Happy to hear you liked the idea! You are absolutely right about the retrying process being frustrating and the gameplay loop being slow. However I feel that putting the mixing machine right next to the ingredients would speed up the gameplay loop too much to the point where the game would become quickly boring. But I do understand what you mean. I should've made the player walk faster or just shortened the distance between the ingredients and the mixing machine, as well as made the retrying a lot faster. I also agree with you that hints would definitely make this game a lot more fair. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
