nom nom nom yummy!
Fun game, I really like the funny food names/ingredients. Art/music/sounds etc. are very fitting.
Good job!

Great. A feeling of peace and tranquility. It looks like a fun farm. You collect different types of animals and herbs, you cook. Suitable music and animations.

Fun experience!

I was initially confused by the recipe menu as I didn't realize you could scroll, but once I did I had tons of expensive recipes to create from all the hobbits and humans I had been bringing home. Overall just a fun game to play around in for a while, I'm still not sure how to deal with the elves without taking damage at least once :P

This game is so cool! What impressed me the most was the amount of hand-drawn stuff. UI is awesome! Also, everything has its own sounds and theyэre really cool, which makes the whole experience really fun.

Hah, I love how this guy just eats everything and everyone, a real connoisseur of variety here XD

Never thought one punch man x shrek combo would be so fun😭 loved this game, all the interactions are fire!!

There was a few times characters couldn't notice me to fight, so i tossed a pan at them and it fixed..Overall, great job

You had me hooked the moment I saw 'recipes with socks'—what a delightfully quirky concept! The game idea is absolutely fantastic, and the creativity behind it shines through. I’m completely charmed!

A fun and unusual game! 🎮 The ogre-style take on cooking is simply brilliant! 🧅🍖 Traveling with the Chef for fresh (and sometimes moving) ingredients makes you smile at every step. Great graphics, humor, and interesting recipes — all this makes the game unforgettable. 😄 I was a little confused with the recipe menu at first, but then it became a pleasure to figure it out. Thanks for the fun experience! 👨‍🍳

I love the fact that this is oddly accurate to what the "high chefs" in middle ages did: Combining weird parts of things nobody would ever eat and call it "Gourmet".

A very relaxing and enjoyable mini-game, although it seems like I caught a lot of people and ate them (laughs). However, I feel that there are too few types of abilities to improve. Additionally, the art style is very interesting!

Yay I made it to 5K gold and the local news!
At first the "E" to grab ingredients looked a bit like a "F" on my screen, and I couldn't get why I was failing to pick up ingredients. Fortunately after testing a bunch of other keys I realized my mistake.

It was fun to hunt ingredients and read all the recipes descriptions. I also liked the music, it's a good fit for the game's atmosphere.

Delicious :)
Very cool game, I would really like to play and play, so that there is more content. New places, more progression and enemies. It's a great concept. Maybe there will be a post jam version?

Fun unique game. I played first levels by smashing everything, before I started to collect some stuff.
Well done !

Very fun game, extra points on the humor part! I can see this developing into a dark humor game for sure. Amazing work!

Fantastic game!! :) I was really hooked by it. Really great recipe for a fun game loop!!

Love all the environmental animations and details. So much charm!

Only thing I'd suggest is a tracker for the 5000 gold objective. I didn't realize it was cumulative, and thought I had to forego upgrades for a while to stockpile 5000 so I could win. I would have bought a few more upgrades while I was farming!

Had a great time playing. You also made the length of the game perfect, around 10-15 minutes to beat. Great work!

This game has layers!

I knew as soon as I saw it that I needed to play it. It's hilarious and fun to play! Giving the creatures the old bonk & yoink was enjoyable throughout.

Good old Orgron Gramsay! He knows how to put a dish together and everyone knows it! He's always having people for dinner!

Interesting concept, definitely feel the humor in this one. Gameplay felt fairly smooth and the environment looks nice. The upgrades didn't really feel like they changed much, and at one point I moved into a cow and it got stuck on me, moving wherever I did. It's a small thing and easily fixed by attacking the cow, but felt you should know. Still, this was fun, well done.

Fun concept and art. I did not feel like there was enough incentive to try out all the dishes and collect all the ingredients.

Highly addictive I enjoyed the ogre experience more than I thought, truly it called out to me in the time of need.

Really fun (and funny!) game! It reminded me a lot of old Flash launcher-style games, with the short level playthrough to gather money to spend in the shop in-between the rounds. The additional layer of having to turn gathered ingredients into recipes to actually get the money was pretty interesting, and there's a ton of different recipes to cook! The graphics look good, but what gives the game a lot of character is all the little animations on basically everything. The music track feels really fitting, and the sound design is pretty good too! Mechanically the game is solid, though I think I'd modify the costs of upgrades a bit. With some practice I finished the game at day 14 while having both upgrades still under level 10, and after another week I managed to get the endurance up maybe 2-3 levels at most. Getting to 50 seems like an impossible task! :P Overall, it's a really cool jam game, well done!
