The Biggest Challenge
I think forcing it to be a 'one-screen' game made it very easy for AI to build, which I was surprised by. It allowed for more time to polish and look for bugs.

Well done. Hats off.

The pixel art is so cute, and once you jump into it, the gameplay turns out to be surprisingly strategic and fun!

I only made it to Lv. 6, but I really enjoyed it! So the main loop is planting seeds, growing them, and shipping them out, right? The alchemy/crafting and cooking felt a bit complex, though. Still, the pixel art illustrations were cute, hilarious, and overall fantastic. Thanks for making this!

one-screen is good idea .

This is seriously fun❣

It's great to be able to try out new recipes, and it feels good to sell them even when there aren't any orders. This is the ideal production game! It's a wonderfully satisfying game to play.

I had to pause for a bit due to time constraints, but I hope my progress was saved properly. Even if it wasn't, I'll just play again.

I'd like to share one small suggestion: I think the controls would be a bit more comfortable if the window closed when you clicked anywhere around the window, rather than having to press the close button.

I really enjoyed my time playing this. 🥰

Clicking otuside the window to close them is a good idea. Thank you for trying it out and I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

Gorgeous pixel art, and the Curry + Pepper theme is baked right into the core loop (grow peppers, ferment, grind, brew, blend, ship). The crafting depth is genuinely impressive for a weekend build. Only friction I hit was the first minute: the Blazor build is heavy to load and the on-screen UI is dense to parse at first, so it took me a bit to find my footing. Once it clicks there's real game here. Nicely done!

I agree that the first time seeing everything is a bit much to read and look at. I couldn't think of a good way to fix it, but something I would like to get better at on future projects. Thank you!

A visual masterpiece for a ai game in a game jam!! Feels fully realized and fleshed out. A lot of on screen text. I'm sure there are nitty gritty details here and there to get into. But overall the package is polished and great.

I love the detailed pixel-art world! I’ve always wanted to make a game like this. Unlocking shipments to the next town felt especially rewarding. I think I’ll need more time to reach Level 20!

I loved this little game, and it would be easy to expand it!
