Story
Well, you know you should have paid attention in the brewing class. But who cares about classes anyway?
Do you need to brew the Omega-Potion™ ?
No!
Do you want to brew it?
Yes!
Do you remember what´s in it?
Y…well kinda.
All you know is that you will remember it when you start to brew it.
But don’t forget that too many wrong ingredients will make the cauldron explode…again….and last time you were transformed into a cupcake!

We've now added a bit of a description that should help in understanding the game. We would really appreciate it if you could give the game another shot and let us know if anything is still unclear <3
hey i checked out the game one more time and it took me a min or two to fully get it, but when i did i was very impressed. Very creative and toughtful mechanic of when to use which potion which to brew or not to brew etc... I toroughly enjoyed it and the 30min i spent playing it flew by. Its very solid entry, its also practicaly finished game with high polish and no bugs and its not bad to replay it. With some randomness in potion recipes you would have an awesome mobile game for actual release since it would have even more replayability. Music and sound effects are also good.
Too bad you didn't put instructions + thumbnail soon after the deadline though. Since most people don't click on games without thumbnail and most people only play games first day or so. But still, good luck!

It got a lot easier and fun once I fully understood the rules. Nice job.
Had lots of fun playing this, reminds me a lot of Potion Explosion (board game)!
