Congrats for the game :clap:
Awesome and cute artstyle, mood, and fitting music and theme. Great idea too - to summon demons only to immediately cook them!
I get that it's all black and white, but some color could have perhaps helped distinguish the three ingredient demons.
Also, having the the summoning reminders so far from recipes made me look back and forth all the time, like a tennis match.
Super solid entry overall!
Awesome submission! Those backgrounds look rad!
Gameplay wise it also took me a moment to realize that I have to summon all *groceries* at once, but after figuring it out it was some smooth gameplay. The indication if you do something wrong could maybe be a bit improved because I found myself sometimes confused of why no order got checked. Also maybe after a while the spawn rate for new orders could go up a little, I found myself in a run were the music already stopped playing and one new orders comming in just every few secong :smile: Got a 433 score in this run! Overall a nice fun game!
