This is great! I love the graphics!

Beautiful artwork. The dishes look particularly nice.

I personally found the game more enjoyable if I first looked at the recipe book and determined what it wanted me to make, then attempted to figure out the ingredients for that dish. Which then makes it a shame that it's fairly difficult to make out what the items are before discovery. Possibly even just having names for the dishes available could give some idea of what you're shooting for while still allowing the nice art reveal on success.

I liked the vibe of the game! Very rewarding if something you thought about actually works.

I'm a sucker for cooking games and I could see myself digging into a full game of this. Great job!!

Very nice music! And cute graphics!

Very cozy game!! Got a bit stuck on the recipes, I couldn't find them all, i think some tips or descriptions would be nice but overall very fun!! cant wait for the future updates!

Such a cute and cozy game!

The art is soooo pretty and the game overall is very fun. For a little bit of feedback having some info on the meals might be good :) Nice job!

It's very fun to click around, the art and sound are very pretty. I had a couple eureka moments (aha, potatoes can go with meat and that first thing!)

But I still have no idea what that first ingredient actually is x) You could consider adding visible names for dishes and ingredients.

glad you were able to solve some. It’s broth!

God I love cooking video games

Hey now I'm hungry! Nice game!

Interesting idea! I think visual feedback for the pot filing up would as you add ingredients would really help. At first it was hard to tell if dragging and dropping things in was actually doing anything or not. Good job.

Developer

Glad you liked it :)

At time of uploading game to jam, we decided to limit feedback of dropping ingredients into pot to SFX.

Will probably change it in post-jam update.

Im glad you mentioned something, I was playing with my volume a little  too low and didnt catch that the first time around

Really cozy artstyle, music, and gameplay! Enjoyed making different wacky dishes, love that we made a similar game in different ways!

Submitted(+1)

Very cozy game, i love the visuals and its very relaxing, but im cursed and cant cook a single good meal, i cant even cook a steak without making toxic gloop ;-;

Submitted(+2)

Im now a professional chef

Developer(+1)

I’d like to consider myself a connoisseur haha

Submitted(+1)

That's a nice cosy game :)

Submitted(+1)

A really cute and relaxing game!!! i think can add some tooltip when player hovers over the food to get name of the ingredients. In the recipe book too, can add tooltip to let player knows the name of the food so at least they have some direction on what ingredients to pick. 
Overall, its really fun and cozy game, hope it becomes a full game !!!

Developer

Glad you liked it :)

We decided to not use tooltips to keep game non-english friendly. Might add some minor tips in future updates, but would prefer to not make game too easy

Submitted(+2)

Love this! Maybe add something the food will go to, like in overcooked you need to give the food to the customers! Overall = nice game, love it, definitely will play in future and will watch if any devlogs and updates will occur

Nice cozy game! would be great the have info though, what ingredients they are, what ingredients you have in the pot, recipe of the ones you have found already etc. The art was great and the music was very cozy, congrats on your game!

Submitted(+2)

Hey I love this, if you continue it I think it would be great to add a little npc that gives you encouragement about the food, or like memories of whoever gave you the recipe book!

Great game bro!
