How does your game fit the theme?
Well, in the original game you are the one giving the recipes and the game gives you the item. In this game, the game gives you the recipes and you need to give them the items.

Super cool idea and nice audio, it’s almost a typing speed test though with how quick the timer is lol
This is an interesting idea, but I feel like it needed a lot more refinement. There seems to be some technical issues, at least with the web version, with things like text seemingly falling off the edges. This game is also very inaccessible in a few different senses. For one, the game assumes that players are familiar with Minecraft crafting recipes, which is not something that should be taken as a given. Also, it expects people to understand recipes as a collection of ingredients (eg. two sticks and three cobblestone). I don't know about you, but I always recall Minecraft crafting recipes visually, as the objects being in a physical order to each other, which makes recalling recipes this way rather unintuitive. Considering the background is already a crafting table grid, I have to wonder why you didn't just go the visual route for this. The game requiring the player to type out the answer is also a bit of an accessibility issue, though I can understand if it's part of the core concept (i.e. it's intended to be a typing exercise kind of game). Lastly, the tutorial is an accessibility mess because the text progresses at a fixed speed. This is usually a bad idea, as there's no one speed that won't cause some players to miss text from reading it too slow, while also not boring other players who read it faster. Making it so the text progresses from a button press / mouse click is usually better for this.
This idea is super unique and the gameplay is pretty fun. Also good background music overall great job. :D
I like the idea behind it, although if you have never played Minecraft the game would be impossible. It would be nice if you didn't have to click on the request in order to fulfil it.
Intresting game tho Its kindda hard couse you have to spell the item and when its the diamond sword recipie I kindda misspeled diamnod XD..Woud've been funnier if you put some items that you have to chose from + I dont know how to spell a brue stand anyway wanna rate my game?
nice idea! It does work but the tutorial is a little too long, I agree with someone in the comments down below that i would make it a bit more graphical so it would have been easier to understand what i'm crafting, since you gotta have previous knowledge of another game :)
Creative idea, but I really wish you didn't need to click on which question you were trying to answer. It would feel much better if all I needed to do was type the answers as fast as I could. Also, some variations of names would be nice. For example: gold sword and golden sword.
Pretty cool concept, the rate at which the orders come in is well balanced. If you want to reduce the quiz-like feeling, instead of having text in an order, you could have a picture of the crafting table with the pieces on it. Also, needing to select which one I'm responding to interrupted the game flow, so having my response be checked against every answer would make it flow way faster, since I need both hands to type, so I can't use the mouse at the same time. Keep at it!
Clever use of the Jam's theme, but I can't seem to make it past 15 seconds lmao
Guess I need to play more Minecraft.
Good idea, the tutorial it's great even if maybe it could have been a little bit faster. Really unique in it's genre
Great idea and well designed but the game made me feel so dumb. haha. Ideally it would be more graphical so it would feel less quizzy. Not sure how though. 12 levels! wow. My work cut out.
A very unique and creative idea, and gets hard very quickly as orders begin to pile up. Good job!
I like the idea, I was very bad at it lol
Game is quite fun and unique. Good job :)
really interesting concept, more of a quiz than a game like you said in the tutorial but I enjoyed it.
Good choice of music and really great tutorial. I think it was a bit too hard to click the recipe and then type it out before the time ran out tho
thiks game has a lot of potential! imagine it with the crafting table recipes images! it would be amazing.
i think ist just a bit hard to click to the request then write, i had not much time to do that
but overall good job!

Really like the music. Did you make it? Would love to hear more. I've never played minecraft so the game was definitely a challenge.
Turns out I don't remember Minecraft as well as I thought, haha. I wish the timer was a bit more lenient. Neat idea though.
