Cute game with beautiful visuals. Would've really liked if the recipe book showed what ingredients I used to make each dish because I did forget which combos I tried when I was looking for new recipes. Also I wish there was something I could do with all the nice food instead of just trashing it :( overall super cute game, great job!

Great game, nice visuals and sound. I would like more animation of objects and in general will be candy

Hard CorridorVery cute and stylized cooking puzzle game! Tricky red-herrings in the icons had me going crazy!

Burger BashLike other commenters, I enjoyed exploring the combinations but would have also like some info about what I prepared!

Beat Blade 3: The Last SparkReally liked that the locked recipes were opaque so I could at least guess what was in them. I thought the jacket potato was a bread loaf at first. The art is really delicious !

I Beg for Dry (Food)I enjoyed this, it was cool figuring out the different recipes and I really like the art. Nice job!

Five Night TenancyCool game, would be an amazing addition as mini-game for a larger project. I had similar issues to other at the start like figuring out to put a plate down before anything can be made but after that it was fun, having to discover all the recipes. There's a lot of cool stuff you can do with this, like a feature that determines the quality of each dish and so on... Awesome effort!

Eternal VowsDefinitely has a nice, chill vibe. Could maybe use more feedback about when you've done something wrong/right, just because it took me a while to figure out I needed to put a plate down. I also found myself wishing my recipe book had more info (how did I make that thing again? Does it have a name? etc). Great job!

Apocalyptic BurritoSo cozy! It was a bit hard for me, for some reason. I could only get a few recipes, but this is probably me not being patiant haha. The comments here people got a lot! The art looks really cool! I bet you got hungry when making the game haha. The music combines pretty well with the art too! Awesome work!

ZeppelinCool game! I find it amusing to try to find new recipes. I tried while looking at the shadows and found a lot of them so I'm happy. Loved the cake reference from Portal. I wish that I could eat the plate instead of throwing it in the trash! Other than that, cool visuals, cool sound effects, good job!

Save YourselfSolid game. Combine ingredients and see what happens.
Mechanics is clear and easy to understand.
In the early game, I was a bit confused about what I had thrown into the pot, and I think there’s a lack of visual feedback and when pressing the cook button too.
Overall, Good work!.

Nothing Can Go WrongPixel art, soundtrack, and game mechanics are very well designed. I really enjoyed devising recipes rendered as silhouettes. Overall, it's fun—good job!

Happy NuclearThis game was fun, I enjoyed combining ingredients to see what dishes I could figure out! I appreciated that you could kinda see what the undiscovered dishes were to give a hint at what you need to make. The pixel art is fantastic in this game, really great work on that. I would've liked to be able to see what ingredients I used to make something, I made blueberry pancakes and could never figure out how I made them again to make normal pancakes lol. Great job!!

Pandamonium PerfectionArt is beautiful, and its a very relaxing game, fits the prompt so well! I'd love to play a full version of this with more feedback, specifically if it filled out what ingredients you used when you get one correct. I find it hard to store all of that information in my head lol
