Very solid submission! I love the music, it feels like im doing something important and exciting. The gameplay loop is also very addictive, I found myself wanting to try again and again to get more recipes and figure out more things. the one thing I found myself struggling on was figuring out exactly how the food would react in the microwave, even with those stats. Maybe having a tutorial level instead of a how to play could be beneficial! I also never understood why lettuce is a thing like why would i choose lettuce its just bad right? Anyway great submission, great music, and awesome gameplay. Nice work!

Lettuce isn't good, but that's where the challenge comes in. Trying to create all the recipes that include lettuce is hard because lettuce has horrible stats. So you need to do things like combine it with low Vol ingredients or upgrade it in the Make organic phase to make it better and easier to combine.
You're right a tutorial playthrough would make things much more clear!
Thanks for playing!
