Loved the art! The granny is sooooo cute and the whole game has a cute cozy vibe. But I really had a tough time understanding what to do to make the food. Tried to follow the recipes listed on the itch page (I played the newest uploaded version), but was only able to figure out the first recipe. The drink for the second one illudes me still haha. Overall lovely job for such a short amount of time!

Hii! I'm glad you liked that side of the game, and so sorry that the lack of info worsened your experience🥹

I did what I should have the first time, updated both pages to clarify this, as it seems to be a recurrent problem. I hope it helps any future players of the jam version.

I'd really appreciate it if you try it again, knowing the drink is (cut) orange juice, and give us the complete feedback :)

Thank you for trying our game and commenting!

The art is very cute, the music adds some chill vibes.

It could really use a tutorial, figuring the kitchen out was very confusing at first, fridge is obvious but it took me forever to find the pantry and the granny moving so slowly didn't help, lol. I still couldn't figure out the second recipe, I made the bread but have no idea what the drink is, feels like I've tried everything but maybe there is something else in the kitchen I've missed.

Developer

Oh sorry, I just noticed by reading this that it was supposed to be in the dialogue, but since it wasn't implemented, it's impossible to know what the drink is made of😭

It was supposed to be an orange juice🥹 You need to cut the orange (from the fridge) and put it in the blender for it to work. Sorry 🙏🏻

I'd love to have a tutorial or something that makes everything clearer. After getting inspo from some other games, maybe a manual like in physical games could be worth considering too. We'll have to give it some thought, definitely.

Thank you!

What was playable was nice, sadly the game itself is not fully done in the jam state, which is a shame as surely there is a place for cooking games that are not all about the chaos (overcooked for ex…)

Grapically the game is lovely, I like the sprites, the big screen art has a cozy hand drawn style to itch, which is a plus!

Musix and sfx were okay, some scenes you stop them for some reason, which I don’t think is necessary.

As said before, a bit more time and it will be a lovely game! Well done!

Developer

Hi, thank you for coming to play our game too!

We aimed a bit too high for our available time, so the last days of the jam were a full-on crunch, especially Godot-wise. The music stops because in a rush to have at least something, I just threw it into the scene from which the levels inherit 😅🤣 The dialogues being different scenes just don't have any music in them 😶‍🌫️

Anyway, I'm glad you liked what you were able to play. Receiving nice comments and feedback is a big motivation to keep improving it :) Let's hope to end up having a nice, not-too-chaotic, 1-player cooking game :)

¡Ai pero que mona la abeulilla, por dios!

This is a lovely little game that only really needed a little more time in the oven (pardon the pun!). Besides the obvious stuff that you already commented was incomplete, my only real complaint is that it was hard to figure out where everything was, and what was interactable & what wasn't (and even then, the how to play was missing and probably would've solved that, at least partially). Everything else - graphics, gameplay, aesthetics - is all beautifully quaint and well polished, good job!

Thank you so much for your kind (and detailed) comment/feedback. We'll have all of this in mind as we keep polishing it!

Developer

Thank you!

The aesthetic is really beautiful, and the black-and-white style gives it a nostalgic vibe. As for the gameplay, I got a little confused at first, but the environment is really nice, and the sprites are great too. Good game! :)

Developer

Thanks!!! Was there anything in specific that made you confused? The feedback is very valuable :)

Honestly, it is super cute but I can't figure out the recipe ; - ; am I missing something? Let me know! I'd love to play this again because I loooove cooking games 

Developer

Hi! I just updated the page with the recipes as they were supposed to go in the game (more or less). If you still have any doubt or trouble, I'll be happy to explain it in more detail and check if there's anything that might not be working as expected (aside from the main error).

Thank you!

se ve bonito, no lo pude jugar mucho porque mi pc es mala y se ve muy lento, pero por lo que vi se ve bonito

¡Hola, muchas gracias!

Si es Windows, ¿quizá la versión descargada pueda funcionar mejor? Un saludo :)
