Fantastic stuff! Novel interpretation of the theme, great naturalistic voice acting, and hearing the symphony come together is extremely rewarding! I agree that some of the colours are a little hard to distinguish, but it's a minor complaint for something made in a mere 48 hours. One of my favourites for sure!

Presentation was good, it looked very nice and the audio lines were a great touch, especially considering it was a game jam. However, the mechanics really confused me and i just couldn't get into it. The theme's a little weak too, but i appreciate the web build!
Pretty great! Nice voice acting and music, cool design. I did have some trouble telling some of the colors apart though; I figured it out eventually (the food glossary was a big help).
I like this as a cute puzzle game! Some of the colours could be more different as they tend to blend together but overall cool concept and game :D
Aw man, this was so great! I love explorations of neurodivergence to begin with. Anyway, I was very happy that there were both sound and visual helps to the process! (Because the glossary was visuals-only I couldn't have done the matching only by the sound.) The art and music were great fun!
I could have a minor quibble about having subtitles for the voice-over or the ability to change voice volume separate from music volume, but they would be just that, small quibbles.
I really, really enjoyed this. It was also very forgiving (i.e. suitable for anyone!) Thanks so much!
"Oh this bread is delicious. I should stop eating"
lol, relatable. Also liked the "oops, five second rule" when I dropped ingredients, haha.
The voice acting was a nice touch and it was a really original concept. Great job!
This game is beautiful and brings together my two favourite things, food and music.
The voiceover is impressive and the music super catchy!
I just had a hard time differentiating some colors (the red and brown in the second level) so I got stuck. But thanks to the unlock all button I try the other levels and hear the super cool music :D
The game is a bit rough on the edges, but this was a great idea! Very good work!
Felt a little too trial and error for the more complex recipes, trying to discern the colours - and then I saw the foodshape button ^^; (that helped a lot on the last one)
Love the concept, especially hearing all the musical layers blend as you completed the dish (or clash, when you got it wrong, which was almost a bigger indication than the red number).
Great work!
Very unique and charming, fun to play and listen to the music. (love the five second rule line when I dropped the food :D)
Really impressive that you pulled that off in such a short time!
Well done!
Really nice how the music is building up! Nice idea for the game and well implemented, had a fun time playing it!
Nice, original concept! Took a while to figure out what exactly you're supposed to do and why. Once I did, though, it was pretty fun, and I like how the music built up one instrument at a time as I was cooking. Some of the colors were too close to each other though, and the triangles way too small, so I had to cook an item, then hold it at the recipe book to see if the colors matched with the recipe. The voice acting and end song were nice cherries on top.
