Tbh, I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing.

According to the tutorial (which cannot spell ingredients correctly for some reason) I'm supposed to build a deck of both meal and ingredient cards and then do battle against the meal cards of my opponent. It's unclear which cards are my deck and which are the talon. I don't know how to start the battle phase.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but also, the tutorial could have really helped here, by using examples and by letting us play a tutorial level where I get walked through the game.

The gameplay screen should have labels and hints, and cards should not be partially hidden behind each other or in a scroll-down window.

The graphics are ok, I like that you created your own pixel art for the cards, but I would have liked the main menu to feature the same art style instead of a stock photo.

Sound would be appreciated.

This game feels like a lot of effort went into it and someone probably spent a lot of time trying to invent a new card game and balancing it, but in the current iteration it's really hard to learn and that effort goes to waste. 

Thanks for participating. I hope you'll improve the onboarding experience of this game, and I hope that we'll see you again next year with the skills you've learned this weekend.

Yo meta_system, thanks for the thorough review🙌
You're far from dumb, the game's unfinished and you gave it the time of day to explore as well, its much appreciated;
And you're right, we learnt a lot this jam and plan to put those skills to good use next time🦾

I appreciate the food puns!  One of my initial ideas for the jam was "Rice and Dice", so I'm glad you decided to roll with it.

The aesthetics of the game look fun!  I wish I could play the completed version.
