What do you like about your game?
I really like the vibe! It has the ~lynchian~ sorta thing I was going for with the theme.

Just an FYI, something appears to have happened to the game - kinda late notice. Tried on firefox and chrome... doesn't appear to be my end, worth a follow up at least.
yeah :( this is due to a timestamp bug. I took the game down to update it with the patched version but itch won't let me put a new version up while the jam is ongoing. I'll upload the patched version as soon as the jam is over :)
A really nice genre mix and the style is really great. The control scheme took a while to get used to and the bullet hell aspect has a bit too harsh of a difficulty curve, but still a really enjoyable game. Great job.
Nice additions to the classic cooking game concept - great stuff!
I felt the shooting was a little too harsh, especially at the beginning - perhaps the firing rate could start slow early in the game, then increase the more you play...
Great characters and style overall - nicely done!
A bit hard to navigate with the cursor moving around, felt it was a bit uncomfortable to use ! I get that it is the point but it was a bit too hard to focus on.
That said the vibe and art was on point, good job !
This game represent the true about working in customer service. That evil spitting potatoes
thank you fellow food service simulator creator
short and sweet gameplay loop, the idea of mixing like a cooking sim and a bullet hell is something i've never seen before, it's super super original and that make it super cool and perfect with the jam's theme, i really liked it, and as a fellow "anatomically correct heart" user in my own game, i liked seeing that here too. well done.
Maybe the player should be able to eject their heart at unruly guests ;)
i love the monster designs so much! i like the memory aspect as well
thanks for playing :)
Interesting mechanics combination
Found it kinda hard when made 1 or 2 mistakes in a row, I had problem with focusing on bullets and ingredients lol
Really liked art and music, nice eerie vibe!
Yeah it's a little on the tricky side right now. Thanks for playing though!
Really well pollished game. Simple and fun cooking game, I would play a more fleshed out version. The art sytle and sound goes together really well!
We'll see if I get around to adding more stuff to it :)
Very eerie vibe, I think you had a creative idea for the game loop and the illustrations really take it up a notch
Thanks so much!
i love it, technically the game that follow the theme the most from what i've played so far xD
Unique little loop and it looks so damn cool.
thanks so much! but yours is cooler ;)
core game mechanic is great one, but it needs more balancing. more interesting difficult curve, less waiting time for new clients when there is no one in restoraunt. there is also a problem for ost. its sounds sick but need more variety. i got crazy after 10 mins playing lol listening to the same notes
Yeah man totally agree haha, thanks for playing!
i love focusing on bad lol. i can do only this when my eyes are touched by games if only its not perrrrfect. doenst matter mine or someone else. just dont think your game is bag of shit cause i pointed mostly only that
I really love the art style and concept! I think the theming is great, would have really loved more simple gameplay when combining the ingredients. I felt not really like im solving this at all, which makes me not want to play -- I think leading the player to solving things to start with as progressions would have been nicer! Amazing themes and really cool work
I totally agree haha, I wanted to make it so the recipes and stuff get introduced over time, with a little introduction, but to be honest I ran out of time :(
Art style is so cool!!! Took me a minute to figure out how to make & then plate the recipes, but it is because I am dumb. Love it :D
