Reviews for Potion Permit

It's a really cool game, but it lags a lot and it often freezes up then goes to the loading screen, then I think it takes you to the menu page but it only shows the little trophy in the top corner and the rest of the screen is black. (Edit: Removed 1 star because now every time I load into the game, there's just all these little glitched out pieces floating around. Tried loading it over and over again, it doesn't look like the floating pieces are going anywhere.)

This is a really unique take on this genre. Being a synthesis that has to help heal the townfolk and build trust in the community is a nice way to play IMO. Also I love the graphic style. Everything plays well, it doesn't feel like a grind, there's plenty to do in what feels like a tiny little area. After a while though, it starts to feel like I dunno what to do next. So I just complete a new mission, and hope that unlocks what I need next, there's no clear direction sometimes. Still enjoy 💯

Was extremely excited to play this game! I've been eyeing it on the Switch for a couple of months now and when I saw it on here, I downloaded it immediately! Unfortunately I only got a couple of hours in and then it crashed. I was a little annoyed but restarted it, then it crashed again and I just decided to stop. I loved what I did see of the game though! It just isn't optimized for being an app yet.

Would highly recommend. This is an awesome game. The characters and artstyle made me think back to the time i played Stardew Valley for the first time. The story is nice, the game play is very smooth. Sometimes I do wish i could skip certain mini games, but that's personal preference, and it hasn't made it any less enjoyable. The controls are definitely a little finicky, but after some time, i did get the hang of it. I think maybe a tap to move with auto attack would be an option for android.

Very lovely game. I do have some complaints about the initial loading screen taking about 2 minutes or so. As well as if you take a screenshot while in a dialogue cutscene you have to restart the game since it brings up the menu then you can no longer progress dialogue. 😅 Besides that, it's great and is a game that doesn't heat up my phone or consume too much CPU and GPU unlike others. :)

This game is so addicting!! Although I just started. The biggest issue so far is it freezes CONSTANTLY!!! I can't get past the 1st day bcz it freezes so often? I don't think I am able to play it bcz when it freezes I'm kicked out of the game. I have to close and reopen the app. Doing this resets your character, in my case back to the beginning. 😢.. I'm frustrated 🥴 I don't think I can repeat this part much more. Please fix this and I'll repost a 5 out of 5 stars.

Finally got to play the game! Yay! It is a really fun game so far. Here are my qualms. -Loading time: more than 5 minutes, sometimes 10 -Save feature: Only after you sleep -If another application pops up, or you need to use another application, game freezes and you have to start over. I feel lime those three qualms up there need to be fixed for a phone game. I could understand for any other platform, but phone games are meant to be easy to pick up and go and save quickly.

The game is super fun. But it is so sensitive. I have been having crash after crash and bug after bug. And now my save file is corrupted and all I can see its the pond as if I was finishing. I wish I could add a picture here. So if you play the game treat it with care as if you dont it will break and all your progress will be gone Edit: they helped me out the next day. If this happens to you try clearing the cache of the game and restart your phone

So far, the game is amazing!! I love how pretty the graphics are and how smooth they run! The interactions between the player and the NPCs are so good!! I just have one problem. I keep running into an issue when I pull down my notification bar. It freezes the game and kicks me out. Another thing I can't seem to find is a Save button. I really really hate having to start the day over when I get kicked out of the game or have a notification to reply too. Thank you!

I'm really interested in playing this and I really want to play it. The game loads to a black screen. And I'm stuck in that cycle. I got the first little intro quest done, and I guess that's all I can do. Update- Cleared Cache, restarted phone, even tried uninstall and reinstall. Still freezes. I didn't think this game would be this much work, just to not work. Seems like a gem.

This was very fun... until the settings menu opened while I was playing the fishing game, and it breaks. The main controls pop over the fishing controls, then you can't do anything but restart the day. If you wait and pass out, it'll completely break and you can't play that save file anymore.... So I guess I'm done playing.

I thought I'd be safe since my controller works with a few other playdigious games (Sparklite, Deadcells) but not this one. this is just made for iPhone controllers. that combined with the long startup and limited save, I find myself not wanting to attempt. end up needing to repeat days and hate the touchscreen. unfortunate. it looks like a cute game! will be more cautious with demo-less purchases

I tried on several occasions to open this app, both connected to data and connected to Wi-Fi, all with a strong connection. On every attempt to open the app the loading bar made it approximately 99% of the to the end before freezing there for several minutes. I would have thought the app itself froze were it not for the loading icon still moving properly. I'm uncertain why the game refuses to load for me, but I haven't even seen the title screen.

The game seems fun, but it takes over 90 seconds to even load when I run it, and the music is way too quiet even after changing all of the volume settings in the game. Saving the game is also clunky. All of this makes the game too hard to put away and come back to later, since I have to wait so long, can't quit when I need to quit, and have to crank up my media volume then change that back afterwards too. It was a mistake getting this one, unfortunately.

some shakiness on the transition from PC to mobile, but it's the same great game. I'd suggest this edition if you often find yourself away from home with plenty of downtime, as the stardew-esque save system is not kind to the chronically interrupted. finally, you may want to stress test your device with a friend. if you notice that answering texts closes certain games, I'd recommend the PC edition.

This game is really appealing to me, but the saving system is so abysmal that I honestly think I can't play because of it. It saves like stardew, where there is no auto save and the only time you can save it is when you go to bed. This is HORRIBLE on mobile, because of you get a phone call and have to say, check your calendar, the app will probably be closed in the background, which means ALL progress will be lost. Please add auto saving to the game. I can't continue to play without it.

game is great so far but im super early on. but i hate that i have to start over from the start of a day because it doesnt save my progress once i stop playing cuz im busy. i have replayed the same part to a point multiple times and its annoying. also it does take a good minute to load and i always have to wait before trying to play quickly for a few minutes when i catch a break.

Anyone else notice that the axe swing animates backward? It starts at the hit and pulls back to over the character's shoulder... It bothers me far more than it probably should 🤣. I agree with other reviews. The "Save at the End of the Day" mechanic is awful, especially on mobile. Unless there is a specific design reason for it, you are only punishing players by making them lose progress if they cannot play a full day for any reason. It's a single player game on mobile... Allow save states.

The game is very lovely not gonna lie, story, music and mechanics are all good. But I do have some issues with the game like it not having a calendar for events and season changes, characters not going off screen when they leave and scrolling just isn't there which makes it very difficult for finding people and/or items, having the buttons to on top of the NPC you're talking too makes it kinda awkward as well. But overall the game is great and I'm loking forward to see what comes next for it.

This game has quickly become one of my favorites. The gameplay is very simple and heavily task-based. This means there are no "what do I do now" moments like you may have in other genres such as strategy, puzzle, or metroidvania; instead, you get an easy-to-sink-into gameplay loop where every next step smoothly clicks into place. I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a peaceful gaming experience, but if you're looking for a challenge or something to optimize, this isn't it.
