I did not see it as a problem. I thought it was perfect for the game jam theme. I just think that I could have put more effort if there would be some little hints. First I walked around the room searching if there maybe something hidden, but then I understood that it is a luck game. You did epic job with this. Really!

Well I'm glad you were able to enjoy the game despite it's flaws! I definitely think the game could still work with the same mechanics it has now if it just had descriptions for each ingredient, because it wouldn't outright tell the player what to do, but they would at least understand what combination might work. I'm very glad to hear you liked it!
