You are an adventurer known for throwing potions to attack and to heal.
You fight well and everyone praise your skill.
But ..there’s a small problem: You won’t use the rare potion, just like every hero whose name was written in history.

How to Play:
1. Click Defend to skip your turn and save potions. Let your companion do the fighting!
2. Click to choose the potions you want to throw, then choose a target, and finally click Throw to use them.
3. Combining multiple potions may cause unexpected effects, or nothing at all. You'll have to try to find out.

Good thing that you can throw attack potions on your companions and heal the boss. That is very necessary and a noble deed indeed.

nice cool intro! good music as well. but the wording was very confusing, i didn't get that i was the companion in the beginning. and the confirmation dialog was also quite annoying. also throwing a potion to attack hmmmm

well still nice moody gameplay.

I am very surprised that someone had the courage to try this type of game in a 72-hour competition. It feels like the planning involved is enormous. Achieving such a level in such a short time is really impressive. However, since I don't play this kind of game very often, I was a bit confused at the beginning.
