Let's Play Potions

I don't know what I expected from a game called something like "MrPinku's Potion Mixer" but it sure wasn't this. The whole thing looks like it was drawn in MS Paint by someone who just discovered the circle tool. The sorceress has these massive... assets... that jiggle in a way that defies physics and honestly, anatomy. But here's the thing, I kept clicking. You got three slots for potions and a big cauldron, and you just try different combos. Most of the time she drinks it and gets a funny face or her clothes change color, whatever. But then I stumbled onto a sequence that made her outfit transform into this ridiculously skimpy gothic nun thing and a little exclamation mark popped up. I clicked it and suddenly there's a tentacle pet in the background and she's doing a whole scene. The animation is so janky it loops like a broken GIF but I'll be damned if I didn't try to find every single special recipe after that. The humor is what saves it, honestly. The potion names are stupid puns and the sorceress makes these exaggerated anime expressions when you mess up a mix. One time I gave her something that turned her skin green and she looked so disgusted I actually laughed out loud. The whole thing feels like a Flash game from 2007 that somehow survived the internet purge. There's this medal system they added later which tracks your discoveries but the UI for it is so clunky I accidentally closed the window three times trying to check my progress. The customization aspect is deeper than it looks. Different potion orders give different outfits, and then you gotta match those outfits with the right background and the right pet character to trigger the three exclamation mark events. I spent way too long trying to figure out which combination gives the full scene with the magic mirror background. Still haven't found them all. The gothic aesthetic clashes horribly with the bright pink UI elements and I think that's intentional? Or maybe the dev just really likes hot pink. Either way, it's a mess but it's my kind of mess.
