The game is pretty neat. A bit hard at the beginning but after a couple of tries I knew the recepies better.

BUT. Ludum Dare Police! Did you updatet your graphics a couple of hours ago? If so, please make sure to provide the original game version (the Ludum Dare release) so people can rate your game like it was on the release date :)

Other than that, great game :smile:

@smeax Don't worry. We worked on art only on jam. Today I just fixed critical bug (you couldn't complete first day).

How many tasks have you done?

Neat concept for a game but, it fell short for me. I was a bit confused on how to actually do anything aside from click so I think the inclusion of a instruction panel or text would be extremely beneficial. I did however enjoy your art work. It was looking good, with a little polish this game could be even better. Keep up the good work!

Game looks really good.
Maybe you should consider fixing the english text, cause it doesn't make a lot of sense. But it's fun in that way :D
I tried the game a couple of times, but I didn't really get the idea. Ingredients cost the same, if not more expensive, compared to the return, so how are you supposed to make money? When are Satan satisfied and you can go back to your dysfunctional family. I have always seen satan as the ultimate salesman, so making a buisness with deficit really doesn't look like him.

Great game ! The art and mood are on point!

However I find it a bit hard to progress past the 2nd stage, as the gold you gain from doing the right thing is often just enough to compensate for the things you used in the recipe. Also the fullscreen option does not work in web for me, as when I press esc. to close the pause menu, it also minimize the window.

But yeah I still had fun playing it, and it's looking great. Congrats !

@ridderfar You are right. We have problems with economic and texts. We decided to continue working on the game and now we are trying to fix balance and narrative.

Thank you for feedback!

@jeu-embouteillage Yep, we have large problems with economic. We are working on it.

Thank you for bug in menu. I forgot about it. :flushed:

Great graphics! The artstyle reminds me of darkest dungeon. One thing I didn't understand is what are those yellow numbers near crafting items are for, since when I craft stuff their amount doesn't go down.

Very nice and atmospheric game! Balance is indeed somewhat poor, but graphics and general idea is top notch. Congrats!
