Nice little game. I adore the pixel art :). As others mentioned the game is quite challenging to play, because of the small vision and you had to pick one item at a time. I even tried to pick everything and move it next to the kettle but I was missing some sources from the recipe and was already quite frustrated from the tunnels.
That being said I don't like straightforward solutions with navigating indicators. I even turn those off in many games like Skyrim or The Witcher 3 because then the game is more immersive. I would maybe add two difficulties, one with a map and one without it.
