Cauldron Chaos
An enchanted cauldron needs ingredients, but the Witch is nowhere in sight! Play as a magical mite tasked with fulfilling the cauldron's requests, and possess ingredients to bring them to the brew.
Different ingredients behave slightly differently, and you must also beware dangerous flying wild magic that will cut your time short...
How high can you score?
Controls:

GMTK Game Jam
This game was made in 2 days for the GMTK Game Jam 2023. The Jam's theme was 'Roles Reversed'. My initial idea was 'a brewing game, but you play as the ingredients' - this game came from that. You possess ingredients and must move them to the cauldron, swapping and reverting between several different roles in the process.

I hope you enjoy the game! :)
(If you've read this far, why not try to beat my highscore: 4100?)
((Here's a bonus tip: if you revert from ingredient form back to mite form (ENTER), you can quickly jump in mid-air to get some bonus manoeuvrability!))

Super cool concept and very well executed! I can tell special care was taken with mechanics like coyote time. The visual style is also very nice!!
I love how suddenly the enemies get overwhleming, they appear from time to time and then they get a whole army. Gives the game a sudden sense of intensity, great work!
