A very lovely cozy submission! I did feel it was a bit hard and honestly wished the upgrades were permanent (though could understand the balancing being a headache!) Ended up only making it to Day 3.

Nice idea and the art style looked.

Great job! The art style is super cute and the puzzle is simple but clever and has some depth to it especially with the risk/reward element of the recipies. Made it till day 5 :)

Great to hear, thank you! That's actually a pretty high score!

Loved the game!! The concept is super fun and intuitive! ❤️

Developer

Thank you! I enjoyed playing your game as well!

Game plays and feels great! I think the shop would be better if some of the upgrades were more permanent since the randomness of the board can make you lose before you even start.

I like the ilustrations, and it all worked very well. I couldn't get past the second day.

Wow! It’s way too cute and totally addictive! It really is a great game, with a brilliant concept! The only criticism I could make is that it’s perhaps a bit too punishing (but maybe it’s just me who’s rubbish, haha). Well done :)

Thank you so much! That's great to hear! And yea... I realize that it's not exactly well balanced

Looks very pleasing and charming but I just don't enjoy this game. Art style is great there probably is a lot of strategy to this game but it's just not for me

Developer

Thanks for playing and at least trying. That's alright, these kind of games aren't for everyone I suppose

Feels nice, looks nice, plays nice! I love incremental game so this is amazing. My only problem is the scaling difficulty... it was really hard for me to go beyond day 4 considering the random layout+shop offers. But yeah, wonderful experienceeeeee

Thanks for playing and for your comment! Yay! And yes if we had more time I would definitely balance the game a bit more... But also there is a way to actually win the game: there might be a little hint in the screenshots of this game
