Witch Ball (mapleglaze)
About
This is my entry for Glinny's Cauldron Jam. I made it with my brother over a 4 week period. We used Unity, and all assets have been created by us, except for the font.
We made Glinny's recipe.
The scenario is that you've been cursed by a Demon and you're looking for a potion that will cure you. You have arrived at a Witch's house in a far-off land. The Witch can help you, but she needs you to collect 3 ingredients.
You use an item called a Witch Ball to collect monsters and then throw them into the cauldron. If you've captured a monster in the Witch Ball you can throw the ball to kill enemies. To release the monster, just throw it at a wall.
Throwing 3 ingredients into the cauldron will make a potion. Try different ingredients and see what you get.
Move: WASD or arrow keys
Throw ball: SHIFT
Interact/Dialog: E or SPACE
