Liked the concept a lot!
It'd be cool if there were a system that allows you to take notes on what you are learning for the different ingredients and their effects. Also add a system that tells you what kind of enemies you'll be facing next time and there you go. A game where you learn different combinations and you have to stretagize the best combinations for upcoming enemies.
But of curse that might not be a realistic scope for a jam. Still good experiment project, have a good one!
