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
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.
