I've played Doodle God, and it's similar, but what I like about your take on it is the objective of actually getting through themed levels by trying to form the necessary words. I'm not good at it, and I was using so much time slamming random things together through hint after hint, but getting the solution does feel good, and your hints are abundant, and I appreciate that. Cool game!

Thanks! Part of our goal was to balance the "unexpected connections" theme with the game's difficulty. Given more time, I think it could work really well. One of the other posters pointed out that creating alternative recipes for each key element would help a lot... we did a bit of that, but I think even more would have gone a long way to make the difficulty closer to the intended feeling.
