Very cute fun game! I love the art style and the gameplay of flying around the map is super fun and chill, especially with the music. I also love the lose animation, so fun!
Very cute and fun game! I LOVE the artstyle, especially the blue potion cottage on the top left of the map. The flight momentum felt right, just floaty enough to be somewhat challenging but satisfying once you've got it down. The only thing I would change would just be the audio balancing - the pickup/system sounds feel a little too loud compared to the background music. Overall, great job!
Nice game! Got to the end screen. Noticed a bug where if you switched from left to right real quick, you'd stay going left instead of switching direction. Other than that was a solid entry!
cute gamae rlly adorable had fun playing it!!!!!!!!! c: wish it would become harder over time so I could play it more also omg i love the cutscene so much where you fall off your broom its ADORABLE I LOVE IT omg I LOVE THIS GAME
The art style is adorable, I love it. The flying felt great, though there was one moment where I really flew off kilter and it was wonky... but in kind of a good way?! Maybe there's something to that very-rare-janky behavior being intentionally implemented.
I liked it (finished it, too), it's a neat little game for a jam! I was kind of worried at first because the controls weren't written down anywhere, but there's an ingame tutorial that explains them and it was intuitive to figure everything out.
A few details that come to mind: - The scroll speed of the text was rather slow imo, so it would've been nice to allow the player to uncover the text by pressing space before it's finished displaying. - The waving of the text is cute, but it made it slightly harder to read. Not a problem for a game jam, but something that should be considered for larger works. - It felt as though sometimes my directional input didn't cause the movement direction to change. Not because of the inertia but rather as if my input didn't register. Not 100% sure on this one though.
The cover art is SOO good! It really drew me in to play your game! I also like the cute wiggling potion bottles on the itch.io page. The music is so fitting and SO beautiful! It's a really simple idea for a game and it works so well!
Movement feels a bit junky. It seems that if you want to fly in the opposite direction it is easier to stop first and then go in the other direction, rather then pressing buttons for the opposite direction right away (for some reasons you will continue to go in the initial direction). But other than that, nice and simple game. Good job!
Nice little game :) It felt very cute and obviously has a lot of polish going into it. My main issue would be the UI, maybe it's my jam-exhausted brain, but the buy/sell UI was kind of hard for me to understand for me at first. I think it would've helped to use something more telling than red stars / green stars. The sound was great, too!
I really like the poems, wish I could honor them with rhymes!
Very cute visuals and a cute song to accompany! Excellent way to present the tutorial also.
I did a second run just to check the game over, nice pictures on the player defeat event. My only gripe with the game was that there seemed to be some heavy drag when moving to the right. I had to hold left for a long time until the broom started to turn. Made it slightly more challenging but it felt wonky.
@archaeognathus I'M GOING TO CRY THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING EVER QwQ
Hello, the game's artist here (and writer of all of the in-game poems!), this comment absolutely made my day, thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
to all fellow witches in training, there’s a slight update on this game for those who wish for a new broom~
Many witches commented below, About how the movement was janky and slow, Until now! The update has come to their aid, And now every broomstick glides like a blade.
if you wish for smoother movement, download and use v-0.0.6 otherwise, if you prefer the ‘classic’ janky way, download the LD version and let us know!
It was very charming!Love the art(especially the mini cutscenes) and the music!The movement felt a bit slow(played the LD version) but I kind of like it tho it is probably improved in the v-0.0.6 which I will check out now!
It's a really cute game that reminded me of Kiki's Delivery Service. The concept is simple but very engaging. The intro is well-crafted to help us understand the controls and our objective. Thank you for this discovery!
Really cute game and well done! But something I was doing with the movement keys kept freaking out the character controller and launching me in weird directions haha. Still managed to spread love and kindness throughout the town despite it, though! Great job :)
I played your game and I just wanted to say that it's really fun! The flying dynamic can be a bit tricky to master, what with the momentum and all, but it adds a lot to the game and makes it even more enjoyable. Keep up the good work!
This game is so sweet! The flying tripped me up initially but it ended up being really fun wheeling around like that. The art is wonderful and it's just a very sweet and interesting take on the theme.
Really cute game :-) Sometimes I had a little bit of trouble with controlling the broom but I think it was intentional. I love the sound design :-) It took me 1m51s to deliver potions :D
A great JAM game. Well done, short and to the point. I found it difficult to fly the broom, but I imagine it must be really difficult. I'm still holding bottles. :D
I loved the cute and lovely art that game spread with its art style, music and theme. it was really fun to play even if i sometimes floated a little bit to hard trough the map. overall great Game!
Awww I love this! The lil red witch herself is very cute and the game reads like a nursery rhyme. On top of being absolutely adorable, I found the movement very interesting. Sometimes it's a little tricky to just turn around, but I think that's fitting to the character arc in the story, and the design doesn't punish you all that much for delays so there's some good nuance there. Fantastic entry! ❤

Very well made for a quick jam!
gotta love a bit of janky-behaviour in a jam game, right?
A few details that come to mind:
- The scroll speed of the text was rather slow imo, so it would've been nice to allow the player to uncover the text by pressing space before it's finished displaying.
- The waving of the text is cute, but it made it slightly harder to read. Not a problem for a game jam, but something that should be considered for larger works.

I liked the explanations of the controls at the beginning of the game
I also like the cute wiggling potion bottles on the itch.io page.
The music is so fitting and SO beautiful! It's a really simple idea for a game and it works so well!
it was a lot of fun -
but now I am bound -
until this rhyme here is done!
I wrestled my keyboard -
as I got yeeted away. -
In the end though I finished -
and buckled down to stay.
To finish this rhyme -
in honor of your game -
and now I am free -
as I reached my aim!
After seeing the rhyming controls, I felt spellbound to come up with something ;)
I really like the poems, wish I could honor them with rhymes!

Overall very good! Congratulations!
Just add more content (Potions, Cities, etc) and you'll have a nice commercial game on your hands!
Music and sounds fit perfect, well done!
*the pixel shimmering is a bit of a bummer, but no big deal.

A little more complexity would have been nice!
Congratulations!
