@cannibalgirl brb gonna cry bc of your comment
Seriously though, it means so much to read that. I'm so glad you enjoyed the game and the elements that went into it. A lot of credit goes over to to the VAs and composer that joined in to help me on this! But again, thank you so much for the comment, really happy that you had fun.

Really good game, i really liked the dorky artstyle and humor. Great voice acting, together with the fiddly mechanics its a great combination. Sometimes i just wished for some kind of trash can cuz things cept cluttering up my workspace, but i guess thats by design :joy: Good job guys, great teamwork :thumbsup:

@adam-gallina Glad you had fun with it! I *was* going to add a trash can at first, but then a devilish mood came over me and I decided it'd be more fun to have chaotic ingredients strewn about everywhere. I'm definitely considering building off of this idea after the jam!
@she-wrote Thank you so much for your nice comment! I'm really glad you enjoyed the game.
@cievers Glad it wow-ed!
@zluca Really happy to hear you liked it, thanks for your comment! And yeah, the lack of a trash can is unfortunately by design heh heh
@truechips That means a lot to hear, thank you so much! My cheat code was staying up for 30-hours straight for the last stretch. So uh, maybe insanity is more of the right word for it lol
@fizzbark Thank you! It's pretty cool hearing that it was too easy for you, most play sessions I've watched have gone down to the wire or failed on day 2/3. You're an interstellar cooking pro! I added another screenshot, appreciate the suggestion.
@maximbegunov Glad you liked the interactions! Making the micro-gameplay fun was one of my biggest goals this jam. Thanks for your comment!
@tvorojok Thank you for the nice comment, I'm very glad you liked it!
@kosmi That's a very kind comparison. Thank *you* for playing!
@zungryware Your in-depth notes really mean a lot to read over, thank you! I'm super glad you enjoyed the audio and gameplay. I definitely agree when it comes to the shaker, it could use a larger indiactor for sure. Fun to hear about that crispy sludge- sometimes the easiest ingredient can be the hardest! Thanks for playing!
@serpo Super happy to hear you liked the voice acting, that aspect definitely took a village but I really appreciated everyone's contributions. Thank you for your comment & for playing!

@fusionnist I'm really glad you enjoyed- thank you!
@fluburbio Glad you found the game to be *stylish*, thank you for your nice comment!
@zimny11 Wow, that means a lot to hear, thank you so much! The gold medal is earned by having a few minutes to spare at the end, and it is possible on all days!
@snekofspice I'm really glad to hear you liked the voice acting and gameplay! There is a bit of a tracker in the upper-right of the plate screen that should show how many total ingredients are remaining, including duplicates, + the 'x2, x3, etc' thing on the recipe, but if you have any additional suggestions for implementation I'd love to hear them. Thank you for playing & the nice comment!

This is a fantastic game. Really cute take on restaurant sims, with a really funny cooking system. The voice lines are excellent and perfectly complement the aesthetic as a whole. Very full experience made in 3 days, incredible work!

Thank you all so much for your support on the game :D
I get stuck when i put the food on the plate before the guide appears.
