took your thoughts into account and tried to improve the game as much as possible!
Please read trough these update notes as well check out our new post-jam version, too!
Thank you!♡
1. We improved the gameplay by making it less button-mashy! From now on you do not need to confirm most of the gardening and watering steps!
2. From now on you can refill the water can whenever you feel like! And now it can contains whole 6 points of water, too!
3. We made some of the UI parts of our game much more visual! We hope it will improve your experience!

4. We rewrote some of the endings to make it easier to understand whether you delivered the right potion or not.
5. We also proud to announce that from now on you can play our game via web! For that you just have to visit our site (https://bun-tired.itch.io/potion-delivery-service) and press the button "Run the game" at the very top! (Surprisingly enough this way you can even play it using your phone!)
6. We have also ported our game for Linux due to @snesgaard 's request! I hope you'll be able to play it! Thank you!
7. Our guest @Whitemoonblackbunny created a new piece of music called "What A Lovely Day"! From now on you can listen to it in the main menu.
8. Мы так же перевели игру на русский! Если языковой барьер ранее не позволил вам насладиться игрой, прошу, попробуйте сыграть в нее с вышедшим переводом!
\Please note that during 10th of the May we'll present our game for the wide russian speaking audience due to event. Which is why for some big amount of time you'll see a russian web-version of the game on our site!
We apologize for possible inconvenience!

None of these updates could have been done without you! Thank you for playing our game!
Let's keep doing our best!
```bash
sudo apt install libgconf-2-4
```
But other than that i worked perfectly. Very cute game, like the atmosphere and mood.
