Wow, thanks a lot for such a kind feedback and I'm really glad you enjoyed playing it! =D
Oh, you actually got quite far! I won't spoil the recipes just yet because I'm planning to release a post-jam update over the weekend with some hints so that it's easier to bypass blockers and get to the endings.
I haven't played many games like this either but @Melcope has mentioned a somewhat similar classic game called Doodle God. I tried the free version on mobile and it was quite fun, so maybe you would like it too. :)
