It is really interesting to experience a cooking game like this. I only watched others to play Overcooked and it is all about the simulation of cooking and cooperation. However, this game is much different. What I can describe is that it translates the cooking videos from YouTube into the game form, which teaches you the traditional Chinese dish through the text messages and visual elements in the game.
Personally, I love cooking, and there is always a debate about whether you should put sugar in the dish Scrabbled Eggs and Tomatoes. And my way of cooking it is always to put some sugar in order to increase the flavor. There is a measurement for this: if you can taste the obvious sweetness in the dish, you have actually put too much sugar in the dish and you may want to reduce the amount in the next time. In this game, you have to strictly follow the steps or you will have to restart all over otherwise, but there is a exception where the designer allows you to not put the seasoning in the dish and proceed the game. This is surprising to me since I restarted so many times before and it is a relief when I finally got me dish cooked.
The tiles in the game are composed in a way that represents the shapes of necessary ingredients in the dish, and it allows players to immerse themselves more in the cooking procedure. The heat button was always distracting me since it is in the center of the scene and I can accidentally trigger the conversation every time when I passed through it. When I got the eggs, the color of the room is changed to pink and yellow, which I assumed that the aim is to mimic the heat of the actual cooking. It is also nice that the designer added a question mark in the bottom of the scene for players to check the recipe in case that they forgot it, and I am one of the players who get benefits from it.
The text messages are the most important part in the game. In fact, it teaches you the whole process of how to successfully make the dish and its steps. The text will change based on your steps. If you did not follow the correct steps, the text will show a different conversation and you will have to restart the game. It functionality is to keep track of the changes in variables and show the corresponding game content.
