Loved the game, the soundtrack is cute and in combination with the flow of the game makes it hilarious.
I laughed so much and I feel bad about it!
The graphics are really charming and the idea is very unique and I like the different permutations!
I played it through =)
I especially loved the weird cow when you feed it with the baby pumpkin.
Very charming!
To start, I loved the art, animation, and music. Everything fit together really nicely. The game itself was fun, and just when I thought I was finished you threw another set of combinations at me. What a rollercoaster. In the end I would have been interested in seeing how many cows went in to making that avacado salad.
Great job, and thanks for the educational guide on where Avacodos come from.
Aside from that everything looks really good and is animated well, and the music is pretty fantastic too. Overall the game feels more or less complete, which is awesome.
Very funny game, excellent graphics and nice concept. It was a bit repetitive at the end, maybe some engaging reward, like number of recipes unlocked, would make the game even more engaging.
I also discovered, much to my delight, that if you drag a cow underground and let it go it flings itself up into the air, which amused me greatly.
The one bone I have to pick is the amount of ingredients needed- the game's joy comes from discovering new ridiculous combinations, not from repeating the processes, so I'd suggest making it simply one of each ingredient. I'd also suggest against requiring multiples to feed the creatures on screen, since that's also tedious work, but it's not quite as grueling as me getting to the end of the chain for the tomato and saying "I have to do all of that again now??"
Still though, really beautiful game you have here, very professional and polished!
The simplicity makes it very elegant!
The progression is a bit grindy, but as it is the main core mechanic to discover the recipes, I won't complain.
I'm not a fan of elements though which artificially slow down your progress - in this game the fact that you need to use multiple items for some tasks, especially the ones with a high production effort (like corn) is frustrating. Some other comments have already pointed this out. A solution could be to provide an alternative, easy way to obtain an item once you've unlocked it.
Also I do like sarcastic games in general, I just think veganism is quite a controversial choice for a sarcastic topic.
