ALIEN: Aside from featuring literal aliens, the idea was to insert the player into a situation alien to them, but mundane to the game world.

Very nice game! The idea is cool and I like how you get hints from the customers :). I think the choice of the aliens could be a little smarter: not asking for desserts you already know (since the goal seems to be to learn all the recipes?) and asking for maybe just 3-4 different desserts each time, not too many different ones (so it's eazier to remember and focus on the new recipes). It's nice to have the timeline at the bottom though :)!
The music gets a bit repetitive, some sound effects could help too. I like how you wanted to put the player in a spot alien to them :) (as you wrote above) and I do think you were succesfull at it :D. Great job on the game!
Thank so much for all the feedback! I wish I'd coded it so you only need to make each order twice or something... it would streamline the game a lot. And maybe ten is too many.
I'll remember to add some sound effects next time! That's the one thing I can't create myself so I tend to put it off...
Very clever concept! I like how it mixes the traditional food stand mechanics with memory mechanics. Well done!
Fun idea, but figuring it out is really hard. I wish the clues were more precise sometimes.
Nice but it was quite hard to figure the recipies out.
I really wanted to finish this one but I just couldn't get radioactive rush.
Still, it kept me engaged almost all the way, just a few little polishes could make it a lot better of an experience.
Weirdly addicting... Wish there was a way to see correct recipes after they get pushed off the list.
