Welcome to Witches' Brew!

Follow the potion recipes and create mystical potions! Unfortunately your Witches Cat has decided to take a nap ontop of your chimney and cut off the gas ventilation so the toxic gases accumulate and may kill you if you cannot complete the potion quickly enough...

Engine

The game has been made in C++/OpenGL/OpenAL using my own engine and libs. Due to their messy state I am not releasing the source code at the moment, which means I can only enter the Jam. However, everything except the final release build has been done in the 48 hour compo time and every graphic/sound effect has been created during that time.

Tools

- Visual Studio
- Photoshop
- Audacity

I am fairly happy with how the game turned out. Obviously there are still a ton of improvements that could be made, but I feel the game is in a playable -though short- and polished state.

Controls

Read the recipe and drag&drop the ingredients into the cauldron. Keep the cauldron temperature in the optimal green range by dragging logs onto the fire. The gases accumulate a lot quicker once the temperature gets out of the range so once the thermometer turns red, make sure to put more logs onto the fire quickly.
