Very nice cooking game! Like the twist that your character is feeling hunger as well! And those interactions with Zeus are cool!
Art is nice and do the job! Even dialogues are present which is a nice touch!

Some feedback:
- you can cook meat by placing two salt
- some textures are on top of the player which is not looking nice
- pixel size in pixel art mismatch is noticeble
- you can pick up meat and place it in oven and then pick up pizza dough... and then you can't do anything
- I though at first what you need to pick up food when it's ready... it seems it's not necessary as it appears in your hands immediately after cooking... realization of which helps with playthought but wasn't obvious and I'm not sure if this is intentional or not
- I'm not sure why you need to split the game on two screens... I think it would work in one screen better
- food recipies will help for new players... because at first it's just trial and error which not help in this game. It's not as bad as you get used to it though.
- text reveal on click in dialogues would be nice, not all people like to watch text appear animation
- show where and what you've put already can help for people with short memory as me

That was fun, idea is cool! I've spent fun time with it!
Thank you for this game!

Very cool and funny that Zeus is bulking. The game gets hard fast, day 3 was already brutal for me. I loved that you had hunger too, so you would just make a little snack on the side. It seemed that if the oven was already buffered with one item (let's say dough), and then you obtained another item (lets say lamb), you would effectively softlock yourself as you can't seem to put down obtained ingredients and can't clear the oven.

Regardless the game is creative, fun, and easy to understand!

love the art style. really interesting aspect of the theme , never thought of this.

nice, a cooking game, and also one with a pretty hilarious premise and context.

What I loved:

• loved that you have both yourself and the god's hunger to appease, adds some strategy of - do I feel myself or him first!
• I really loved that when u fail, u get to try your luck to survive by playing a minigame to dodge Zeus' thunderbolts! this is really cool and I think more games should have things like this where you get to fight for survival just before you really lose!

Potential improvements:

Here are some notes I wrote down while I was playing the game, which I think aren't any big issues really, just things that could make the user experience so much better!

• There should be visual indication of what food you've inserted into each facility. especially for the merging table as that's when food recipes get complicated. Putting food on the table doesn't show up, and the table is empty which looks like a bug at first, even though it actually is registered.
• I also think food recipes should be displayed on screen somewhere, eg a book on the floor that the player can move to and a popup appears that says A + B = C, C +D = E. (where the alphabets represent the foods of course). This way it doesn't force people to read and memorize as you progress through the stages.
• Text animation is nice but a little slow. I think it should be 1 click to load the full sentence, and then second click to skip to next dialog, rather than the first click skipping instantly to the next dialog before it has fully loaded the sentence.

Overall, I loved the dialogs and the little bit of story sprinkled throughout, great game!

I was a little confused at first by the lack of UI on the kitchen instruments. But once I understood the principle it became fun ^^ The graphics are great and the twist in case of defeat is very cool :)

Bravo for this entry!

Interesting game concept. It seems polished but sometimes felt a little too unbalanced when tasked with feeding zeus and myself at the same time but that could be just a skillissue on my side. Also a music on background would help but still  and interesting game.

That was a fun game. I like the storm bit and the sound effects when your cooking. I think it would be helpful for the player to get some guidance on how to cook, how to pick up food and how to feed yourself. I like the Idea.

• Game Design: ★★★★☆ The concept of cooking for Zeus is creative and aligns well with the theme. The gameplay loop is solid, though some small adjustments like ingredient management could enhance it further.
• Fun: ★★★★☆ The game is fun, with a humorous take on cooking under pressure for a god. It could use more incentives, like power-ups, to keep players engaged.
• Innovation: ★★★★☆ The idea of cooking for Zeus is a unique and fresh interpretation. Adding more layers, like roguelike mechanics, would take it even further.
• Theme: ★★★★★ The game nails the theme with both literal (Zeus, god of thunder) and metaphorical (calm before the boss fight) interpretations.
• Graphics: ★★★★☆ The pixel art style is charming and cohesive. The characters and food items are visually appealing and fit the tone of the game.
• Audio: ★★★★☆ The sound design complements the game well, though improvements in variety or music could elevate the atmosphere.

A highly enjoyable and creative submission with lots of potential for future enhancements!
