This was really cool, and the level of visual polish here is staggering!  I'll echo some other folks' comments that I was a bit lost for a bit at first and that some sound or music would have made it even cozier than it already is, but no other comments here!  Great job!  :)

Really cute game! It took me about 5 minutes to get the hang of it but I think that's just because its a puzzle game with a few moving parts, once I understood what was going in it became much easier. I would have loved some audio, maybe a bubbling noise when something's cooking, a sound when you clear a row/box/column, a sound when you satisfy an order and when an order comes in, some music, etc but the visuals were gorgeous and the gameplay very clean. One thing I messed up is that when an order came in for two of something my first instinct was to put one into each pot but that doesn't satisfy the order, it took me way too long to figure out I could put more than one of the same thing in each pot. Great job overall, this was a really fun, engaging game!

Thank for such comprehensive feedback.
I had a list of planned SFX and most of these were there except the bubbling - love that idea.
The original plan was to start with just one cauldron and get another ones later. I might do that for the tutorial if I do a postjam version.

From wife:
Stunning game! Love the idea of combining tetris, tic tac toe and crafting, it was well done and interesting.

Damn, I can't get my wife to play my games let alone playtest other jam games 😂

Send my best regards to your wife.

I can't get my wife to play full games, she always fall into demo festivals and similar :D

I can't get her to play almost any videogames. She doesn't mind board games though. You win some, you lose some... 😅

Nice little game! I feel like adding in some sound effects and music would go a long way in making the game more cozy, but overall it was enjoyable to play!

Yep, audio was on my list right after a tutorial sequence 😅

The main mechanic has 2 sides for me... either everything goes to plan and I get what I want or the game just trips me up. It's a bit confusing, but after a few playthroughs you get the hang of it. The art is cool but it's not that cozy in my opinion. Either way, good job and keep making games cause you seem to have some clever ideas!

I definitely had some playtests in which I was getting one terrible tile after another.  IMO the days are short enough that a restart is not too frustrating, but if I had enough time I would consider somehow nudging the tile gen in the players favour.

Wow that's addicting ! I love the smalls caracters in the background and you can really recover from your mistakes, at least on the firsts levels. Really clean work ! GG !

Developer(+1)

I bumped up the order times so that mistakes should be mostly recoverable although it could def use some more tweaking.
