This was really hard because it wasn't clear which icon in the recipe corresponded to the crafting station needed to do that thing, especially with the meat blessing issue. The time before recipe corruption is so short that if you make one mistake, you will likely fail. There were a ton of times I was putting what looked like the raw ingredient on the recipe into the cauldron and it wouldn't light up green, even after doing it multiple times. And it only took 2 recipes before a 5 ingredient recipe showed up, which looks like it breaks the game. But I really like the art, music, and overall vibe and really wanted to keep progressing, so its a good gameplay loop.

- quirky little game where the themes fit together well enough, I kept missing my throws, skill issue, but it was fun to play for 5 minutes and stress over new recipes, cute art style too!
