The art for this game looks great! I think the twist of having to keep a bowl of soup is really interesting. I did have problems finding ingredients, it would've been kind of nice to have a arrow pointing towards where I needed to go. Also the gameplay in general did seem a bit basic. Overall really good job!

The artwork of this game is absolutely phenomenal, the UI is really polished too
The gameplay is a cool twist on the count down formula, but it gets rather unmanagable after a while despite the cauldron upgrades. I do like every food item was spread out around the world which makes you on the move constantly. I wish you could interact with that system a bit more though, maybe you could ground the ingredients you collected to juice yourself? (freezing stamina and increasing run speed with eggs and pomegranates respectively comes to mind)
Hard to keep a run going past 100 but very fun game!
Hello! I am just amazed by the attention to detail on the art direction of this game. It really looks professionally made. It all started with the menu options that looked fabulous. XD
I liked the gameplay as well, with a sort of food management that you can keep or throw in the pot. Though I was pretty bad at finding food, and I only went to trees when they weren't spawning. XD
Even if you were there, here's the vod anyway (game at 2:21:00)
Wow I really like this spin on the theme and the artwork is amazing! Totally reminds me of early 2010's games like Steamworld Dig and Awesomenauts! I did feel when playing that I wasn't thinking about what type of ingredient I threw in the pot and just wanted to keep topping it off with any food. Maybe if some patrons would ONLY eat one type of ingredient instead, then I would have to judge the crowd and throw items in accordingly? But overall a quite and FUN game which can be hard to get on a game jam. Nice work!
Amazing concept & graphics, huge props to the artist! Really wished that there was even more stuff. This has so much potential overall. However, I kept getting blocked my the patrons and getting stuck in collision when I was near the broth, and getting trapped by them. It’s also kind of annoying how the items despawn when I drop them. Still, amazing overall!
Really strong concept for a game, I love the world and the art, the stress of all the patrons eating the food really kicked in near the end, I wish there was more to it, more to do, maybe some say in the upgrades and more personal upgrades for the player as well
Great game! The art is so cool, feels like a 20 dollar steam game, insane level. I was sad to see I couldn't see my patrons fed after losing a game, felt like all my sweat was wasted for nothing! But controls great, fun game all!
It's gorgeous game. The music and feels are incredible. It took me some times to clearly understand what to do but after that I clearly enjoyed the game.
The art style is very pretty, and the gameplay has surprising depth considering how simple the concept is, the broth almost running out is actually nervewracking lol, very good game!
(btw do eggs and fruits stack or no?)
So nice looking! One thing is that it's a little hard to see when an ingredient is onscreen since a lot of the colors blend in. I think if there was a shine or outline around them it would be easier to spot. Would be cool if there was like a radar showing you were ingredients were offscreen too since if you are in the wrong spot by chance then it feels a bit unfair. Love the style though, great art. I got a score of 75 or so
