- It took me a minute to realize I needed to click and drag ingredients to the discard option. It looks like a button, so I was wondering why it was grayed out. When dragging, it'd be nice if the image was synced to the mouse position instead of offset to the bottom right.
- I was able to make the mozz sticks that were on the novice list, but then I wasn't sure what to do after? I clicked close, but all the ingredients still just sat on the board.
- I clicked the arrow in the bottom right, thinking it was a way to progress after cooking something, but the game closed.
Thanks for giving it a whirl! Yeah, this prototype is just the cooking board. There's nothing more to it than putting ingredients together and seeing if something was produced.
I'll try changing the Discard button so that it looks more like a garbage bin (and opens when an item is held), rather than look like it needs to be clicked. Maybe I can put some tool-tips on the unused portions of the cutting board. There's probably a lot I can do with that side of the screen to make it look more natural/part of the counter-top rather than just UI. Changing how the image syncs sounds like a good idea.

It was cool, was a bit confused on how to start but i read that its just a prototype so im guessing you want to add this to somehing else.
Discarding was a bit awkward, maybe have a custom cursor or arrow showing that it should be dragged to the bin.
Hud could take some work in general, making it clear that things are clickable (E.g. the food itself).
It was playing around but sadly since there wasnt any point to it i stopped after a couple of dishes. Prototype works tho, so thats cool :) gg
Thanks for giving it a try. Yeah, there isn't much to it at the moment. I'll work on making the UI more intuitive!
