Don't Let It Starve

i let it starve... and... *gulp*... you do NOT wanna know what happens..................................

This game is incredibly cool and criminally underseen. I know it sits in the vein of other games like it, but the roguelike elements, mystery, and different challenges here are very cool and gives you tons to play with. High recommend from me.

Game is good. Some translations / explanations are a bit hard to understand. And I'd prefer if "reset the entire game" button would be harder to find than reset the round and maybe EXPLAINED WHAT "RESET" MEANS IN THAT CONTEXT. ￣へ￣

even though the game has multiple dificulties, it doesnt get more dificult, just more anoying and more restricting. olives are strong on 1 and 2 star dificulties, but in 3 and 4 star they are baisically requiered, as the dificulty modifires make all other foods unreliable and almost impossible to get a full bento(and non full ones reqire one specific tool to be close to usable) i had a lot of fun in the demo, but with the full game i just cant justify playing it for a long time. most runs you either horrible lack scaling for the score, or over shoot by a ton, there isnt really an inbetween. and a lot of legendary tools/chefs dishes are lacking, when they are supposed to be extreamly rare. if you are looking to kill a few hours, this is it, but anything more i cant see it.

Overall I recommend this game, It is a well crafted game. Graphics are fitting. Gameplay loop is fun, be it a little bit repetetive after a while even with the added challenges, but thats probably with all of these "number go up" type of rogue lites... It would be great to explore more food shapes, even if they were more restricting. Compared to like Cloverpit, it lacks some end game progression or something to continue grinding for, like the 999 build and sacred relics. Maybe it has it and I did not find it yet. The challenges of higher difficulties are generic for all it seems, would be fitting to add specific challenges to different types of chef hats tailored just for them. The different shaped bento boxes overwhelmingly rely on olives, because the random shape just does this. There is no way to influence the separated shapes. So you will often end up with vegetable/olive build imo. Or with trash/empty build. Because meats and grains are just too big and putting them in is often loss of score. In case of normal shaped bentos, there is a clear winner in terms of efficiency and that is bread build, that just goes infinite with very few items. I guess greater look into those things will make the game even better

The VIBES on this are so good. Puzzles. Gambling. French monsters. There's literally nothing to not love and well worth the generous price tag.

This game is similar to cloverpit, although seemingly not as fun still worth the money. If you liked cloverpit you'll likely enjoy this game too. Also runs well on a potato PC.
