I did the programming and sound design, along with half the art or so. And my friend (@rupurtbunny on twitter) did the rest of the art, along with lots of testing and design help.

Use of the limitation
You are playing as the squire to a knight, a sidekick to the actual hero.
Cookies eaten
None! I had a few mini cupcakes though. My friend had 5.

Really solid game all up. Awesome!
What an interesting concept! Love the music, graphics and gameplay. I think the ingredients disappear a tad too quickly in relation to the swing of the hero's sword, but that's just my personal opinion. I wasn't too sure how you were able to cook the ingredients thought. I was too busy dodging the hero's sword and enemy attacks. lol
One other thing...not too sure where the poison theme comes in here.
The overall idea is pretty unique I gotta say.
Would be cool if the squire had a health bar imo.
very interesting concept! However, the ingredients disappear too quickly. The graphics are very stylish and cool. The restriction is used in a very interesting way. We are not a hero here, we are just a hero's assistant :D
Super solid game! Loved the use of the limitation and you did really well creating a unique idea from it. This was probably the best looking and most aesthetic of all the games I’ve seen so far as well! Great job :)
This is one of the best games I played this jam! I loved the art and the funny dialogue. The gameplay was rather unique and fun. My only complaint is that I experienced some weird hitboxes with projectiles, where the bullet clearly did not hit me, but I still died. Overall, amazing work!
perfect idea
Great idea of playing a support unit and dodging enemies and friendlies. Lots of fun and looks and plays great!
That is some very nice art! And the idea really got to me :) Highly enjoyed, even though it is quite hard
Pretty fun! Really great art style and sound design, also some really smooth movement. I like the game loop as well and its a nice fun game to play. Well done
This is really well done, looks super polished and has a pretty interesting mechanic! It's also SUPER HARD; dunno how many times I got killed by the knight trying to collect the monster drops before I was even able to cook once. Not particularly complaining about the difficulty, mind you, this seems like an "easy to play, hard to master" situation. :)
