Really liked the design and concept! The control sceme was a bit confusing and I still didn't fully understand how to construct the different meals. I think the tutorial should teach the player controls and where to get different items.

I don't think I quite understood what I had to do. I think you have over complicated a bit the gameplay, or maybe it is just the tutorial not being clear enough (or maybe it's just me being slow to understand, who knows).

But I really liked the idea of Grim Reaper owning a diner in the purgatory ! That is fun. The amount of work you've done is quite impressive. The game runs smoothly, the ambiance of the scene is really nice.

Well done !

Honestly extremely impressed that you added controller support & local multiplayer AND still had the time to add so many recipes. Really neat setting too.

Although it did feel too easy to drop things on the floor accidentally - I think the interaction range for objects is a bit too short. Great work overall

I didn't manage to play with the controller in WebGl on itchio, the atmosphere remains cool, however I don't think I really understood how to play

After the initial confusion, it turned it turned out to be a neat little task game. The graphics and sounds are great. The game is a lot more polished than many games i played here. The buyable items are quite expensive, so I did not play long enough to afford them. Great work with the atmosphere!

Lovely Looking and Feeling game I had fun with it but you do have to really follow the tutorial to get to grips with it overall well done

took me a minute to really figure it out (it tried to access my controller at first but didn't quite manage all buttons..) but once I got a hang of controls I find there's an impressive amount of stuff here for a jam game!
Good job there, reminds me a bit of "overcooked" and works well enough already to give a good feel for where the game could go with more time (actually not sure how you did all this in just 3 days..). For further polish it'd be nice if the interact area actually aligned with where it shows interact buttons. Also it crashed after a while on itch.io, not sure if that's a game issue or an itch compatibility issue.

I really didn't understand what to do, and I played the tutorial. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make any food that wasn't using a glowing baby of some sort, but then the food wasn't to their specifications!

In any case, I recorded myself playing so you can see my experience with the game, and hopefully what needs to be explained better. There's also a good possibility I'm dumb and just missed something simple.

@100th-coin I think playing in ultra-wide mode caused some issues. When you load up the tutorial you are meant to be greeted with some text, teaching you how to play the game. It seems that did not load. That may not fix all your issues but i didn't make it all the way through the video.

I played the downloadable version and it works like a charm! As mentioned above, it also reminds me of Plate up. Very fun game and I loved the 3d art!
