It was fun to figure out all the different configurations, but I couldn't manage to make the shoe elf work

It is a very unusual and atmospheric game, the visual is quite interesting, it looks stylish and restrained! Good luck with your project, I would have played it more than once!!!

this was difficult to figure out, but fun once i was able to understand what the book was trying to tell me.

Loved the idea and art! Couldn't seem to get the broomstick summon to work; but its possible I was doing it wrong of course. Some of the "recipes" felt straightforward whilst others were a little ambiguous. No audio detracted a lot from the mood unfortunately. Still very unique; loved the system of summoning through combining the various colors and candle sizes and shapes!

I don't understand how to play. I tried different combination from the book, but I guess I was doing them wrong. A tutorial how to summon a simple monster would be helpful. But despite my issue, this is one of the best take on summoning theme. I liked the idea a lot.

Love the idea. Love the art and animations. Unfortunately I couldn't really figure out what the customers were asking for from the icons, so I didn't make it very far. More hints/direction would be good. Also it would be great to have some good audio to accompany the art!

Really loved the concept and art. It was difficult to figure out the combinations, but rewarding when I did. Might be good to scale up the options as it progresses to teach the player what to do.

- Would love to hear audio to help set the mood.
- Trashy is very cute but I didn't use it, the matches seemed easier to use.
- Some kind of indication of how much time was left would help, could be as simple as having the lighting change as 'day' approaches.
- Would like to have a goal to work towards

Really cool concept! I struggled at first to figure out what the customers wanted. I liked the cute designs and interesting combinations of elements. Great entry!

Took me a while to figure out the riddles. But it's quite satisfying once you do. Well done!

I like that the recipes aren't just lists of ingredients but tiny riddles. Trashy is definitely my favorite, such a good boy! :D

Cool idea. Best score was 5. Hardest one for me to conjure was the chores one which i believe i needed for the broom, i could nto get the correct colour. I thought i tried them all. Great concept, this would be a cool mobile game to waste some time.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the summoning circle construction mechanic when I first saw it but as soon as I realised that the recipes were riddles I feel in love with it! Really well done execution on such an adorable idea! Great job!

I like the concept, but discovering recipes is really daunting with the number of available combinations, would be nice if there were more hints/riddles for the recipes that weren't in the book. The art is really well done though, and I really liked Trashy :)
