The visuals and music are really nice. Gameplay was interesting, but ran into a bug when trying to cook the noodles. Nice job overall!

Submitted (1 edit)

The visuals and music are really polished. I wasn’t able to roll the dough with the arrow keys, at least playing on Mac, but it seems to have a lot of charm just based off the little I played and the screenshots. God bless :-)

I can't play the game, trying on Firefox. I tried pressing every button and clicking everything. After clicking start game, shows the character in a door frame with a play button on bottom right but it won't click it... I won't be able to rate it.

edit: checked the console, it throws 403 error on your main.js

That’s really strange. I haven’t seen that error before. Thanks for flagging it! I’ll dig into that 403 on main.js and give it a try in Firefox (and other browsers). Appreciate your help!

Music, art, and mini games were fun!

Thank you very much, we tried our best 😊

Loved the mechanics and cozy art style. Reminds me of those many small cooking minigames. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! I owe a lot to those childhood classics for the inspiration. I’m thrilled you enjoyed it! 😊

That's a very cool game, well done!

Cutting dough feels like stabbing lol, very nice game!

Developer(+1)

xD thanks! The dough-cutting “stabbing” is totally intentional - glad it landed

Astonished graphics, wow!

The minigames to prepare the dishes are funny.

I had unfortunately some bugs :'
For example the remaining time being NaN:NaN, but I didn't bother since the character is very slow :D
I also had a crash when starting the serving of the dishes ^^'

The non-jam version of the game is probably a bit more polished, which is normal: the amount of work done in less than 13 days here is still very impressive!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the heads-up! I know about the NaN:NaN xD timer glitch and the crash when serving—already squashing those bugs. I’ll speed up the chef too since a few people mentioned it. And yeah, 13 days is crazy short—so many ideas, not enough time. I’m already making improvements! 😊

Cool graphics!

The art style is amazing!
Maybe the player character is a bit too slow? otherwise it reminded me of good old flashgames like papa's series

Developer

Thanks! I’ve heard the speed feedback from many and will tweak it soon. Thinking of those Papa’s flash games hit me with a wave of nostalgia too! 😊

Not bad, love the music :D

Love the design, I was a bit confused at some part but the arrow helped. Reminds me of cooking mama ! great job !

Developer

Thank you so much! I’m glad the arrow hints helped you navigate. I’m already working on making those tricky parts clearer, and it’s awesome that you felt the Cooking Mama vibe - great game!

Very polished graphics and audio, they really give the game a nice vibe. I like the idea, but it's a bit hard to figure out how to play (I get it though, I always find it super hard to find to time to make a good tutorial  for my jam games :P )

Developer (2 edits)

Thanks so much! We wanted to keep the flow fast, but I see now a few brief instructions would help. For the next build (post-jam) we’ll bake in a tiny tutorial and some on-screen tips. Good luck with your jam too!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! The graphics of this is absolutely amazing! The music and the art are all *chefs kiss*. Really enjoyed this. I could sit and play for hours on this. It's one of those games where you can sit and relax without stressing too much! 
Would love if you could go check out my game, Load it up! 

Developer

Thanks a lot! I’m so happy it felt relaxing and enjoyable. I’ll give Load it up! a try—you’ve got me curious now. 😊

Beautiful game, I love the graphics

It would be nice to use WASD.

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much! WASD support has already been added in the new version! 
Unfortunately, I can't update the game during the contest, but it will definitely be included in the post-jam release! 

Submitted(+1)

This game has excellent audio and graphics! Loved the art style.

I tried but could not understand how to collect salt. The up and down arrow keys to roll the dough not working.

Maybe including instructions in the description would help. 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really happy you enjoyed the art and audio! About the salt — you’re absolutely right, we didn’t have enough clear instructions yet. 😅 We’re working on making things more intuitive and will definitely add better guidance and fixes for the dough rolling! Thanks for playing and for your valuable feedback!

Really good looking game. I liked the cutting board mechanics !
Would have liked a little more speed and more recipes too !

Developer (1 edit) (+2)

I'm super happy you liked the cutting board part — it was one of our favorite things to make too! Totally agree about the speed and recipes — we’re already cooking up more for future updates. 🔥 Thanks again for the awesome vibes and support, it means a lot!
