Brewing A Gain

[Best played in FULLSCREEN, and if you're having trouble reading the recipes, use the ENTER key to focus on the Book]

"Welcome to the Dragonscale Apothecary! You're the new owner! Scale up your new alchemy business with more and more complex orders on an expanding potion brewing workspace! "

With this year's theme of 'Built to Scale', we wanted to focus on building and scaling a business. The game starts as a cozy colour-matching puzzle game, but over time expands into a hectic strategy game where the player is juggling more aspects of production. Additionally, the camera pulls back to reveal the scaling work space as more elements are brought to the table.

Due to the nature of this being a GameJam, the game may have bugs! We are also aware of some issues for players who may be colour blind or colour sensitive. We apologies for any difficulties you have playing this game. We did take these issues into consideration, but ran out of time to implement non colour-based distinctions for the vials and potions.
