Thanks for your comment!
I'm sorry to hear you encountered these bugs... I tried to investigate your observations and noticed a few things. I wrote a list below with a few things that might help if you're willing to give it another try.
Nevertheless, thank you for leaving a comment and for your kind words about our art :)
- itch.io seems to capture the keyboard Input when using keys before pressing into the game rectangle, that's why entering the name and the controls in the Lightning game wouldn't work. So I'm able to reproduce this bug. Not sure why this happens but I don't have a solution to prevent this. BUT: you can fix it by clicking inside the game rectangle and then pressing TAB a few time (2-3 times). This seems to set the focus to the game which leads to the keyboard input working again.
- I haven't noticed the slowdowns in the lightning game yet, but I will have a look at it later tonight. Thanks for pointing that out.
- In the cocktail mixing game you turn the current ingredients into a cocktail when pressing a mouse button. This cocktail can then be served to a guest by clicking on the recipe below the guest.
