Oh to help Shion brew wild concoctions with equally wild ingredients... I'm glad we could help you take your first step on the delicious spiral of game dev!

Even though it is simple, I appreciated the ambience and audio to keep me sane. It took me a second to nail down all of the triple-combos, but they're a great litmus test of the player's holo-fan knowledge!

From this base, I do think you could take this in different directions to spice up the player experience -- have Shion (or the cauldron) react to when you're doing good or bad, have there be multiple days of different sorts of combinations, have the combos contribute as active wanderers in the room that you can click on and interact with, and so on.

But again for a first game, I thought it was good. Thank you for submitting! 🙇‍♂️

Short and sweet game! Good work for your first game!

Definitely easy for hololive fans who are knowledgeable about multiple talents and can pick up all the references.

I like that you included sounds and music. It definitely adds to the ambience.

A couple of suggestions:

- Add an event that happens when you prepare a mix that doesn't match any fanbase. Like an explosion or something funny. Maybe have Shion say something.

- Add a button to return to the beginning or exit the game once the end screen is reached.

Ran into two very minor bugs, once two ingredients moved at the same time, and once an items 'home spot' was right on top of another item.  Not game breaking though, still managed to finish. Good job!

Quick little puzzle about fan mascots and items. 

Maybe next time you can consider trying other puzzle types as well!

Short but pretty nice! Not really any major issues, I only wish there was more or a bit more innovation

Simple but sweet :)
I enjoyed guessing and trying to figure out the specific item combinations and I could definitely see this kind of game being expanded on with more items and a hints system like suggested :0

It's a nice little game, but since I don't know every little reference that was used here, I had a hard time getting any results. I only got Korone since I've been watching her for years but also only with the help of the other comment.

Maybe some hints would have been helpful like telling me that I was close or something, otherwise it's just a guessing game with endless possibilities. I could be a nice cozy game with some improvements or if I knew more references..

Short one but nice Refferences. Actually my first thought was Bone + Boxing Glove + Yubi for Korone. Until I saw the Potato.
