to those confused users... when starting out, hovering over buttons explains a little bit... but, I'm guessing that you did not realize you have to click the first two buttons(ingredients), and click and hold for the third button, which creates the item...hope this helps
to the developer...great idea, gaemplay, sound and such... the main issue I had was no save... I played your game for a significant amount of time, only to return to a new game next time I came by... that really stinks in this day and age...you really should add some time of save function so a player can return without having to start over...
