This is so cozy and dreamy! The atmosphere is so nice. Couldn't get through the sandwich level, seemed to have trouble progressing on the third sandwich, but will definitely come back to try again! The music is lovely.
Thank you, I haven’t seen anyone else struggle with that yet, maybe you misinterpreted one ingredient. I’ll try to list them with a spoiler tag, let’s see if that works.

I will update the game a bit after voting is done, maybe a day later, so if you want to try again maybe wait until then.
Thank you, will try again soon! We had an issue where some of the ingredients from the first time we made a sandwich stayed on the plate. It didn't affect the first two sandwiches, but maybe that was a factor.
Oh that can happen rarely, when you drop an item on the table instead of interacting with the table, but you are right it shouldn’t affect the outcome. If it doesn’t work again in case you try again please let me know. Also if something gets stuck on the table again you should be able to jump on the table to grab it.
Super cute ! The art is beautiful. I like the minigames and thanks for putting the explanation for each of them in the description, I was starting to get crazy with the sheeps. Great job !
very cute!!
loved the art and theming
the storybook like art style was very fitting, and the 3D models were also really cool and impressive for a game jam
my favorite minigame is definitely the sandwich one
the giant sandwiches surrounding the player really sold the surreal dream like vibes
scooby doo ahh sandwich
I loved the sheep! Very cute game, great work!
Omigosh the music is absolutely stunning! The piano is beautiful and captures the feeling of being in a dream incredibly well. Whilst I understand wanting to evoke the surreal nature of dreams, I did find myself confused on what to do during some minigames (the itch page helped with this). Lovely visuals ☆
Aww, many thanks for saying that about the music 🤍.
I tried to do a piece with dreamy harmony on a piano which sounds just a bit like impressionist music from the 20th century, which felt surreal sometimes.
I do appreciate your comment overall 💖
One of my honey comb pieces got blasted half way across the map xD. Great game tho!
I'm working on improving that game and I probably should at least add walls to that stage :) Thanks for your for enjoying it regardless.
What a sweet game! I love the vibes, and the sheep are very cute :) The giant sandwiches definitely surprised me xD
Maybe a few gameplay tweaks could be made, as you've explained, but other than that I adore this <3
Thank you, the giant sandwiches were definitely my favorite idea.
It's incredible, you turned my dream of making the biggest, most delicious sandwich into a video game! However, I didn't finish the bee level. I just couldn't figure out how to place the pieces on the board. It's still a really good, creative game that looks great, and the music is very cozy. Nice job!
Thank you :) The bee game is currently still a bit janky as you are supposed to just place them in the frame using the physics. I will fix that in the future.
Very cute world.
Thanks for playing the game. I'm so sad you didn't know you can interact with the sheep, that sends them directly to the pen, perhaps we should have made that more clear. Also there are two more dream layers you can play after you beat the first one.
From my stepdaughter: The honeycomb one was really hard & we didn't understand it. I love how the sandwiches make mountains!
From me: The bouncy sheep are adorable and some of the dreamy visual effects are really neat, too. Well done!
Your stepdaughter knows what she is talking about, I totally agree, sadly I was missing like one our to put the improved version in. I will update the game once the voting is done. Thank you for playing!
the dream aesthetic is soooooo good, i want a plushie of the lil sheep 🥹the honeycomb puzzle was really tough though, the physics can be a bit uncooperative at time but still, very cool!
Yeah, I agree, sadly I ran out of time when trying to implement the improved version of the honey game, I will update it after the voting is over. But it seems like you beat it despite the jank, thank you a lot for that!
Wow, the dream aesthetic is so well done with the sounds/visuals, it really feels like I'm in a fever dream. Good job!
Thank you!
My sheep got stuck! Cute, but it's hard to wrangle them in. I just couldn't get those last few to budge once they jumped on top of each other!
I don't know if you knew about it already, but it is a lot easier when you hit interact while looking at them, they give you an audio cue if it worked and it will send them directly home.
When they get stuck they get really nervous so if you give them some space they will calm down after a while and get unstuck. (I not you managed to get a really rare situation that i will fix after the voting is over)
I would love for you to give it another try, to see the second level if you want. And after the voting is done the third level should be improved and a lot more fun as well.
Thank you for your comment!
I really like the theme of this!!! real cozy and i like the art :3
Thanks a lot!
You nailed the feeling of being in a dream with these creative mini games!
Thank you!
The most visually impressive game I've seen so far. The physics felt fine and it didn't take long to get used to the controls although I wish I could invert mouse.
Huge fan of the huge sandwich level and I even made my own superior sandwich that explodes when you try to eat it. I couldn't make it past the honeycomb level just because the placing physics were a little too difficult to wrangle. I wish it had an auto-correction mechanism like with the sandwich placing. That level did help me discover I could prop-fly pretty easily and use it to fly around quickly, so that was fun too!
Thank you for the feedback, sorry about the bee minigame. I know that it is too janky, i tried finishing the improved version until the last minute but sadly could not get it done in time. If you still want to see the ending, there is a way to do it mentioned on the game page :)
