I made 18 friends happy!
Cozy game, very good!
Really cute with a chill atmoshpere. Loved the art and music of the game! I made 22 friends happy, it was nice starting to learn the recipes over the game to get some ingredients in advance, nice job!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :D
What a good game ! I really liked it, from the art to the atmosphere :)
The only thing i can suggest is to make the timer clearer and shorter, while increasing the new comer number limit, so that the player feels more pressed, like in overcooked.
But this is still a great work, i had quite some fun playing it.
Great job !
Thanks for the feedback! We're planning to update the game to include a chill mode and a time limit mode with more pressure, my teammate and I couldn't agree on which one to choose (I was leaning towards your suggestion), so we kind of made a compromise. :D We also would have had a max of three customers be present simultaneously, but a dubious decision at the start of development left us with insufficient room on the screen.
nice and cozy game, the music and the overall atmosphere are so cozy and relaxing, good job!
Thanks! :D
Of all the recipe/cooking/brewing/concocting games for this jam (no pun intended), this one was the clearest on how to make each recipe. Not to put others down, but just that I'm not very good at guessing and finding the right stuff needed. This was fun, relaxing, and very well made. Nice work
Thank you, glad you liked it!
One of the most polished games around, which made me play through the whole thing. The cooking mechanic was smooth, but I have to point out that while you are in the cookbook, actions that take time such as cutting or brewing don't stop, but the time does so it can be cheesed for some more points. Real good job and keep doing games and improving them!
Thanks for the feedback! I know exactly which lines of code are to blame, so I'll fix that post-jam. No cheesing on my watch!
Pretty cozy game. Great art and fun game loop. I was a bit lost but once I figured out that the table was for cutting I got the hang of it. The only thing I'd say is the cooking fire icon should change highlight once you have a viable recipe inside it because as far as I could tell it looked same regardless if what I put in was cook-able or not. Anyways, great work! Keep it up!
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

This was a really fun game! It took me a second to understand what all the stations were and how to open the recipe book but overall really really fun. There were a few small bugs with text remaining on the screen after my mouse left the collider but other than that the game worked really smooth, great job!
Yeah, I decided to make some last-minute changes to the text, which in hindsight was an obviously bad idea. :D Thanks for the feedback!
This's just super nice. The simple idea to just make the number of fulfilled orders makes it both work as a score attacky game or just a chill one.
Some minor nitpicks:
We'll adjust the timings in an update, you're the first person to mention this, and it does make sense. Originally the cooking time was longer, but we cut it down as we found at the beginning the player would just stand around doing nothing because NPCs arrive more slowly at first. Thanks for the feedback!
Fun little cooking game. Was kinda hard to figure out at first but i got the hang of it eventually.
Thanks for the feedback! We're planning to add a mini tutorial when the jam ends.
Overall I think everything this game was pretty well thought out, I managed to quickly learn how to play with no tutorial in about less than a minute. Completing an order without ever looking at the ingredient book had at times occurred while playing. The only thing I think I might've taken a bit longer to find out was the location of the strawberries as I thought the branch was just a part of the background. So maybe a small cool idea would be to have all the interactable objects slowly glow more over time if it hasn't been touched for the first time.
I think Overall this is a really well made game and definitely a chill/cozy one. Amazing Job!
We'll definitely make the branch stand out more one way or another when we update the game. Thanks for the feedback!
Played and rated!
I love games with ingredient mixing as a mechanic. The art was nice and the music was relaxing, made it all very cozy, nice job!
Thanks! :D
The mechanics are sweet, simple, and fun :) Quite a nice and cozy entry overall!
I feel like I learned a lot about jam and pickling, and learning new things is always the best part of a jam to me!

Thanks for the kinds words, Mopi! :)
Art and sound effects nicely come together. Also we love the player character as well as the music!
Thank you! :D
Beautiful game, fits the theme very well! A lil bug: the vegetable names tend to overlaps. That apart, the games works very well!
Yeah, the UI text was a last-minute change, so I didn't get to iron it out, but I'll be fixing it after the jam. Thanks for playing and for the comment!
Cool game man, i really liked it. Its very relaxing :D
Thanks! :)
Cool cooking game, really fun (also I made 24 jams (⌐■_■))
Wow, that's better than me! Thanks for playing. :D
Music and art felt very cozy. It felt a little unresponsive at times, but that is my only criticism. I like how, over time, I would get used to the recipes, and not have to look at the cook book. Very cozy autumn of a game. Good job.
Thank you for the feedback!
the music was veryy god and cozy ! i loved the artwork...very great work!
Thank you!
