In love with the Lovecraft theme and the unique mechanic! Everyone was literally making cooking mechanic and you came up with something different. This is probably the most unique submission I've played so far. Congrats!

Love the lovecraft thematic, I thought that at the last level the "cthulhu r'lyeh ph'nglui mglw'nafh wgah'nagl fhtagn" would come out xd.
Excellent art!

Sum & ServeType, fast! Before the chuthulu tentacle arrives! Damn, I've never had to type so fast for my life. The art style is god tier, the music was really good too, it was easy to understand, and it even had a story, very, very impressive. I'm used to typing fast, so I could finish it on my first try, but it was still quite fast. Though more than type recipes, it felt like reciting some sort of cult bible lol.

Ice Cream Truck TycoonExcellent graphics, sounds, gameplay and vibes all around. Great choice of texts with both common english and more unusual and difficult words. Awesome revisit of this type of gameplay! Best of luck team.

Cooking in a f-ed up time continuumThe style was SO GOOD. Love this theme as a concept and using a typing game was the perfect match for the stress intended. Really helped sell the limitation use. I really liked that the text was also thematic and not just random typing text. The difficulty also scaled well.

Soup StressGreat typing game !! Feels really oppressive :OO What tool did you use for art ?

How to Make a Yummy Soupthanks a lot!
Yeah, we tried to make it feel very oppressive. Levels 1-2 are super easy, 3-4 are ok, 5 is very hard.
We also introduced a dynamic difficulty system: the madness bar is basically just a timer (mistakes also steal a few seconds), but it will slightly speed up or slow down to make the level harder/easier, depending on the player's speed. The intention is to make levels manageable for all skill levels, while also being perceived hard.
Art was a combination of a bunch of assets with our minor tweaks (to match the color palette and style) and a few AI-generated assets when our skills weren't enough.
