Gotta say, biggest garlic I've ever seen. And one pretty small onion. Very easy to mix up when they're like that. Other than that, the concept is nothing short of satisfying and the execution is great, if a bit hectic, and mildly frustrating when the order is ready but still lose on the delivery.

Also the kobold is cute.

Quite fun, I learnt some of the recipes by heart and felt quite good about cooking them from memory. The art was nice and the game felt challenging and kept me on my toes. I lost! :D 

I really like how crisp the pixel art is! Also found the game quite enjoyable though towards the end the difficulty ramped up quite a bit for me so I wasn't able to complete all 12 rounds in my attempts :( I'll have to try again with a mouse sometime to see if I do better than trackpad. Wish I coulda gotten to the ending myself, but I like the concept of the king just expanding and facing consequence for their greed hehe. Great job with this!

This was a really fun and well-made jam entry! The game is chill and enjoyable at the start, with the pace slowly ramping up until things get frantic later on. The concept of the goblin king constantly demanding food is both funny and engaging, and it ties nicely into the jam’s theme of expansion (especially when you start noticing the king himself growing).

What I enjoyed:

• The music is calming yet fits perfectly, helping balance the panic of later stages.
• The art and animations are great — I especially loved the animation of the food being delivered.
• The recipe book, remembering the correct page, was a thoughtful touch and avoided unnecessary frustration.
• Replayability is solid; it’s the kind of game you can hop back into for a casual run.
• The ending was hilarious and satisfying (boom!).

Areas for improvement (if expanded post-jam):

• The arrows showing the path from the throne room to the kitchen weren’t totally clear at first, though the animated “!” marker helped a lot once noticed.
• The delivery system felt a little clunky, needing to press two buttons while the timer kept running, tripped me up a few times. Making it a one-button action (or pausing the timer after the first press) might smooth that out.
• Later rounds rely heavily on RNG difficulty. Easy dishes can be beaten with time to spare, while more complex ones feel almost impossible as the clock shortens. Balancing that out would improve fairness.
• Additional sound effects/feedback would be great (like bubbling noises, error sounds, or even a funny pot “face” when you get something wrong).

Overall:

This was a well-executed and enjoyable jam game. It looks and sounds great, plays smoothly, and nails the theme. With a few quality-of-life tweaks and more polish, I could definitely see this concept expanding into something people would keep coming back to. Awesome work!

Playing this game puts you in a good mood. Very chill. The visuals are great!

If you're looking for feedback, I think I haven't heard enough sound effects when cooking or grabbing ingredients. But hey... for a limited time this is very good :) 

Well made! Really like the art and simplicity here!

Well done, I wasn't able to complete the game (the king is very hungry... and impatient!) but enjoyed it nonetheless.

I guess he's got an expanding stomach?
