Great art, idea and gameplay. You did a great job. You could probably expand the cooking to various drinks and baked goods.

I commenced this humble enterprise a man of modest aspiration, desiring naught but the preparation of a simple omelet. Yet Providence, in its inscrutable wisdom, had ordained a loftier destiny. There appeared before me a squirrel, diminutive in stature yet imperious in bearing, whose hunger I was solemnly charged to assuage.

With the ardor of the untested, I consigned ingredient after ingredient to the frying pan, and behold, my efforts yielded nothing resembling an omelet. Despair descended upon me like an autumnal fog. I questioned my competence, my station, the very sufficiency of my soul. What manner of cook fails an omelet in the presence of so discerning a patron?

But lo, in the depths of my desolation, I gazed anew upon the pan and perceived that I had not failed at all. I had, through some alchemy of fate and fortuitous error, conjured a risotto. The squirrel regarded me with what I can only describe as grudging esteem.

I emerged from that kitchen transfigured. I had sought an omelet and found myself. I never knew of what I was capable.

A very short, simple, and polished cooking game. I love the idea and overall gameplay. As for recipes, maybe spaghetti?

Congratulations on finishing this game in 3 days! Handling all the design, code, art, writing, and music as a solo dev is no small feat, bravo! Now I'm craving some risotto...

It's cute! I second the comment below and I want to have some interaction with the customer (could be less aggressive than suggested).

When it comes to the recipes, I'll through in Acqua Pazza.

There we go ;) thinking about italia i just can’t get tomatos out of my head. Maybe you could add tomatos to throw at annoying customers to the game? That would be a game for me! :D
