Wow ! This game is so polished and reminded me so much of girly flash games in the 2000's. Amazing job, loved the audio, loved the graphism, i did the full week and had lot of fun. I kept doing cakes I would like to eat though, that was a bit of a bad business decision on my part. Absolutely loved it !

Oh no, I got stuck with the Guava Paste dialogue popping up as I needed to click on the first tip! Really fun idea, there's a lot going on pretty quickly though, it could be handy to have the first few days be a bit shorter, limit the ingredients even shown in the menus and introduce more flavor profiles, customer types, and ingredients over the course of a few more days. It'd also be nice if extra money beyond the quota carried over for ingredients the next day to be able to create some fancier starter cakes, as well as the cakes visually getting slices out of them for an indicator of their remains. Impressive how much is here, great job!

AMAZING!!!! the cake mechanic is soo fun, I loved having reasons to choose the ingredients and create different ones!!! also the art, music and sound really fit the game, I had an amazing experience playing it.

(E MDS não esperava achar um jogo em português, fiquei muito felizzzz, um detalhe muito fofo e carinhoso terem se preocupado com tradução mesmo com tempo limitado da jam)

This is incredible!! I love it!!! At first it reminded me a bit of cookie tycoon and cake mania, like kind of a mix of both, but then it became so stressful with all the needs of the customers, and they want so much!! I want a continuation!!! I really enjoyed it and its so polished too!!! Great game, Great balanced gameplay!! Kudos!!

p.s. I just realized this is all made by one dev?!? The art, the code, the game design????

Thank you so much! We're really glad to hear you played to the end! We're hoping to make a full game from this concept this year, so we're really glad to see interest in it!
And no, we're a team of 5! Doing all this solo would be too crazy lol

Wait but I can see only one name? Do you all go by the name radworks? If not, I think it would be best to add the others as contributors or crediting them if they don't have itch.io accounts. I would love to follow you all on your journey! Good Luck!!

Thank you! Yeah, most of our team of 5 has been laid off recently, so we managed to squeeze a lot of time and effort for this one. We're hoping to make game dev an actual full time job sometime soon, so we're giving it our all!

AidenBlackwaterSubmitted23 days ago

Oh, sorry to hear that. Hopefully it works out for you, seems like the team works well together already!

PiggwardSubmitted27 days ago

Fantastic game! This is so well polished, the UI looks great and the sound effects satisfying, I like how there is even a sound when hovering over a button. So much content as well, how did you have the time to make all of this? Im so impressed!

This was really fun way more in depth than I thought it would be. It's crazy that this got done in 10 days well done I love how you have to cook the creams and jams etc and you can't just instantly buy everything you need very good. and all the diffrent looking cutomers was really good I liked the character designs

Thank you so much! And thanks as well for the feedback, I'd love to help you figure stuff out. I think that right now there's a bit too much information going on lol
