This is an amazing experience! Great replayability for the memes too

30 hours. I ain't getting those back.

Look it was fun to begin with, learning the new tricks, exploring new areas, strategizing and optimizing the recipes and potions, yeah I enjoyed it to start. But it really quickly turns into a chore...

Here's the main fallback in my view. There's hundreds of different ingredients, meaning countless possible solutions to make any potion you want for your customers. Many recipes will use 10, 15, even 20 different ingredients to make your potion, after you painstakingly stir and mix and tediously path to your desired potion. It's fine the first time, but then you need to make more of the same potion and you're missing 1 of the needed 15 ingredients, so you can't use your quick-create button. Instead, you spend 10 minutes making the SAME potion, tediously, and then enjoy repeating this for the VAST majority of time you spend in this game.

I held out hope that this problem might be resolved and the game could get more fun and interesting over time. It did not. I enjoy "shop-like" games but this was a struggle.

Fine concept, becomes a chore real quick. I already have a job, I don't want to pay money for another one.

You're probably here cuz you like cats anyways. Look, its a good play, but you MUST use a controller honestly, to give yourself dynamic velocity of movement (instead of full speed or stop)

Anyways, you're in for a relatively fast game to play through to 100% completion. Its a platformer, but a very relaxed one compared to most platformers these days (Super meat boy, I wanna be the guy), and its got a little bit of nice feels to it. I currently have covid and wasn't up for very intense play, and needed a bit of a pick-me-up/feels good thing, and this was purrfect.
