In "Shady Wizardry" you manage a small store at the edge of a magical forest. The forest is full of ancient magic which allows you to quickly and easily brew the highest quality of potion. This however also attracts angry ghost that try their best to make your life hard. Manage stressful situations and impatient customers to gather as many riches as possible before you run out of lives.

WASD to Move

1,2,3 to select weapons (each ghost has his weakness)

T to open all orders

E to interact

ESC or E to close

Mouseclick to use weapons

Q and E to play minigame

------------------------------------------------------------------------

To see the recipes of potions open the book on the right side of the counter to see all ingredients necessary.

To pick up items go to the bottom and interact with any of the crates.

Once you have three items and the correct recipe (exact order of items is irrelevant) go to the cauldrone and interact with it.

Once you finished the minigame you go to the highlighted customer and give him his potion.

To replenish your supplies go to the shop at the top of the screen (a white leaflet) and interact with it.

Keep in mind to fend off the attacking ghost since they will try to slow you down or steal your items.

Redghost -- susceptible to holy water

Greenghost -- burns in salt

- very difficult, after two restarts, I finally managed to brew one potion and sell it...

- the movement is sluggish, like the player is skating on ice, this makes the whole game very difficult to enjoy

- the overall mechanics are easy to understand after reading the tutorial

- having different ghosts with different weaknesses makes combat interesting

- nice background music

Disclaimer: These are just my opinions, so a lot of it is very subjective.

Firstly, thanks for the feedback!

I (in the name of the team) totaly agree to your critic, since its our first game we sometimes just didnt know better and/or had no time left to improve on some things. Anyways I am glad to read, you gave our game a chance and even looked the controles up, in order to test it. I hope you still had some fun!

kind regards
