I remember watching the development of this and loving the sounds the villagers make! Reminds me of Patapon. Sound design is tied very well with the way things work. The gameplay and finding ingredients is a little odd to figure out, however. I love that it is a peaceful game, most entries are going to be violent given the genre, mine included.

I love that you are using a mech, but for peaceful activities! The world needs more wholesome games that aren't all based on destruction and death.

Cool farming feeding game. I liked the design of the mech and playing with all the controls. It wasn't apparent from the start that I had to hit Q/E to turn the screen because it seemed like a Menu that was open and not one side of the Mech. Might not want to have a start Mech button or have an Engine picture on it, it wasn't intuitive to push that button. I like the overall concept but a couple things need a bit of tweaking. I suggest something a bit different for collecting the veggies, a single switch to get one veggie isn't fun. Maybe have a plow engage and the player can walk through veggies to gather them. Or have a box area that picks up multiple veggies at the same time. I ended up holding click and going up and down real fast to get a number of veggies in front of me. I wasn't fully sure of what "flavors" did what. I only saw Salty and Umami requested and I added those but my flavor was a very low percentage. Did some veggies have different flavors in them by default? Might want to add a Screen or location to show how many veggies you have or to show the collection/percentage of flavors loaded into the mech.

What a game!

I'd been keeping an eye out for this ever since I saw it posted on the work in progress section of the mech jam discord.

I love these kinds of mech games where you have to manually press the buttons inside your mechs cockpit, and this is one of the best examples I've played. It feels great just to fiddle around with the buttons and levers inside your mech.

Characters are super cute, and I love the relaxing music, gives this a nice casual vibe, I can play at my own pace and work stuff out bit by bit.

The only real criticism I can give is that I'd like if picking the vegetables was a little more interactive, maybe with a grabber arm that you had to guide onto each one in order to pick them, rather than just flicking a lever.

Still amazing job to you all, well done!

Bro this is low-key one of the most unique entries! Such a simple yet fresh concept, the controls feel nice and gameplay loop works well, truly well done! Hidden gem 💎 ❤️

Really like the ideas in this game, especially the incredibly unique pachinko cooking mechanic. When I went to make another soup the game wouldn't let me shoot during the on-rails section though for some reason.

So far I'm loving the controls and have been riding around the town honking my air horn, but do call me smooth brained cause I'm not understanding how to harvest these vegetables.

Thanks for checking out our game!

There’s a lever on the right side of the cockpit (if you’re facing out the window) which will harvest vegetables if you’re close enough to them. There are 5 kinds of veggies scattered around the map!

Solid entry, enjoyed the mech movement mechanics and visual presentation a lot.
