About this Demo

This demo features 4 playable levels, giving you a first glimpse into the adventure. The full version is planned to include 6 unique themed worlds, each with their own NPCs and mechanics designed to deliver a truly memorable puzzle experience.

Our goal is to keep pushing the game’s identity with high-quality pixel art and an original soundtrack, ensuring that every detail feels crafted with care. Ultimately, we aim to make this project a worthy candidate for a physical release.

This was one of the highlights of the jam for me. Simple, but clear and beautifully executed. I love the stage select screen. If I were to change anything, I'd suggest speeding up the post-stage scoring screen :)

Thank you so much for your comments. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on the game. I still plan to make changes to the HUD and menu screens, and of course speed up the score screen, haha. There’s also plenty of work left on the music and level design. I’m planning to release this version physically, hopefully sometime toward the end of 2026.

How complicated are physical releases anyway? I wonder if I should look into it for one of my projects.

Hmm, I think the really tricky part is finding someone who’s interested in your project to handle the game’s distribution and marketing (a publisher). Otherwise, trying to release it on your own would be more complicated and expensive.

Where can I find Restrex0 love the music

really like the game. it has clear and readable visuals, nice animations (love the rolling slime)…and yeah, had a lot of fun with the game.

only „critique“ would be: there is no visible feedback when you pick up an ingredence. or if you delivered the ingredence in the pot…maybe the color of the soup could change everytime you put it in the pot?!

Love the art style and the gameplay is fun! The only thing is that the scan-line effect on the HUD feels a bit distracting to me, and I also noticed some text overflowing here and there.

Still, really nice game! :D
