ohh thank u so much for the detailed feedback! the sheet of paper icon would have definitely been a better idea haha. for the flask, we wanted to have it work differently from the cauldron at first but that fell off due to the constraints of the game jam :p alas...
really glad you enjoyed it though and thank you for leaving such a thoughtful comment !!!
box arena is an exciting and adorable roguelike filled with whimsical items and lovable monsters.
play as the curious little adventurer on their quest to reunite the elements in this foreign world. discover a myriad of items and strange creatures on your way - have you heard of the one who's won ten carrot-eating competitions? - and grow stronger in your journey. hack and slash your way through the rooms, and the elemental blade will be yours!

i've been working on this game on and off for about a year and i'm glad to finally get this out there in the world. i'm super proud of it & my playtesters say that it is oddly addictive to play. if you give it a shot, i really hope you enjoy it <3
ooh ... only at the end i realised how this felt like a note from the jar, like something you're reading to get the gist of it, only at the end you realise it was the process of reading that was good — something something like perceived moments of happiness of trying to reach a goal, only after you reached the goal you realise that it was the journey that was the most important part. what a bittersweet and lovely experience O.O
this is my favorite game of the year. butterfly soup 1 gave me such brilliant memories with my friends and i still hold min's gun that shoots a gun that shoots a knife as one of my favorite gaming moments ever. butterfly soup 2 has so much nuance. like. wow these characters grow and develop and have so much love for each other! they make each other better! they are all so good together! the ending is incredibly touching and lovely and gives me so much joy and hope for the world. gonna be thinking about this for a very long time. maybe somewhere down the road a few weeks later i might binge play both games in a day. it's a game worth replaying!
(spoiler: love the detail at the end where they use 'they' pronoun for min it's lovely. sorry ! spoilers haha. hope i didn't read that wrong it was a super fleeting detail but it's great.) in love with all the characters. thank you brianna lei!
i'm only halfway through the game right now, but i must say it's absolutely adorable! i love the characters so much, i love witch and aleria and all the little characters that come by and the art style and the potion mixing mechanic. super cute 10/10 !!!!!
edit: just got to the second day. i was expecting the game to end on the first day and i got so excited when it said 'day 2' !!!!
aaaskjhauifansjkhbj oh wow !! i'm glad. honestly it would be so cool to do a collaboration with you or something aklsjhfsjkdhg !! sigh you have such good narrative ideas and Emotion in the fiction ✨
