Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.71/day in the week to Aug 7 → 0.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Gostei muito da experiência. É um jogo que prende facilmente a atenção, oferecendo inúmeras possibilidades de testar diferentes combinações. A sensação de descobrir novas sinergias torna as primeiras horas bastante envolventes. Depois de algum tempo, porém, a familiaridade com os itens faz com que a progressão fique um pouco repetitiva, já que se torna relativamente fácil montar os conjuntos desejados. Mesmo assim, o jogo consegue manter aquela vontade de fazer "só mais uma partida" e continuar aumentando a pontuação, mesmo sabendo que o objetivo é, essencialmente, alcançar scores cada vez maiores. No geral, é um jogo simples, viciante e muito bem executado, que vale a pena para quem gosta de experimentar estratégias e otimizar cada partida.

Я нормально так здесь залипла. Механика кажется однотипной, но чем больше играю, тем больше всего интересного нахожу. Советую P.s. Чтоб я еще хоть раз верила фиолетовым французам...
very fun
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Clover Pit" type of the game but instead of slot machine, you place food in a bento in a puzzle-tetris style gameplay. It has secrets, unlocks and lots of different strategies to win the game so it has depth to keep you entertained and interested. For me, it has better progression and late game than other games of the genre that lose interest so early in the game. Great job!
STEAM DECK LCD - GAME REVIEW I would like to thank Black Lantern Collective for gifting me a game key for this incredible indie title! My wife and I love this game so much that I bought the Supporter Pack DLC. The game is exactly what it says on the tin, a rougelike bento builder that works almost like food tetris but more in depth! The puzzle like bento building is addictive, and its fun to try out new combinations to beat the next high score. There are also escape room style puzzles in this game, which we did not expect to enjoy so much on top of the bento boxes! All in all, there's nothing negative I can say about the game! The game runs great on Steam Deck with no problems or bugs. The price for this game is very reasonable for the amount of content the game offers, and tons of reply value. Thanks again to Black Lantern Collective for the free game key, it's much appreciated! 😊
Really fun and satisfying! Its reaaaaally simmilar to Clover Pit but that aint no problem, I really love this nontheless
Very enjoyable little game, vibes are creepy and the gameplay is simple but quite fun with some shocking depth to it, took me about 6 hours to get the ending and there is a LOT left for me to do, would recommend!
un ptit jeux indé très sympa <3 Préparer de la bouffe de manière opti avec des ptit secret dans la pièce que j'ai toujours jamais trouvé X)
