First look at the game, it feels very polished with the Lofi music in the background really adding alot of atmosphere and mood into the game. Like some other comments have said there seems to be small bugs thoughout the play through which at times can be annoying (I had a hard time combining different ingridients together, sometimes worked sometimes didnt for the same items.), the sound effect of the wrong move is kinda obnoxious.
Last thing about the big instruction manual at the start of the game it was really long to read through and it i think its such a missed opportunity to put all the cooking recipes in the same book at the beginning so that the player isnt just guessing around for the recipes (i know may not have been easy to achieve with the time).
BUT I really liked the idea for the game is really solid and it felt really polished to play with. Really good job to what can be achieve with such a short time! for future it'll be probbaly good to make it more satisfying to make the foods.

Thanks so much for playing the game and all the great feedback!
There was a very annoying bug that I couldn't manage to fix during the jam were the frying, boiling, chopping or merging items created 2 items and then that messed with your mouse and picking up and placing things. A few people have said that the error sound effect was annoying, that there was to much reading at the start and that the recipes should be in the guidebook so if I get time ill see what I can to do improve these.
Hopefully after the jam ill get an update out soon. Thanks again for all the feedback.
