Great game, the instructions were a little difficult to understand, but it was a fun game to play!

Very nice and original idea. It was a bit to fast for me but it was still fun to play

Really cool idea!

Fellow cooking gamer, nice idea! Feels to fast for me to process but concept is good!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much fellow cooking gamer! Yeah I spent too much time on the systems and sort of ignored the gameplay but I'm thinking I might fix the game just to do the concept justice :)

Interesting concept!

Very cool idea, had a lot of fun trying out different orders, good job!

A fellow reverse cooking game fan. At first I was a little confused what to do but I really like the idea that you need to mess up the idea as much as possible. I especially liked seeing the chef rush around the kitchen trying to create the messed up food. Nice job!

Developer

Clearly making a cooking game was the best idea for this game jam ;) Love how different our games are even though theyŕe both based on the same premise!

Fun concept! We're ready for Hells Kitchen now

I'll add Gordon Ramsey in a future DLC ;D

Great work chef. The meal is properly ruined.

I really like the idea - I don't particularly mind that I can't see exactly what the chef is doing, I kind of like him just zipping around being a mime. I found it hard to tell when I had successfully messed him up because of the way that the list elements change position after the task is completed (or something like that, I couldn't tell exactly what was happening). Really fun idea, and I enjoyed it.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm really happy you like the idea and I agree, the game is lacking feedback on what consequence your actions have.

Funny idea, it would be hilarious in a more complete version to actually see the dish and whole kitchen getting  messed up! (with the chef who looks proud of himself haha)

Developer

For sure ;)

funny idea, made me laugh, wish it was more complete.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I wish it was more complete too, got in over my head with creating a solid cooking system that I had no time left for polishing the rest of the game.

Submitted(+1)

cool idea! wish it looked more complete though.

Submitted(+1)

I liked the Idea and presentation, however I did not understadn what my actions actually did

Submitted(+1)

great concept it's fun to watch the chef running around as rush to mess his recipe up only obvious thing to add would probably be seeing the chef actually using equipment and cooking things because even with the basic elements its great!

Developer

Really happy you enjoyed it! <3 Is there a dish you would like to see in the game if it were to be expanded?

Submitted(+1)

the gameplay is a bit scuffed but the idea is definitely there, it'd be cool to see this expanded into something where the tasks can be done in any order, with the player trying to maximize efficiency in their path.

great work !

Developer

Thank you very much! Appreciate the honesty, the gameplay is definitely scuffed. I got lost in trying to make all the systems work together and put way too little effort on the player's interaction with the game (arguably the most important part). If I expand the concept I would definitely like to include more scenarios where you're allowed to mess up the order, right now things have to occur in a logical order where all prerequisites have to be met for the chef to accept an instruction.

I love the icon page -- I'm not entirely sure if I understand what I'm doing but the idea of switching the steps around to mess up the cook is pretty funny.

I liked your idea alot and the art is very cool:)

Developer

Thank you very much! :D
