Abracadabrew

Abracadabrew is a very fun little game ! The point is very simple : you have to find ingredients to brew a series of potions in a very messy room. Quite simple in its core, but, as the amount of potions, ingredients and rules increase, you and your friends must find a strategy to be as efficient as possible. For me, Abracadabrew is much more a game about communication than memory. Finding a way to communicate efficiently with your partner goes a long way into completing the last levels. As you understand, I think it's a game better experienced with friends or SO. The game offers a good sense of progression, and the last levels are quite challenging, especially if you want to unlock all the witches (you need to do a much higher score in that case). The mecanic here is simple, but it works quite nicely, for us at least, to retry most of the levels for getting these cute littles witches. As I type, the game is still in early access, so they were a few technical issues. But overall, the pleasure to play is still there. And I believe that they were fixed in the first update (not tested yet, but it was in the changelog). In a more subjective matter, I also love this game because it's sweet as honey. No death, no shooting, no arch enemy, no dark topics, Only witches struggling to find the red feather and the violet eyeball for their potion. I like to shoot at pixels and to dive into dark universes as the next guy, but sometimes you need just a witchy infusion to rest a little bit.

Excellente surprise =) Enfin un jeu auquel on aime jouer tous les deux avec ma copine! Le gameplay est super accessible et dynamique et les graphismes tout mignons. Je l'ai découvert en fin de soirée arrosé avec un copain, c'est aussi cool que poser en couple. Il y a encore quelques bugs et les sorcières font pas toutes l'unanimités, mais on est encore en early access et pour un jeu à 10 balles, ça fait super bien le taf!

Très bon jeu pour se relaxer ! Le mode de co-opération ajoute un côté fun mais c'est tout a fait possible et amusant d'y jouer tout seul aussi. Le principe du jeu est simple et bien pensé, il faut retrouver les bons ingrédients dans le bon ordre et se souvenir de la position des ingrédients pour aller de plus en plus vite. Cela semble simple mais c'est un jeu assez challengeant qui devient au fil des niveaux assez compliqué si on ne réfléchit pas un peu ! Il y a de nombreux décors très variés et magnifiques, très beaux graphismes qui rendent le jeu encore plus original et unique! Vraiment déjà très aboutit pour un jeu en Early access, bravo à la team !

I had the luck to test this game in the beginning, it was a nice surprise for me to discover this litlle gold nugget developed by an independent studio. A pleasent graphic design with many levels and several skins to dress up your witches, nice coop (communication is the key, trust me) and good puzzle if you want to challenge your memory, rapidity, etc. Progressively, we can see the update/upgrade and the attentive listening of developers on ours feedback. So, i can only recommend this jewel, there is still a witch within each and every one of us (thx J.K). Try-it and good luck to beat my record :p

Simple, cute, and fun! I like the direction the development is going and the added complexity. Looking forward to updates in the future!

I must preface this review with a warning that this game is still in Early Access and subject to change. The game is a fun concept. Reminds me very much of Overcooked, though less frantic as there is more space and fewer different tasks. So it seemed promising. The gameplay loop is simple: bring ingredients to a pot. There are different types and colours of ingredients that must be matched in different combinations and ingredients are spread throughout the room and require you to open cupboards to find the right ingredients. Again, good concept. However, my biggest problem with the game is the controls. One thing that I liked about Overcooked was that the controls were frequently displayed, both in loading screens and in-game as you were playing. In this game on the other hand: I proceeded from the start screen to a character selection screen and from there into the first level, still with no explanation on how to play. Thankfully, the controls are simple and they were displayed at character select (though without any explanation). Additionally, though less annoying, navigation through the menu screens is not intuitive. Controls aside, the game is reasonably well made but a bit lacking in variety other than the combination of ingredients and complexity of recipes. Similar games will often have different level layouts, something I did not see here. And while I like peaceful games, I feel this one is a bit too peaceful (the timer is the only real constraint, with no physical obstacles for instance). In conclusion, this concept has potential and could, through early access, grow into a fun contender in the genre. It all depends on where the devs take it from here. And finally, the coop portion of this review: The Requireds (/5): ☑ 4P (4-Player) ☑ C (Cooperative) ☐ P (PVE) ☐ OW (Open World) [Strictly linear] ☐ C (Campaign) [series of levels] The Optionals ⭐: ☑ Not story heavy ☐ 1st or 3rd person ☐ Length Verdict: --2/5 - Failed-- ⭐

いいか？いいぞ！ 12時間ほど2～3人でプレイ済みです。 ほぼ2人でプレイしましたが、少人数でも問題なく遊べます。 クリアはすぐ出来ますが、クリア条件が３段階評価となっており、ステージによっては高得点を取るのがシビアです。 ゲーム内容的にはOvercookedに近いワイワイガヤガヤ系です。 現在ローカルプレイのみの為、Remote Play Togetherでオンラインに対応出来ます。 ゲームを持っているのはホストのみでOKです。 ホストとしては問題なく動作しますが、回線の理由かRemote Play Togetherが安定せずラグくなることがありました。 上記のため今後の公式オンラインプレイ対応に期待します。 私の感想としましては1220円、一本のゲームで複数人で遊べる上、長時間楽しめているので非常に満足です。 ただ非常に満足な上で残念だった点は、指定された色の納品アイテムを鍋に入れる場面で、“ピンクとレッド”、“エメラルドグリーンとグリーン”の色調が似ているため間違えることが多々有りました。 ピンクとレッドの芋虫に関しましては、見比べてみないと分からないレベルです。 全く違う色への変更か、彩度の調整を行うか公式の修正が入れば良いなとは思います。 ランキングも存在しておりますので、ゲームクリア後はより高みを目指す面白さもあります。 皆様も是非1位を目指してみてはいかがでしょうか(*´ω`*)

This game is ADORABLE. My fiance and I are always looking for fun co-op games. We love Overcooked and Diner Bros. I was thrilled to find a witch themed game like those. The controls are great, and it's very fun and addicting. My only complaint is that the colors are very similar. I get that this is maybe supposed to be a challenge, but the pink and purples are almost the same color which makes it frustrating. GREAT GAME. Get it, this game is so much more fun than the trailer makes it look.
