The Potmonger

This is a submission for the GMTK Game Jam 2026, with the theme Countdown. It was made in 4 days with the Godot Engine.

The Game

Paris, 13th of March 1871. 4 months after being defeated by Prussia, France is at its lowest : the war is lost, the government is hiding in Versailles and the people feel like their leader does not represent Paris anymore. The uprising is unavoidable, but what can you do, you are just a shopkeeper... or so they believe.

The game contains 4 levels, including a tutorial.

The Controls

• Point & Left Click on Visual Elements to manipulate them
• Drag & Drop Ingredients from Shelves to Alambics
• Collect potions by dragging (hold left click) a bottle to an alambic containing a successful potion
• Add time to timers by left-clicking buttons on either side of it
• Go through the grimoire's pages by left-clicking on its bookmarks
• Skip dialogs by left-clicking or pressing space-bar

Technically playable on mobile, but the timers buttons are not handy. You can still edit a timer's value by selecting the digits and entering new ones with a keyboard.
