This is a curing game where you get to be comforted and relaxed during the Journey. Nice sound effects and controlling. Funny moment when I only got "scam"s meeting "opportunities" lol

Nice and cute game! Even the texts and borders are perfectly fit the atmosphere.

Its really fun to see another bakery-themed-game. It was really fun to play and I did like the music!

That was beautiful!

Therapeutic in a weird way :joy:

Thank you :hugging:

That's a cute and wholesome little game. The tart searched for everything, but I feel a Jam is all it needed.

Just a technical note: It wasn't clear to me that you need to leave the area to cross the word out; at some point it appeared to me like I need to stay at the word for some time instead, and was kinda confused overall. Having the word crossed right after stepping on it would probably make it more intuitive. ^^'

@alphish Thank you for the advice! We were aware of that cross out timing problem during development but just ended up going with this. Next time we'll leave time for more playtesting and try to make everything as intuitive as possible! XD

very cute, it is a nice experience to play this. It doesn't have big replay value but great work!

Omg this was so cute, even the level border was a really nice touch. the sfx were on point, you did everything nicely and well. I didn't get some references, but I'm sure people that actually know a bit of programming have the knowledge.tm lolol.
Sincerely, I want merch of this game and the tart with quotes like that.
