Thank you for your in depth feedback! I just made up an order and the food had to fit the setting, so I'm glad the UI helped with this randomness a bit.
I've added potions to change your form, teleports to save steps on the floors and a floor skip for gold in an upcoming update, to give the player more options how to solve a room. I'm hoping this takes away some of the "just execute the right thing" feeling that you mentioned, which is a valid point.
Looking forward to try Matchkromia and it's puzzle elements!
