Pretty creative concept of resizing objects, makes you think about where to place items to get the maximum score!

This is a great puzzle idea! Well done!

Really cute, love the drawn art. Have never played a puzzle game like this, interesting spatial reasoning. Could be cool to see it styled like a papas pizza game where you are receiving orders and must fit them in different boxes. Nice work!!

Neat little puzzler, impressive work for only your second game! The game play was enjoyable and would have happily played more levels. I agree with the suggestion of adding the ability to rotate the cakes. If you decide to continue working on this project that's always something you could add in the future.  Nice work, you should keep making games!

A pretty clever puzzler! Throws you right in, shows you the basics, challenges you. Nice work!

5 starts in creativity! This is the most original game I've played for the jam so far. And the fact that it is your second one ever is great! Visuals are consistent and give it a charm. Well done.

As a suggestion, after the jam I would like to see more levels and the ability to rotate the shapes. Well done.

Very clever and fun puzzle game with a lot of visual and audio charm.

Solid little puzzle game. I like the core idea of trying to optimize the cake position and found it very satisfying when I picked right. There are quite a few levels and despite the simple premise you kept each feeling fun and unique. 

Good work!

I did run into a bug where I could hold and move a cake while it was baking. Only happened once or twice though, so it is not a prevalent problem or anything. Just figured I would let you know.

Yeah, I found that bug too but by the time I found it, I was already tired of working on the game

I liked the concept and it was fun trying several different combinations to maximize the score. I really found myself wishing there was a way to rotate the cakes though.

Well done I can see how this could become a really interesting puzzle game. I wish the shapes had less randomness, I think it would be very fun to try and get the exact right locations to fill all the space where possible without a lot of leftover gaps. Great concept. 
I would be good if you included sound settings as its quite loud  to begin with. Also you need to configure your stretch setting in Godot as at the moment the browser starts zoomed ito one corner of the acreen and when you apply fullscreen it stays the original size in the corner. You need to set your stretch mode to canvas layer and your stretch aspect to keep (or stretch if that is your preference) so that the game fills the avilable space correctly.

very fun and cute! i like the music a bunch

I like the general concept! I think the gameplay could be a bit more engaging, after a while I just figured out the pattern of "put the shape that fills this spot the best", and then it got a little boring (maybe adding an additional variable to the gameplay would make things more interesting?) - other than that, I had fun checking it out!
