Cool idea, but really a lot at once. It's still fine.

Game is pretty clean overall, if you discount the horrors of industrial food production.
You really need to be decisive on what you eat, but I'm still not going to diet! Never!
Thanks for the game.
I like how the music changes as the time goes by! Very original concept! Congrats
Wow, impressive visuals. Looks clean and well made. I also like the idea of a food taster, pretty novel. :D
Congrats to both of you for finishing the game and submitting on time! Impressive for a game jam entry as well. I did find the reference book mechanic a bit annoying, personally, and didn't like how it seemed to fight for the majority of my attention. Perhaps if the keyboard could be used to move through dishes and eat/replace them while the mouse was used to navigate the reference material it would feel a bit better? Overall, great job!
It is so impressive that you put together this game during game jam. I love the theme incorporation, visuals are beautiful, the pressure that is build by music plaing faster and faster, introduction of new rules and twists. The time limit seems to be fair but still pressing.
The only thing that was little annoying was the fact that I had to scroll in the list of dangerous combinations - it would be much more comfortable to see all of them at once. But this is only nitpicking and no big dedal.
The game is simply brilliant and I hope it will score high - it absolutelly deserves it!
Quite impressive game for game jam, however from the very start there is maybe bit too much content to absorb and orientate in. Perhaps start with just few options from the start and then pile up would be a way, but this is barelly a complaint since you can' t balance everything especially during game jam timeframe. Great job!
I Think this Game Could be Top 1 and win this jam! I Believe in you! Check out mine!
Thank you! We checked it yesterday so:
- The platform doesn't keep up with the cursor, making it incredibly awkward to control.
- Weird physics. Can be justified by the fact that it is made on Scratch, but since this is the only mechanic, I would like it to be polished.
- Jam theme isn't used enough. You have green lava but not poison. How even can poison harm the ball, is it alive?
- Because it's an arcade game, there is little content.
- Record is not saved ):
- The graphics are nice, the music is upbeat, sounds good
It is VERY good for a scratch game, but in general i'd say it is 3.6/5
Rob Demo spoke about the game here: https://itch.io/post/12043493
Such a simple concept, but executed so well
It's very impressive you managed to make game with such a cohesive visual in just a week!
The music getting more and more intense is not only a nice touch but also adds to gameplay
Well done all around!
The music accelerated at the end makes the game intense. And I started accepting more recipes less carefully. I really enjoyed the game, The theme was very well explored.
Really hard, but by god, it was worth it.
Best Game In This Jam
Without a doubt
You inspired me to make more games and finally finish playing Papers Please
I dunno why but I reached nirvana while raging at this game.
Very nice game! The concept of food poisoning was a great take on the theme! - I really liked the art style and I enjoyed the added pressure of the music speeding up. Well done on this!
