@squaxcom yeah it's so that the game fits the theme, you can't stop the curse, just delay it. Thank you!
The difficulty scaling is nice, it gives you breaks here and then so it's not always super long recipes. That might be too easy if it always jumps from like 7 ingredients to only 3, but I also stopped at 55 so maybe it does get more challenging. Overall it's really nice and fun!
@andy-beers Thanks for the feedback!
@kewdev Thanks!
@eaglev Thank you, I will do something about the difficulty curve.
@payaosito I'm happy that you will like it, I will look into making the tutorial less confusing
@elimarable I will take that into account, thank you for your feedback!
I needed a second game to properly understand what I had to do, but I want to say that the intro/tuto is an awesome idea, loved that!
The visuals are really cool, and the idea of writing the letters in the style of the icon they refer to is clear and intuitive.
I'm a bit sad that there was no music or sound effect. 2 or 3 of them could have improved the mood so much for very little effort. I would recommend to give it a try next time ;)
Great job!
