You love freshly baked bread but the bakery is closed due to the quarantine. Even worse, you cannot find yeast in the store!
Well, not to worry. This is the perfect time to make a sourdough starter and bake your own bread. So get your hands dirty and make a yeast culture like your ancestors used to make. You couldn't just buy prepared yeast in the middle ages.
How to play:
* Mix flour and water to give yeast an environment in which it can thrive and multiply. * Click on the clock to advance time until the next day. But careful, the yeast will generate air bubbles. We don't want to make a mess! * Shake the container to help remove air bubbles from the mix. * That's it, it a very simple and stupid game :)
This is possibly one of the greatest games I've played this jam. At first I looked and thought "what the heck is this". After picking up the water pitcher and watching it flail about and spill I knew this was perfect. Nice job on this one!
One bug I found was that if you spammed the clock, the game would practically freeze.
I had a great time, even if I didn't make bread. It was very difficult to manipulate the containers which was very funny, due to the feeling that it'd been intentionally designed to be difficult.
It is really simple game. I think goals of this game are ucertain. Also physics works really strange. Balls are getting out from beneath the jar. The art style is cool.
I actually love this so much. While I was patiently pouring the ingredients together without dropping too much stuff, and gently shaking the jar to release air bubbles, I found some zen. It captures why people keep sourdough starters in the first place! Aside from, you know, to make bread. Nice work!
Really simple but surprisingly fun! It's complicated if you don't know what you're doing but it's easy to learn as you play since there aren't many options anyway

I found that as time went on the game started to get a little slow handling all the physics updates for generating air bubbles, but it only took a little bit before that cleared itself up. Other than that this was a really enjoyable game. I do wish there was a little bit of background music or something but beyond that this is good.
High marks for this. I'm not even sure it's working right, and I don't see anything under Yeast Counter, but it doesn't matter. Just the fact that you can pick up and pour these items, see some reaction, and then just throw around the items makes it super fun.
Quite funny and actually gets you into finishing the dough :grin: After failing to get anything into the jar carefully in the beginning I changed to a more free playstyle and it kept working, nice job :smiley: Sound would've really added something as well...
That was surprisingly fun and I wound up playing till I could make a loaf of sourdough. I'd say the physics could be easier to work with, but I think that's part of this game's charm is the challenge of wrangling water, flour, and a yeast jar with a mouse cursor. Great idea and an excellent implementation!
I love this game! It's so cute and fun. Playing around with the physics objects is enjoyable and entertaining. There's not much gameplay, but it's still a very fun take on the theme. I had a bug where my flour bag got stuck in my jar though and spewed my days of hard labor and love all over the counter. Fantastic job on the game!
Haha, I'm not as creative as I thought (I also did a sourdough starter simulator and a friend linked me to yours :) ). Really nice animation of flour & water and having the yeast release gas.
Now, that's an interesting one, with weird physics, too... But, that's just makes it even funnier! Honestly, when I started the game, I thought what the hell is this. But then I started to figure out how to do it (after I had to restart, because my bag got stuck in the jar), and then I just kept going, adding the ingredients carefully, and shaking out the little bubbles. And I got my prize: I can bake bread now! Yay! :smile:
I loved this idea from the moment I saw it. It took me a while, but after 32 days I've managed to bake some wonderful bread. :)
Three issues I had: 1. The physics of grabbing things aren't really working as expected. Even the slightest movement to the left or right makes the object rotate by a lot. In contrast, when the object rotates to the side it takes a really long time for it to fall back down due to gravity. 2. Sometimes, if you drop an object close to another, you can't pick it up alone again - their colliders glitch through each other and become connected, and the only way to separate them is to shake them violently (and lose most of your progress). 3. The "Menu" button visible when you finish the game is active at all times during the game - you can accidentally click on it while trying to pick up the flour. Try moving your mouse cursor to the bottom of the flour bag. The cursor will change and you will be able to click the button to move you back to the menu.
In summary, I really liked this game. I gotta say, there is something oddly satisfying about trying to gently shake the air our of that container. While I felt like I had to work against the physics instead of working with it, I really had fun playing it, more than I usually get out of this type of physics games. I've even managed to get my score down to 14 days after a few more playthroughs. I loved it, well done!
