This game just the epitome of cuteness. When I figured out what to do for the Cosmic Burger challenge, I had a smile on my face all the way through.

Another math game in tempura! An impeccable work in every aspect.

SO CUTE with enjoyable gameplay experience, I love the ending.

btw the hidden puzzles are too difficult for me

Cute and interesting! The joy of permutations and combinations is truly inexhaustible!

Follow-up: I also discovered that all items can be placed on the character's head! That's a truly charming little detail.

It's amazing how creative your games are. The logic puzzles are fun, and the twist with the cosmic burger was delightful. Incredibly cute game.

There are EIGHT hidden trophies?! I'm incredibly impressed. There's so many fun secrets I'll need to play it again to find them.

I recorded myself playing to provide extra feedback. Enjoy!

. >///< Thank you so much for the gameplay video!!
Thiori is super happy!! (Almost no one streamed games on Twitch this Ludum Dare, so this is the first gameplay feedback I got>///< gaaaa)
(The pizza recipe was originally cheese + tomato >///< but after watching, Thiori realized it should actually be ketchup instead >///< the recipe was immediately updated!)

I'd like to call this one "Magical levitating burgers"

![valuables.png](///raw/b71/72/z/6ebc9.png)

The trick here is to create a stack of 4+ flags between the burgers.

The fourth burger (salad) fucked me up. Couldn't get past it. I would need a little notepad or something haha. The art was fantastic, great entry!

@blue-pin-studio
it's a linear equation in two variables

x+y = 8

x+2y = 12

which means 4 single layer sauer and 4 double layer sause

This game is so cute! There's so much personality put into this project and I absolutely love the art, music, and all of the little details. The way all of the text interacts with the mouse is so pleasing, and the absolutely ~~absurd~~ beautiful burgers you can make... Amazing work

The animation feels so delightfully bouncy and squishy, just like jelly! And the art style is absolutely adorable!!

This is so cute and creative!!! You somehow took this simple idea and made it so fun and enjoyable, and you do it all in an art style that I could look at all day. I envy the art skills greatly. Good job!!!

ps: this is my first game jam, but I worked with someone who's been game jams for a while now and back in the day you commented on one of his previous entries. Ever since then you've been considered his GOAT and it would be so funny if I could surprise him with news that you commented on our entry this jam :laughing:

Very cute game! I like the ending part a lot - kinda reminded me of Katamari Damacy. It just was just dragging on a bit, but I thought it was a cool twist regardless.

Great art and fun gameplay, I loved the recipe puzzles, especially the fourth one with vegetables and sauces.

Delicious game! It's even better with ketchup!

What beautiful art and what great music. I even enjoyed the music while doing other things at work.

I haven't gotten all the achievements yet, but I saved them here so I can get them all!

Congratulations!

Cosmic level delicious juicy cute and fun game as usual! Love the way the final puzzle guide player to build burger up to the higher floors and the ending! Also interesting to explore the secret menu and managed to get 15 stars(btw in version 1.1, the word "lettuce tower" was written as "letter tower" so I thought it was supposed to be a list of all the ingredients starting from A to Z like bun cheese dog... and got so confused ( ¯(∞)¯ ))

Anyways fantastic entry!

p.s. I made a plate burger!![屏幕截图 2025-10-10 102558.png](///raw/f76/b5/z/6f26c.png)

This was a fantastic game. Started out iffy, as it went on I had to actually do some thinking and math lol. In the end making the cosmic burger was top tier fun!

I'm actually shocked you managed to fit as much as you did into this game. The graphics are incredible, the sfx and music are nice, there are three different layers of secrets to complete, and it all just feels really cohesive with limitless polish. I thought the game was already great before I hit the ending which pushed it over the top. Really great job you guys.

aah im such a fan of urs, i follow u on itch!! u always make such fun quirky games, i like them a lot. this one is no exception, it fools you with its 2000s flash game mechanics and then becomes an actual puzzle to solve :DD the visuals are also very fun, i love ur style. i also loved how jiggly everything is in this game ! ! aaa u guys did amazing!! check out my pretty burger hahaha![acreensht.png](///raw/93d/56/z/6f347.png)

This game was a delight! I loved it. After completing the cosmic burger, I went to the comments to see if anyone else found it and the I found the video from 100th_coin and he said "a classic thyoi game", so I guess you made some more in the spirit of these :innocent:

I love how everything is intractable. I can't imagine how much time this must have taken! Great job!

Wow, what an experience! I truly thought that having to get a pencil and paper for the cheese puzzle was a sign of a good design - but then the last puzzle came and boy, did I have a laugh. Awesome. I loved the design - from the bigger things like the art style and audio, to the smaller ones like how the parts move when I drag them and how the huge burger moves from one side to another.

I usually try to find something to improve in the games I play, but I honestly couldn't. I feel the pacing was really great - it rewarded me when I sought challenge by solving puzzles, it wasn't trivial, the scope was great for a LD entry.

I loved the humor in particular, but the really "revealing" part of it is when it got to the last puzzle and I noticed screen moving up. This was an "oh boy!" moment, as I really didn't expect it at all. The second floor got me laughing, but it was just the beginning. I love this.

There's not enough stars to give here. I'd be really surprised if this isn't top-1 in at least one category.

Awesome entry. Congrats!

A calm, well polished game. I'm curious, how did you implement in Godot saving to carry over data in a web build after the game is refreshed? I feel like it fits the theme really well to have saving implemented.
LDJam user 277851
Oct 15th · 06:43 UTC
@nbumgardner
(Thank you for the compliment >///<
(The save feature is probably using cookies. Godot’s saving system is really powerful — you just need to use FileAccess.open to save the file under "user://" and Godot will automatically store it in the appropriate location depending on the platform (for web, it should be in cookies).)

You can find more details about it here.

(It seems that Ludum Dare doesn’t allow links in comments, so you should be able to find it under “Exporting for the Web” in the Godot manual.)

Animations are just a bomb. Everything feels very juicy. And it's funny that interactive objects in the world are also ingredients. Very good!

I made a burger with something that should never be in the burger... and I am not feeling bad. I watch too much anime to be surprised at this point! :D

This game is absolutely a blast! The art, theming, and mechanics are all really fun to play with. It's even fun to mess with the UI when you're just clicking or mousing through and hearing the little chimes and interactions.

Also, you can pet the dog! This game has everything.

I feel like I'm committing child abuse but it's cute so its alright i guess. It would be a lot more fun to experiment if tempura chan has more dialog reactions to my burgerererers
