Really fun, I love the whole setup and idea! Very smart layout of the screen too.

this is really fun to play!

with the three light up things above the aether mote I thought it could only hold three at a time, so I was holding up coins on the table to not waste them. realized that's not how it works after the first level though, but it could be clearer

Oo I totally thought the same thing hahaha

Yeah the aether tracker & coin tray were really not obvious! In retrospect, they should probably just be binary states - do you have some of the resource or not.

It seemed like getting a proper counter in GB Studio was going to be tricky, so I abandoned that idea for the jam. This is why the timer is just an actor that slowly walks across the screen on top of a static background rather than a proper countdown!

Really fantastic! And honestly if you work on it a little longer you probably have a "full game" on your hands here, it's really satisfying to play! Love the art and presentation, love the gameplay loop.

It's so funny, in the first level I was like "Pfff, too easy!" and then as soon as the second level started, I laughed when I suddenly remembered "oh wait, now I have to pay special close attention to which potion they're ordering or I'll forget!" Such a simple and fun way to make it harder.

Really great work.

This is such a fun loop! I also love the animations and sprites

This is very cute, and I enjoy the gameplay loop.

This is WONDERFUL. Really just a lovely game, I had loads of fun with it. Looks and plays really well and a really addictive loop.
