Gameplay was simple enough to quickly pick up and fast enough to feel the unstable theme\n\nHad a couple of small issues where I would drop what was asked in, but it seemed to think I had put in something else. Salt was a bit tricky to use as well, at least compared to how easy it was to register the action compared to the others.\n\nReally fun though - enjoyed it and can see a lot of effort went into it - nice work! :D","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":725289,"author_name":"winded_blues","author_uid":"winded-blues","epoch":1633430096,"text":"haha teacher is toxic, but the game is funny. i've got some voiceovers playing at the same time, it was confusing","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":729114,"author_name":"EstellaD","author_uid":"estellad","epoch":1633449464,"text":"HIGH FIVE!

I think I've identified the issue with dropping things into the cauldron sometimes, the drop won't get registered properly if you're inside the drop hitbox when you hit drop. It's an unfortunate bug that we should have caught but for the benefit of anyone playing it for the first time it's a good idea to drop things into the cauldron from a bit of height above it.
