If your game is running slow, playing with Reduced Particles is recommended for higher performance. Additionally, downloading and running on windows will likely improve performance.

Post-jam we also added controller support, but the in-game tutorials will only show keyboard controls, for now.


Follow Aurelia, a young aspiring alchemist, and Whispopher, a glowwyrm with a nose for sniffing out the best potions and materials (or so he says), as they traverse towers and dungeons and more on their quest for acquiring the lost recipes needed to defeat an unknown foe.

this was a very enjoyable game. its got a charming art style, interesting mechanics and actually fun levels. the game really feels like it was put together by people who actually care about what they were putting together.

if i were to nitpick id say there's a few performance issues at the start(i played on the not reccomended particles mode so that might be why) and the difficulty is a bit strange(the beginning levels are toughter than the other levels, though that might just be me getting used to the mechanics) but those are minor and outweigh the actual good the game offers.

keep on making, youve got talent!

Oh the number of times I died to get that potion bottle in that one bonus room 💀 Cute art, fun & challenging mechanics, and great music - absolutely love it! 😄

Really cool. I enjoyed playing this game. As an artist myself I can tell the art and art direction looks amazing; The challenges are good; Smooth and responsive controls... I would definitely pay to play a full game out of this. Nice job!

Wow that was so amazing. It was so much fun and the music, art and Gameplay was such a blast. I personally found the movement sometimes a bit delayed or dragging but other than that amazing work.

WOW! Amazing game with amazing character designs, extremely fun gameplay and awesome music! It took me ca. 40 minutes (with a lot of fails and not picking up the extra items). I probably took longer than average, because I'm not really skilled in these types of games XD. I had a lot of fun though and I loved it <3!

Controls are responsive and gameplay is fluid.  Nice work!
