Neat idea. Great writing and voice over, and music. Seems like quite a big challenge to take on for a jam game (hey, a pun!) given how many different combinations you had to think of!

I found it tricky to understand if I’d done well or not… It seems I could pretty much always progress to the next recipe, no matter what I put on. I did enjoy the comments when I put something weird on. I got to Mac and Cheese and couldn’t get any further. Is that the end?

Mac and cheese is the last level. Sorry the game is missing a more decisive ending! lol.

And yeah, the feedback could be clearer. Basically, there are a few possibilities:

  • Bad substitution with something good in it and something bad in it, in which case you get a comment about something in there having potential
  • Bad substitution with something good in it and nothing bad in it, in which case you get a specific hint (I think some of the hints might be missing so you get no comment)
  • Bad substitution that doesn't fall in any of the above categories, in which case you get a randomized insult
  • Simple substitution, in which case you get no comments
  • More difficult substitution (weird, combination, non-food, or non-food combination), in which case you get a specific comment

If that's too much to remember, just pay attention to sfx: checkmark for success, paper crumple for failure.

You always get the option to progress further, even if you failed. Given the game's difficulty and the fact that the levels don't really build on each other, I didn't want anyone to be locked out of later levels because they couldn't figure out an earlier one
