Yeah! I watched streams of Backpack Hero while making the game, and I really wanted to make it so that the positions of the slots mattered, but I couldn’t pull it off. It seemed like there would be too many bugs, and writing abilities that way is much more complicated. 2 games ago I made game where abilities depended on cells, but it was much simpler! I’m also curious, what did you use for the record recipe? Because I balanced it at the very end and never found a super combination! And thank you for the feedback!

I think making positions matter would be a nice addition if you came back to this game post-jam, definitely seems tough to pull off bug-free during just 3 days. I don't remember what recipe I had used last night, but I did just beat my old score with cricket -> pepper -> tomato -> x3 garlic (~40 points), so I'm still in the top 5! I don't think I have a clue on how I'd surpass 100 points, though (like someone else in the jam did).
