Summary:

A simple Match-3 game prototype with a few additions. Drop ingredients in the cauldron! Brew potions out of them! Then, use their powers to change the field to make better potions. The game has no definite victory condition at the moment, so just have fun mixing and matching.

An entry for the Pepper & Carrot Game Jam.

Controls:

• Arrow keys to move the cursor on the board
• Space to select a piece or a potion on the shelf
• Alt to change between board and shelf cursors
• Esc to quit the game

How To Play:

1. Move pieces around to make lines of at least three of them. No need to hunt, you can move everything freely as many times as you like.
2. Brew potions using the pieces, more ingredients and higher potency make for more powerful potions.
3. Stack up your shelves and use your potions to manipulate the board or your cauldron to make for more powerful brews.
   1. Fire Potions blow up a large square shaped area.
   2. Ice Potions freeze rows.
   3. Earth Potions destroy columns.
   4. Life Potions pick all pieces of a type off the board and add them (and some more) to the cauldron.
   5. Death Potions destroy all pieces of two types off a board and remove the same amount (and some more) from  your cauldron.
   6. Chaos Potions summon a black hole that will absorb any piece that would otherwise go to the cauldron.

This game uses OpenGL1.1 so it should work with WINE out of the box although I have not tested it. Nevertheless I will try to get my hands on a Unix native version.
