The characters you sell potions to didn't end up being all that memorable to me, and the mechanics for selling potions are a bit flat.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There is a lot to like about this game: it's style is unique and beautiful, the music is catchy, the sound design is satisfying, and the core gameplay loop is engaging... for a little while.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
A simple and fun mechanic: use plants/mushrooms/crystals to navigate a map that has different potion effects and then sell the potions to customers!

I experimented making potions, tending to the garden, exploring the potion map, optimization of ingredients, haggling with every customer at maximum difficulty, carefully choosing my upgrades.
