How does your game match the theme?
Ari is a person who moved in pretty recently in this city and pretty frequently feels out of place, Ari have an alien feel that they don't belong. We tried to talk about space as in going to a new place and the implications of living with other people that you care about.
In a literal sense, the gameplay is based on sokobans, which are focused on putting boxes on slots, as a way to represent the kitchen cleaning, essentially Ari is cleaning a place and organizing a space.

My cake was awful, but I loved the puzzles and art!
The art is really cute, and the characters are nice. I did enjoy the ingredient spin on sokoban quite a bit. Hauling that stuff around in a decently "story-rich" game with fantastic art and character designs made me step into Ari's shoes for a bit, achieving immersion in a game jam is a big challenge. Good job!
I found the characters quite endearing, it really made playing quite a joy.
Too bad my cake was burnt, I gotta learn to make a better cake next time.
Goodluck with the jam
