Really great concept, The artstyle is amazing. ( I was going to say about Randomness; but it's already mentioned: RNG kills the fun at times).

Well it definitely wasn't what I was expecting but it was enjoyable, I don't really see where the theme is at but the concept overall was pretty fun though quite confusing at first.  Slightly helped by the tutorial, but not really, for example I originally thought I would be dragging the ingredients over to the recipes and not just waiting for them to show up and hitting craft.  Though that's more influenced by experience in cooking games.

Other than that tho, the art's interesting and the game loop definitely got a little challenging, if relying a little too heavily on randomization for my taste.  There were quite a few times that I was stuck just trying to reroll recipes since I didn't get one or two specific colors I needed.

Oh, and one last thing, probably just me, but I honestly missed the options menu until I went back in, I thought it was just where the "ingredients" were coming from.  Like I said tho, probably just me.

Super fun cute game! Love the artwork and the soundtrack!

This was a bit of fun! I did find it slightly annoying having to wait for the shapes to fall at the start of the game before I could make anything. Sometimes I had to choose between three complex recipes.

This is really cute! Honestly the only problem I had is the way the items drop. Since the items drop one by one instead of together, the tube thing to me at least feels way fuller than it is, which throws me off a ton. But other than that, this is a really cool and surprisingly strategic game you have here!

With a bit of balancing with the color drops this could be expanded into a good, longer format game.

This was pretty great! Having to juggle the amount of stored ingredients and the recipes made for an interesting challenge.

I liked the concept and the art is amazing. Sometimes, I wouldn't be able to make a single recipe, tough, as the colors that I got didn't form any of the starting recipes :(

If you feel like expanding this, you could change it so that you always have at least the chance to cook something. Also, at first I was confused by the stars that signal how good the food is vs the stars used in cooking because they look very similar.

Nice game, very colourful and cute ms paint art for the food items. I feel the randomness takes away from the fun a bit as sometimes you can get very unlucky with the recipes or the ingredients/colours coming in. Seeing some weird/surprising recipes come along like "the void" was funny.

I definitely enjoy the concept of this game. I feel like the mechanics could be polished ever so slightly because it felt super easy to get very complex recipes from the start and lose even after discarding some recipes over and over. Maybe have the more complex recipes have a lower chance of dropping at the start of the game and get gradually more common or something, I don't know. It was discouraging when I could barely even start the game out.

Despite that, I did enjoy playing it, but RNG can seriously mess up a run for sure.
