The music in this was such a vibe, first of all. Second, I love sushi, and I didn't know that I loved games about sushi until now, so, thanks for that. And thirdly, I liked the puzzle-y-ness of building the platter combinations quite ab it here. Very good game, nice job

The game I played the longest! It's so satisfying making your own sushi!Good job!
YOOOOOOOOOO THIS GAME IS SOOO FUN! Feels like i am playing balatro but with sushi. Wish there is a hint for each ingredients, but over all a very fun game!
Great vibes. The art, colour choices, and music felt very cohesive. The way you married up two train-related themes (sushi train and train through a wild west type area) is unexpected and clever - you pulled it off really well. I had a couple of small issues:
- At a stop where you can purchase things, I could add items to my "plate" but I couldn't remove them if I changed my mind.
- At a stop where you make and serve recipes, I had already served a couple of things, and then I dragged the dotted outline sashimi thing onto the plate to start another. As that happened, the level ended and results appeared. When I got to the next stop, that sashimi outline object was still on the plate but could not be used. I was still able to drag a rice on top of it, though. I didn't notice if it affected the scoring.
Great entry overall, nice work!
Really fun idea, I saw a similar game recently about making omlettes. Can definitely see how this could be expanded to become a fun roguelike
Fun little game. My main issue was that once I put something on the plate I didn’t know how to take it off. Besides that It was nice. Good visuals!
Even tho it lacks a tutorial, which is understandable cause jam game, I really like the machanics of it to make balatro style game about making sushi, really clever way of making that theme and the artstyle suits it well! Would like to see it pushed further to the limits, would be nice to make some point limit breaking sushi! :3
Balatro inspired gameplay, sushi, amazing art, and amazing sound design. What more could I ask for! I really enjoyed the game! A bone to pick (although a small one) is it feels you are you kinda just thrown in the deep end at the start, but it wasn't toooo hard to figure things out. Overall, a job well done :D
Cool game, it was nice to experiment and figure out combos. I softlocked myself a few times though because I managed to put sashimi as a base and it wouldn't let me serve the dish
That's a bold decision to make a train with the scrolling background just for level selection, haha! COOL
