Jack Pot
Hey there!
This game was made for the Pirate Software - Game Jam 15
Premise
Jack Pot is a tile-based, crafting-oriented, tactical battle game about fighting monsters, combining ingredients, and managing the battlefield as the impending threat of Darkness is approaching. Also, you get to play as a cauldron.
Theme
~Shadows and Alchemy~
Twin themes of Shadows and Alchemy are explored by having the player battle the Shadows using Alchemy. The forces of Shadow, characters played by five different enemies, serve as the antagonists in battle, while the protagonist, Jack Pot, will churn up alchemical mixtures in his cauldron-body to combat them. All of this occurs while shadow creeps in from the edges of the arena, corrupting all the land, and consequently resources, that it covers.
Controls
- [Left Click] Used to drag and drop ingredients, and interact with UI elements.

Clean game! I really wish it was easier to tell what category ingredients are in when selecting them. Maybe a colored outline for the final version? Loved the JRPG style.
The game looks and sounds great. One of the more playable games I've seen here! It crashed on the gargoyle level tho. The recipe book functionality worked well and the game had good fps! Good job!! keep making games!
Thank you for the feedback!
