CAULDRON OF ELEMENTS is a real NES 8-BIT single-player prototype! Match the falling Elements on your Cauldron to keep the ritual going. But be careful: it is not as easy as it would seem at first! Simply use the Left/Right arrows and survive for as long as you can! The game ended up way simpler than I planned it to be, specially graphically speaking. Had some unexpected events during the GGJ weekend so got less time that planned (less then 24hs). Then I focused on the core mechanic so it would be possible to upload something functional, at least. But I will probably keep working on the game in the future!
