I give up. I can't seem to find the perfect extra for my soap soup. This was fun! I encountered a couple of bugs though. The voice over doesn't seem to stop when moving to something else. There were times that I could hear three different things being said at the same time. And no, I can't turn voice over off, even though I'm perfectly capable of reading. Because, you know, I just love voice overs.

Another thing which I don't whether it was a bug or a feature, was that some ingredients weren't there at first and somehow suddenly appeared. Pizza crust and bacon are two that I remember. And I don't think the chicken was always there either.

Anyway, enough with negativity. I liked that there were a lot of text written for different combinations and different ingredients. That's another thing I enjoy.

All in all, I'd consider this an excellent concept. I'm very likely to buy a fully fledged game built around this idea. Great job.

I'm so happy people like my text and voiceovers! It's always fun when I can put my humor and acting into a work.

So what's going on with the voiceover is that I made a few different audio players (accessibility,  ingredient description, comment (for after you've submitted a recipe), and start). And I underestimated how easy it would be for those to overlap and be annoying (each audio player can play one thing at a time, so you could have up to 3 things going at once, or 4 if you are really fast). An update to condense this into fewer players would probably fix it.

The ingredients missing is both a bug and a feature. What's supposed to happen is that at the start of each recipe, some ingredients are taken away (because they are already put in the recipe, or because they would provide a solution that is too easy). Pizza crust and bacon are an example of this for pizza. Then, when starting a new recipe, those ingredients are reset. However, due to a bug the ingredients are not reset when you click "next recipe". So eventually your options are much more limited and some substitutions are impossible. You can work around this by going to your next recipe from the recipe select screen instead of using the "next recipe" button. (Although if you're getting those ingredients back it seems like not everyone is seeing that bug? Weird.)

And I'll give you a hint for the soap soup: it needs seasoning. What seasoning makes everything better?

I thought I need to use the Oregano as extras, but now I used them both as substitutes and voila! I got clean, spicy soap soup. Thanks for the tip!

Oh, and just in case I wasn't clear, please continue doing voiceovers in your next games too (if you can find a way to justify it for the game!). And that's not just for accessibility. It could also be used for story telling, for example. I remember when I played The First Tree, the bits of story told by the narrators were my favorite parts of the game.
