It's like pong, but you can apply magical effects to the ball with every hit.

Use toxic botanicals like Mandrake and Deadly Nightshade to put unpredictable spins on the ball to throw off your opponent. 

Cycle your ingredient just before the ball hits to parry. This increases the ball's speed and WILL stack.

The first player to reach a score of 10 is the winner.

The music is really cool and little audio bits are super fun! Overall fun arcade type game! The green potion makes me panic lol 

Good Job Ian!

Thanks Shelly!

I'm happy to hear the green potion does that for you >:)

Love this game! Music is great and the different effects are cool. Wish there was different CPU difficulties

Thank you so much! I agree the CPU aspect was a little rushed. I think I will need to clean it up and add some difficulties before pushing it to the Maker Space arcade machine.

Great game! looks and plays well, Audios are super funny too, awesome entry!

Thanks for playing!

This is pretty fun! wish there were CPUs though

Thanks so much for playing! I plan on adding CPUs sometime after the jam, so stay tuned :)

Player VS CPU is in! I hope you enjoy it. The CPU has a little visual bug going on right now, but it should still play perfectly fine. Let me know what you think!

Sorry for the late response, but this game makes so much more sense now that I can play as one person, the CPU is really cool!
