difficult but relaxing cool game, i had a problem when the baker cat left due to the delay in paying the fish, and then returned when I fed him again, he refused to let the new dough be pushed into the oven

Cool game! I like the ambience and artwork. I feel like the cat treat bars should drain a little bit slower in the beginning to get players used to playing though since there's a lot going on at once.

This was fun, maybe you can highlight the recipes so it's easier to understand the ingredients you need

I had a bit of trouble getting started with this game, which I partly blame on not being attentive enough. The artwork is INCREDIBLE, it's so perfect.

However, there's a lot going on the screen right at the start and I felt a bit overwhelmed initially. I also struggled with figuring out where to put the ingredients, I was placing them into the oven (which obviously didn't work) before re-reading the instructions. Then I tried adding them to the table with the plates and again I struggled until I figured out I had to give the ingredients to the cat. At this point, I realized that the issue was with me and not the game, but a bit more guidance would have helped me a lot in the beginning. Once I had a general understanding,

I was well on my way to baking plenty of treats. The gameplay loop is solid, in fact, it's very good!

I would say that the gameplay area feels cramped and it added slightly to feeling constricted. Overall, once I overcame the challenge of knowing what to do, I enjoyed the game a lot. I would probably reduce the cat's treat depletion rate so you have a bit more time to manage everything and then ramp it up if you wanted to introduce difficulty.
