Great work! The game looks amazing, and I really like the atmosphere. It gives off vibes similar to the game Overcooked, but more cozy and casual. I really like how you introduced the mechanics in a very light yet informative way.
Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t really understand how to make the candies correctly. Maybe you can tell me so I can revisit the game. I also felt like the game lacks some suspense. I liked that the ghost spawns every now and then trying to steal your ingredients, but I think the game could use more moments like that. A timer would also add a little bit of oomph and tension to the gameplay.
Another thing I noticed is that you can’t pick up the ingredients after you throw them. If this is intentional, making them disappear might improve the overall game feel and UX. Lastly, I didn’t really see how the theme or the twist was used in the game.
All that being said, you have a very strong base to build upon. I’m looking forward to seeing more of the game. Great work, fellow solo developer!
