Sombritas

Sombritas is a virtual pet game in which you have to take care of tiny shadows while managing an alchemy shop.

Important note

The game worked perfectly in Godot but when we exported and uploaded it to Itch.io the potion section broke, we spent a couple of hours troubleshooting it and we supect it has to do with the use of .csv files but we don't know how to fix it (this is our 1st game jam and 1st time using Godot). We made a video to show the gameplay, we would be very grateful if you'd take a look at it and gave us feedback.

 

Kindergarten Section

Where the Sombritas live.

• You have to be alert because the Sombritas tend to throw themselves off the table.
• House: daylight damages the Sombritas so, when it’s daytime, they take shelter inside it, that is if they don't forget. You better be careful and take them inside.
• Dish: feed the Sombritas a Healing Potion or a Food Potion.
• Cloning Station: obtain another Sombrita by combining one and a Cloning Potion.
• Firefly Station (yellow circular platform): used to get a Sombrita inside a Firefly Potion.

Fireflies Section

Only accessible through the Kindergarten Section. It’s where the Sombritas hatch into fireflies. 30 coins

Alchemy Section

Where all kinds of potions can be created.

• Ingredients: they have 5 uses but be careful because you can spill them.
• Create potions: you can make 7 types of potions: 3 sellable and 4 that interact with the Sombritas. You have to combine the ingredients (in no particular order) by dragging each one close to the empty jar and interacting with it for 2 secs to fill it.
• Trashcan:  used to get rid of a potion.
• Inventory (button on the lower right corner): used to store one potion and transport it to the different sections.

Shop Section

Sell potions and replenish the ingredients.

• Sell potions: a panel above the cash register indicates what potion you have to create. To sell it, simply take it out of the inventory and drag it to the grey platform.
• Cash register: for 5 coins you can refill the ingredients.

Controls

• LMB (hold): pick and drag objects.
• RMB (hold): interact with the object.
• ESC: exit interface.
