How does your game match the theme?
Ari is a person who moved in pretty recently in this city and pretty frequently feels out of place, Ari have an alien feel that they don't belong. We tried to talk about space as in going to a new place and the implications of living with other people that you care about.
In a literal sense, the gameplay is based on sokobans, which are focused on putting boxes on slots, as a way to represent the kitchen cleaning, essentially Ari is cleaning a place and organizing a space.

Absolutely Love it ^^
I've got a bad ending ;-;
Great job. I enjoyed the story quite a bit. The art style was very cute and the puzzles were fun.
The characters and story are very charming. Love the message too! I wish my game had a story like this.
Very cute and cozy game, nice pixelart and good soundtrack, the aplication of the secondary theme is way more interesting than "genre in outer space" so thats a plus too :>
Caraca, adorava jogar esses jogos no emulador de gb
very nice art, fun gameplay, cute music, overall enjoyed the game a lot
Feels like a visual novel with robust characters, story, and great art. The Sokoban element is a nice addition. Great work!
Great game and amazing artwork!
cute game! I enjoyed the story
Beautiful game!
Hehe, that was a cute little game. I got really into the sokoban part and just wanted more of those : D Great job!
Very nice game. As others have said, very wholesome. It's a clever spin on the jam theme, both in terms of the story and the sokoban gameplay and baking a cake in the process is a fun addition with different outcomes. The graphics and audio are both great. Good job!
With a few more mini-games, I could see something like this as a mini visual novel... and the amazing art contributes a lot!
My cake had them weak in the knees. Mouth watering and what not. (I know how to use an airfryer). Wholesome game 10/10
I really love the wholesome vibe, and the cut scenes and music are incredible!
My cake was awful, but I loved the puzzles and art!
The art is really cute, and the characters are nice. I did enjoy the ingredient spin on sokoban quite a bit. Hauling that stuff around in a decently "story-rich" game with fantastic art and character designs made me step into Ari's shoes for a bit, achieving immersion in a game jam is a big challenge. Good job!
I found the characters quite endearing, it really made playing quite a joy.
Too bad my cake was burnt, I gotta learn to make a better cake next time.
Goodluck with the jam
