Hey Looey,

I streamed my playthrough of your game (the video has chapters). Check it out:

You know how to make a jam game! A quick and easy tutorial and then straight into the action. Everything about this is so very polished, an amazing effort. So much to keep you engaged and entertained while still being a pretty simple gameplay loop strikes just the right balance for a jam game. It's easy to see where the game could be expanded further and all the ideas here are solidly executed. The art is fantastic and the little bit of VA work adds a lot of charm. All the best in the jam and good luck in your future projects!

I have created a Discord as a space for game devs to talk about their experiences and share their games. Would love to have you join!

Hi there!

I'm one of the 6 judges for this RPG Maker Game Jam 2025. I was one of the 2 judges assigned to your game, and we have been assigned to rate your games according to each metric highlighted on the game's main jam page, and submit these ratings to the organisers, who will then appropriate what happens with that. Please contact them in the Q&A if you have any further questions about the judging process. The judges will work on different time schedules, so even if I may have finished playing your game, the entire process might not be finished as of yet. Many of these reviews I am posting while still judging.

All that aside, I'd like to share my VOD of me playing your game, which contains up to an hour of gameplay, and some final thoughts at the end! Depending on whether I stopped the VOD early or not, it will also contain many of the thoughts that I say to you below, which may cause repetition. So just be aware of that.

I will also attach a review below this VOD. I will not disclose my ratings for each category as of yet, but those will be revealed in due time. Not all judges are required to post a review or VOD to each game, but many will do so even if it's optional, including myself.

Here's the VOD:

Well? In this game it's done very well. This game is a banger. Absolute banger. Polished all-round, with great graphics, with awesome story, delivery mechanics, upgrade mechanics, harvesting of birds and mushrooms (lol) and getting the orders right in the right order.

Great music, great graphics... it's hard to have anything bad to say about this game except that when expanded, it could be more flexible about orders, e.g. doing different orders for different visitors, instead of having them all the same. But for a jam game, that's a great scope decision to make the dishes all one thing so that you can actually finish this thing.

Here the dynamism that's usually afforded when trying to cook different meals for different people, is in just judging how much of each ingredient you're making so you can balance work, per se.

Wonderful portraits, voice acting, and a good story hook of trying to "prove the person wrong about your small town business" by just making good food. It's a great story hook, a fun little story that's cutely done. I want to see more! I don't have much criticism about this game. It's just a wonder all-round! Great commercial potential. Lovely all-round. Not many notes other than that! Excellent.

Every game's a gift, and keep making these awesome games <3

Definitely going to try and finish this! Loved the visuals, loved the music and the voice acting was great!

The art style alone is a real selling point, but this game is also really fun to play and really polished. It already feels like a full experience! I also just love the idea of a game that feels like you're in Dungeon Meshi. And you excuted it so well too!

This was so polished! Lovely, crisp character busts, cute art style, and an excellent soundtrack. Having the little vocal barks when the characters were talking was a very nice touch too (The Scottish accents notwithstanding!!). This is one I'd definitely love to play more of - great job! My only complaint would be about selecting items at cooking stations - it was a bit of friction that didn't feel like it was part of the intended difficulty - items being in different places on the list, having very similar names and only a few colours to differentiate them lead to a lot of frustrated mis-clicks on a tight schedule!

This was an absolutely wonderful experience! I enjoyed the gameplay, it was simple yet fun. The artstyle is really cute and fit the theme of the game very well. The characters are interesting, funny, and creative. 

I used to play Diner Dash and this gave me similar vibes with some extra spice to it. I can definitely see myself coming back to this to try for a new highscore and I'd love to see more of something like this, or even the inclusion of an endless mode.

Fantastic work! Bravo! 

This was fun and engaging. Particularly when trying to go above quota, there was the real kitchen stress, running between stations and trying to remember the recipes. The presentation is nice and the little sound clips fun. Good job!

Oh, this was SUPER fun! Immaculate vibes. The art and music are so cute and cohesive, and Day 5 was just the perfect amount of frantic rush. The story was fun, too -- simple, but it was a nice throughline to have to push through the 5 days. Excellent job!

Just started playing this and I LOVE the aesthetic, gameplay loop and creativity here! Awesome job!

This game has a strong visual appeal and a well made gameplay loop. Basically a cooking game with foraging elements. The difficulty spike is gradual and not too overwhelming (except the last day since its storywise intentional). 

Personally, this game can go very far. I truly enjoyed this game's aesthetics and characters. Even the mouse Cola who helped a lot with the upgrades.
