Off the bat, I loved the intro and the UI. Very cute, great background, great effects, transitions, overall loved the look.
The game itself was very fun, loved the puzzles, loved the uniqueness, felt super fresh.
For the most part the game ran smooth, I did have a random crash on picking one of the levels once, but that was it. The UI was intuitive for the most part, there are only 3 QOL change I would have made - having the movable characters be outlined or otherwise pronounced in some way to make them obvious at the start of the level, have the tutorial explain that the filling must come before the other part of the cake (which in hindsight is obvious, but not immediately upon play), and have a quick restart level button.
Visually, it looks very fun. The varied walls, tiles, etc. are very cute. I love its adherence to the culinary theme. However, if you are in a level long enough, the music stops looping. Otherwise, love the music, love the audio cues.
The gameplay itself was great, although I could not for the life of me figure out how to beat level 4, unless there was some interaction on some object I was missing. Overall though, I think it was great fun.
Congrats on finishing a game, and thanks for participating!
from the moment that your game started i was excited to play it! that's such a good sign. wonderful little slide puzzles. level 6 was a head scratcher for sure. and there were some ice tiles left over, so i either beat it an unintentional way or they were decoys :P.
honestly, your UI skills shone bright in this game. The controls felt fluid. of the probably 30 or 40 games ive played from this jam so far, this one is definitely top 10 for me.
With all that said... i loved the music so much, that when in level 6, i took longer than the 30sec song loop and it turned off... i really noticed. That's a super easy fix though.
Overall, wonderful game. would happily play more levels! Great job!

thanks for the review, just to make sure, which level caused the crash? Don't wanna keep a crash in game ya know?
The 4th level, I think it happened because I double-clicked on the level too quickly
