Hi! Your game looks interesting. By any chance, are you looking for a composer and sound designer? I can send you my portfolio and my Discord.

Loved it !
Its really impressive to see how much you were able to do in such a short period of time, congrats !
Game is really fun, tho I took quite some time to understand that you could scroll to see other ingredients when cooking, maybe adding some sort of arrow could make things clearer.
Aww thank you!! We’re so glad you enjoyed (and definitely locked in hard for this game)! Adding arrows to the ingredient scrollbar is definitely up on our list of post jam improvements. In hindsight it is quite confusing! Thanks for your feedback!! :3
The fact that you made this in 3 days is incredible! We were stuck on step 5 for a long time, (adding butter to every dish), but otherwise the experience was practically perfect! The best game I've seen in this jam, and better than the top games I've played in other jams.
Ahh!! You're wayyy too sweet :') But we're super glad you had fun with our game hehe
The step 5 clarity stuff is definitely something we've noticed from folks playtesting and we're looking to improve this after the jam ^_^ !!
I couldn't think of anything more cozy than cooking up a nice stew in the cold weather! It definitely has the right vibes. Throwing together recipes was interesting, but I did start hitting a wall at a certain point. Other than that, it was great fun with an adorable art style. Great job!
Thank you for playing!! We're glad you like the vibes hehe ^_^
We do definitely want to go back and fix some stuff up with the recipe evaluation logic (and perhaps made this harder for ourselves by creating so many types of ingredients 💀) and add a little hints system after the jam !!
Ha Ha! Sounds good!
The art was very cute aesthetically and nice to look at. The cooking mechanic was really fun. I had trouble reading the book on step 3, I couldn't tell if that was purposeful. It was fun. Thank for making it.
Thanks for playing! We're super glad you had fun with the cooking and puzzles ^_^
The step 3 puzzle was deliberately hard to read where (hopefully) you could piece together enough context from the little decipherable bits !! Although in the future it would definitely be a good idea for us to make this one a little more accessible :)
Wonderful game ✨💖🌈
We really liked the concept, story and art. Everything works perfectly and the two mice are very cute.
We managed to make 16 recipes !
Maybe the cooking system could be a little bit improved with hints for hidden recipes and buttons around the ingredients menu instead of a scrollbar. However it is still perfectly playable as it is.
Congratulations !🐭🥣🍄🟫
PS : We are just curious about why it is written "Cabbage ? [...] Like the game jam theme !?" when Squeak tastes cabbage ?
Woa!! It really means alot that you dived so deep into our recipe system ^_^ The two changes you mentioned are definitely things we want to implement in the future alongside improving the recipe matching logic!! Thank you so much for playing <3
Ah for the cabbage dialog, it's adjective is 'cosy',,, like the game jam title hehe :') Looks like it got missed out when we migrated the dialog
Great game! Everything was exceptional from the music, art, gameplay, sound, puzzle. 10/10
Glad you enjoyed!! We had a lottt of fun cooking this game up :')
Loved this, one of the best here.
The gameplay concept really convey a sense of coziness, though the recipe system could have a litte improvement. The art is absolutely adorable and polished.
Awh thank you so much !! We do definitely want to polish up the recipe system with some slightly less generall catch-alls and maybe a hint system :) We're super glad you like the art !!
The graphics are amazing, the atmosphere is even better. Probably the best cooking game in this jam. If you have a minute between cooking sessions, come play my game.
Aw thank you we’re glad you enjoyed! This means a lot to us, there have been a lot of amazing cosy cooking games this jam. I’d be delighted to come check out your game too ^^
Top tier, probably the best game here.
Thank you!! That means a lot to us <3
Awesomesauce game !!
Yay!! Glad We could cook up something fun hehe ^_^
OHMYGOD. I am blown away by the amount of content in this game! The artstyle is lovely(so lovely and tasty looking in fact that you made me hungry now.) The cozy meter is off the charts and the story is so cute and sweet. This is insanely polished for something made in 3 days! 5 stars across ALL CATEGORIES.
AHHH YOU'RE SO SWEET :') !! We're very glad that we could chef up a fun experience 🐀👨🍳 ,,, We were certainly hungry as well drawing up all those dishes (especially since we've snuck in a couple of our favourite foods in hehe), and designing the recipe system has been super fun !
Amazing game ! Looks really polished for such a short timeframe, congratulations, it must've been a lot of work :)
Thank you so much <3 !! We had a lotttt of fun adding the fun little details ^_^ happy that it paid off hehe
Absolutely great game! Love how it forced me to grind my gears, with the puzzles, and all those bonus dishes you can create! Art, music, design and programming all is top-notch! Great work!
Yay thank you Niqon! Glad you enjoyed the puzzles and fun extra dishes. Seeing all of our work come together was definitely a favourite of ours too, it was a lot of fun to make so many cosy components this jam! :3
This is so cute, I love the art and the gameplay itself is really intriguing. I like that the recipe was a little hard to figure out, and that there's so many recipes to find. Its clear that it took a lot of effort to make and I can really feel the coziness aspect of it throughout. I do wish that you can see the cookbook from the cooking area, and that maybe you could add hints on the taste testing menu for creating other recipes. Overall its a great experience and I would play again, I just dont want to poison Nonna :(
Thank you Felycia! Adding the ability to see the cookbook from the cooking area is definitely on our list, and we’d love to add a “completionist collection” page too to show all of our other recipes. You raise some great points! Glad you enjoyed the cosy vibes (and did not poison Nanna haha)!
Stunning submission! Art is fantastic, you nailed the cozy winter vibes. There's not a single thing to say or suggest really except please make more? Seriously this was awesome.
Ahh thank you so much !! We definitely have some plans to polish this out more and add even more recipes into the mix following the game jam ;) Very happy you had fun with our game !!
Thank you drewd!! Also, I love your Spiffo profile pic. A Project Zomboid fan in the wild? :3
Love me some ProjectZomboid! One of my favourite games. You a fan as well I take it?
Indeed I am! Yet another indie game banger to take inspiration from ^^
The art is amazing and the game feels super cozy — 10/10! Great job! If you’d like, you can check out my game as well.
We're glad you like the art and the vibes!! And definitely will do o7
Okay I LOVED this from beggining to end! Georgeus art, nice idea, and well executed!!!
Aww thank you so much !! It was super cool seeing this come to life hehe :')
here i was thinking the game was impossible and the recipe was too hard to make. come to find out, that was the whole point. beautifully captures the spirit of being a little kid wanting to do something nice but then realizing it's too tough. i absolutely adore this game.
Aww I’m glad you enjoyed mazzy! Capturing that feeling of young wonder, exploration and just going in blind was a focus of ours. It’s great to hear that we did so for you! ^^
Great vibes! I’m glad my cooking brought nana back from a coma, even though I once fed her dubious food and she called me a masterchef. Then again, I didn’t realise there was a scrollbar for the longest time as well xD
I liked different mini-puzzles to figure out from the cookbook, something like a cooking escape room. Very nice!
Thank you Ugi! That’s so fair with the scrollbar, we’re going to update the game to add arrows to the ingredients once the jam voting ends. Glad you enjoyed the mini-puzzles too, they were really fun to make!
